How Android Auto works- Enjoy the reading!\u00a0 Dubai UAE<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/a>You have just bought a new car with the Android Auto system installed as standard, would you like to configure it better but you have no idea how?\u00a0No problem, if you want I’m here to give you a hand and explain\u00a0\u00a0how it works Android Auto<\/strong>\u00a0: I assure you that it is much simpler than what you imagine.<\/p>\n

As you may already know, Android Auto is an application that allows you to duplicate the screen of your smartphone<\/strong> on the display in the car, but with a minimal interface designed specifically to use the phone to drive.\u00a0Allows access to the main features of the mobile device and supported applications, avoiding distractions while driving thanks to the controls on the car steering wheel and convenient voice functions that allow you to “sort” the system to send messages, make calls, get directions or play music.<\/p>\n

If I have intrigued you and can not wait to take advantage of Android Auto, do not waste more time in chatter and let’s get to work immediately: take five minutes of free time, read the next paragraphs carefully and I’m sure you will succeed quickly to understand if your car supports Android Auto, how to install the app and how to use it better.<\/p>\n

Compatible car models and models<\/h2>\n

Before entering into the operation of\u00a0Android Auto<\/strong>\u00a0, you need to know the minimum requirements and the car models that support the service.<\/p>\n

Android Auto is compatible with over 400 car models, including the\u00a0 Abarth<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0Alfa\u00a0 <\/strong>Romeo , Audi , Borgward , Cadillac , Chevrolet , Chrysler , Citro\u00ebn , Dodge , Fiat , Ford , Maserati , Kia , Opel ,\u00a0\u00a0Peugeot ,\u00a0\u00a0Renault , Smart , Skoda ,\u00a0\u00a0Subaru , Suzuki ,\u00a0\u00a0Volkswagen\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Volvo. In addition, it supports numerous models of stereo systems, such as those of\u00a0 Alpine<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0CVTE<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0JBL<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0JVC<\/strong>,\u00a0Kenwood<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0Panasonic<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0Pioneer<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Sony<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0You can view all car and<\/div>\n
stereo models compatible with Android Auto by consulting the official list<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0on Android.com, which is constantly updated.<\/div>\n

Another important thing that you need to know is that Android Auto can be supplied as standard or as an option.\u00a0This means that you may be in possession of a car model compatible with Android Auto but not to be able to use it as it is not added at the time of purchase.\u00a0For detailed information, you can contact your retailer.<\/p>\n

If you do not have a compatible car model, do not worry!\u00a0With an update released at the end of 2016, the possibility of using Android Auto in the car via your smartphone was introduced.\u00a0All you need (even in the case of a compatible car model) is a device with Android 5.0 or later (although for optimal performance it is recommended at least Android 6.0), a good USB cable and an active Internet connection.<\/p>\n

How to install and activate Android Auto<\/h2>\n

To use\u00a0Android Auto\u00a0you need to download and install the free application, available for Android smartphones and tablets that have the minimum requirements listed in the previous paragraphs.<\/p>\n

To download Android Auto, take your device and start the\u00a0\u00a0Play Store<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0by pressing on its icon (the symbol \ufe0e\u00a0\u00a0colored<\/b>\u00a0)).\u00a0Now, type\u00a0\u00a0Android Auto<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0in the search engine at the top and tap the\u00a0Search<\/strong>\u00a0item\u00a0\u00a0, then find\u00a0Android Auto\u00a0(should be the first result) and press the buttons\u00a0\u00a0Install<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Accept<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0to start downloading and installing the app.\u00a0If you can not find the app on Play Store, it means your device is not compatible.<\/p>\n

If you intend to use Android Auto via the phone screen<\/a>, start the application you just installed and press the\u00a0Continue<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0several times to accept the contract of use and to allow Android Auto to access data related to your position, to use other applications and to make and manage phone calls, after which if requested, make updates and suggested downloads, such as maps of Google Maps.<\/p>\n

Now, apply the phone on the dashboard of the car using a suction cup or similar support, activate the\u00a0Bluetooth<\/strong>\u00a0connection\u00a0\u00a0to allow the mobile device and the car to communicate with each other and you’re done.\u00a0If you do not know how to connect your smartphone to the car or if there is no Bluetooth on your vehicle, you can read my guide on\u00a0how to connect the phone to the car\u00a0.<\/p>\n

If the model of your car is one of more than 400 with Android Auto installed as standard, you can use the service through the display of the car.\u00a0All you have to do is turn on the car and connect the smartphone to the vehicle’s USB socket via the original USB cable (wireless connection is not possible), allowing the mobile device and the car to communicate with each other through a mechanism called mirroring .<\/p>\n

If the Android Auto app is already installed on your device, the service will start automatically, otherwise you will be asked to download and install the application.While Android Auto is in use, the screen of your smartphone will offer a completely black screen with the writing Android Auto, thus being unusable: a solution, probably inconvenient but smart, to prevent any kind of distraction while you’re behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

How to use Android Auto<\/h2>\n

Whether you intend to use Android Auto via your car’s display or your phone’s screen, its operation does not change.\u00a0Launch the application and, on its main screen (called\u00a0Home<\/strong>\u00a0), you can view recent activities such as the latest navigation destinations, calls made or received, as well as useful information such as weather, traffic information and all received notifications.<\/p>\n

On the Home screen you can also use the menu at the bottom (on smartphone is located on the right) that allows you to access four functions:\u00a0Navigation the\u00a0\u00a0road sign that allows you to set the place to reach and get directions;\u00a0Calls<\/strong>\u00a0(the\u00a0handset<\/strong>\u00a0) to view the calls received and made and make new calls;\u00a0Music<\/strong>\u00a0(the\u00a0headphone<\/strong>\u00a0icon\u00a0) to listen to music through one of the applications that support Android Auto, such as TuneIn, Spotify, Deezer, Google Play Music etc.\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Home<\/strong>(the\u00a0round<\/strong>\u00a0icon\u00a0) which allows you to return to the main screen of Android Auto and to close the application, if in use on the smartphone.<\/p>\n

If you are using Android Auto via the display of your car, you can see a fifth function identified by a\u00a0clock<\/strong>\u00a0icon, which allows you to exit Android Auto and return to the system on board the car.<\/p>\n

In case, if you’re wondering how you can interact with Android Auto, the answers are multiple: you can act via\u00a0touch-screen<\/strong>\u00a0(but if you’re driving, it’s an improper practice);\u00a0if your car supports Android Auto as standard, you can interact via the\u00a0commands installed on the vehicle<\/strong>\u00a0(eg the button to answer and make calls) and you can interact with Android Auto through\u00a0voice commands<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

You can activate the voice function of Android Auto by tapping on the\u00a0microphone<\/strong>\u00a0icon in\u00a0the system\u00a0Home, pressing\u00a0the appropriate button<\/strong>\u00a0on the steering wheel of the car (if present) and giving the\u00a0voice command “Ok Google”<\/strong>\u00a0that will start a white screen with four colored lines in the center.\u00a0The voice command must be followed by the operation you want the system to perform.\u00a0Let’s take some practical examples immediately.<\/p>\n

Do you want to get directions from Android Auto?\u00a0Nothing could be simpler: say\u00a0Ok Google.<\/strong>\u00a0followed by the\u00a0Directions<\/strong>\u00a0command for [destination]<\/strong>, but also\u00a0\u00a0Navigate to [destination]<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Guide to [destination]<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0If you previously set your home or office address on Google Maps, you can ask Android Auto to take you home or work via voice commands\u00a0Take me home<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Navigate to work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With voice commands you can also manage music playback.\u00a0Say\u00a0Ok Google<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Play music<\/strong>\u00a0to start playback of the last track heard or, in the case of TuneIn, the last played radio station.\u00a0If you want to listen to your favorite song, music genre or playlist, you can use the\u00a0Play [song name]<\/strong>,\u00a0Play [artist name]<\/strong>, Play [genre]and\u00a0Play [genre] and Play [Play List Name]<\/strong><\/p>\n

To make a call without picking up the phone, you can use the voice command\u00a0Call <\/strong>followed by the name associated with the contact or phone number.\u00a0Then say\u00a0Ok Google<\/strong>\u00a0to activate voice commands and “sort”\u00a0Call [contact name]<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Call [phone number]<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0If you have more than one phone number (for example, home and work) associated with a contact in your phonebook, before making the phone call Android Auto will ask you which one to call.<\/p>\n

Finally, let’s see how to ask Android Auto to write a text message.\u00a0First say\u00a0Ok Google<\/strong>, followed by the command\u00a0Send a message to [name]<\/strong>\u00a0, then follow the directions of Android Auto and dictate the text of the message you want to send.\u00a0You can “order” to send the message through one of the many messaging applications supported by the system, including WhatsApp, Skype, Messenger and Telegram: the voice command must be of the type\u00a0\u00a0Send a message to [contact name] on [app name]<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you have received a new message, the notification will appear on the Home screen: press on it to start reading the message.\u00a0You can reply with the above procedure, but you can also set an automatic reply that allows you to send a reply message and let the recipient know that you are driving.\u00a0To do this, tap the \u2261 button and press the\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0item, then press the\u00a0Auto Answer<\/strong>\u00a0option\u00a0and type a phrase to be sent automatically while driving.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0section\u00a0you can also manage other parameters:\u00a0Limit Wi-Fi<\/strong>\u00a0to disable Wi-Fi with Android Auto running;\u00a0Connected<\/strong>\u00a0cars to manage cars connected to Android Auto;\u00a0Automatic start<\/strong>\u00a0to establish the Bluetooth devices for which to activate the automatic start of Android Auto;\u00a0Use Bluetooth<\/strong>\u00a0to choose whether to enable Bluetooth with Android Auto in use and\u00a0\u00a0Active screen to choose whether to have the screen always active.\u00a0It’s all really very intuitive.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
