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.

    So after the abject failure to update my sat nav and with a broken radio, I thought I'd try and test Android Auto too. Connected the phone to the correct port and AA started on the phone. Pressing the AA bit on the head unit states I need to connect the phone! But it is connected and...

    Android Auto customisation re. charging points

    I was just trying customise what apps are available within Android Auto and in particular those to do with charging points - Zap Map f.ex.

    Does Android auto use much phone data ?

    My PAYG phone bundle only gives me about 500Mb of data each month, as I normally only use it for calls and texts. If I connect to Android auto to go on a longer journey, say 2-3 hours would I be using much data running just maps and not streaming music etc ?
