android auto

Android Auto is a mobile app developed by Google to mirror features of an Android device, such as a smartphone, on a car's dashboard information and entertainment head unit.
Once an Android device is paired with the car's head unit, the system can mirror some apps on the vehicle's display. Supported apps include GPS mapping and navigation, music playback, SMS, telephone, and Web search. The system supports both touchscreen and button-controlled head units. Hands-free operation through voice commands is available and recommended to reduce driver distraction.
Android Auto is part of the Open Automotive Alliance, a joint effort of 28 automobile manufacturers, with Nvidia as tech supplier, available in 36 countries.

    There is a new version of android auto but I don't see any way to update the MG5 system. Is it an eventual over the air update or is it for after market head units only? Anyone tried it?

    My Android Auto problem solved ?

    I have had constant issues connecting and staying connected to AA. I have bought and used both cheap and expensive cables. In fact I had more success with the cheap (2 for 99p off ebay) than I did with the expensive Anker cable. The phones I have used are all Motorola. Well I was rummaging...

I do have the phone in dark mode but Waze on the phone works...

    How to reduce Android Auto phone battery drain by over 50%

    Since I started using Android Auto (via USB connection) I've noticed there is a heavy battery drain and the phone gets quite warm. After a bit of searching this looks like a common problem. I've recently installed an AA Wireless adapter and found the drain is even worse. The first screenshot...

    Whenever I place or receive a call via Android Auto or Bluetooth, the inbuilt mic doesn’t seem to work as the other party can’t hear me at all.

    The old Android Auto problem!

    I've had our ZS EV Exclusive a couple of weeks now (from new) and have to say we are very impressed with most things. We sold a Jaguar XF (2.0D 2016 Portfolio model) and the MG measures up pretty well against it considering that it is half the price of the Jag from new. We both think that the...
