Q: My vehicle supports Android Auto, but Android Auto is currently not available in my country. When available,
what would I need to do to use Android Auto in my vehicle?
A: It's simple. Download the Android Auto app on your Android phone from Google Play and connect it to the
infotainment system with a USB cable. There is no service update of your vehicle required.
Q: My vehicle is equipped with an older infotainment system that is not compatible with Android Auto. Can I
update my vehicle's infotainment system and make it compatible with Android Auto?
A: For model year 2016 Navi 900 / Touch R700 IntelliLink a software update is available as of May 2016 that adds
compatibility with Android Auto. Please contact your dealer for further information. Compatibility with Android
Auto cannot be added to other infotainment systems.
Q: Is there a cost for Android Auto?
A: Compatibility with Android Auto is a functionality of the embedded IntelliLink infotainment system and is not a
separate feature, so it carries no additional cost. Some apps that you access in the vehicle through the compatible
phone may enable in-app purchases or use your phone's data, which could impose additional costs, especially
when roaming. These include music streaming apps and navigation apps, for example. If your vehicle is equipped
with an OnStar ® 4G LTE with available Wi-Fi hotspot (not available in all markets), you can connect your
compatible phone and use the vehicle's data plan.
Q: How can I easily identify whether or not my vehicle's infotainment system is compatible with Android Auto?
A: If your vehicle's infotainment system is compatible with Android Auto, a "PROJECTION" icon is shown on the
home screen of the infotainment system.
Q: How do I get started with Android Auto?
A: First, make sure you have the latest available Android operating system installed on your phone. Also, check if
your Android phone supports Android Auto and if Android Auto is available in your country. To use Android Auto,
follow these steps:
1. Download and install the Android Auto app from Google Play on your phone.
2. Connect your phone to the infotainment system with a USB cable. For best performance, use your phone's
factory-provided USB cable.
3. On your phone, configure Android Auto to access necessary phone functions.
4. If Android Auto does not start automatically, press on the Android Auto icon on the home screen of the
infotainment system.
Please note that some functions of Android Auto, like music streaming or talk to Google, might require a 3G or 4G
Internet connection.
Q: Can I use Google Maps with Android Auto in my car without an Internet connection (e.g. when travelling
abroad)?
A: Yes, you can use the Google Maps feature "Offline Areas" with Android Auto. To download an offline area on
your smartphone, first connect your smartphone with a Wi-Fi network. Then, open the Google Maps app on your
smartphone, enter the Google Maps menu and select "Offline Areas". Download one or more offline areas. Your
offline areas will be available for navigation using Google Maps even without an Internet connection.
