Android Auto™ is a feature of your Uconnect
system, and your Android™ 5.0 Lollipop or
higher powered smartphone with a data plan,
that allows you to project your smartphone and
a number of its apps onto the touchscreen radio
display. Android Auto™ automatically brings you
useful information, and organizes it into simple
cards that appear just when they are needed.
Android Auto™ can be used with Google's
best-in-class speech technology, the steering
wheel controls, the knobs and buttons on your
radio faceplate, and the radio display's
touchscreen to control many of your apps. To
use Android Auto™, follow the following
procedure:
1. Download the Android Auto™ app from the
Google Play store on your
Android™-powered smartphone.
2. Connect your Android™-powered
smartphone to one of the media USB ports
in your vehicle. If the Android Auto™ app
was not downloaded, the first time you plug
your device in, the app will begin to
download.
NOTE:
Be sure to use the factory-provided USB cable
that came with your phone, as aftermarket
cables may not work.
3. Once the device is connected and
recognized, the "Phone" icon on the drag &
drop menu bar changes to the Android
Auto™ Icon. Android Auto™ should launch,
but if it does not, refer to "Android Auto™
And Apple CarPlay® Tips And Tricks" in this
section for the procedure to enable the
feature "AutoShow". You can also launch it
by touching the Android Auto™ icon on the
touchscreen.
Once Android Auto™ is up and running on your
Uconnect system, the following features can be
utilized using your smartphone's data plan:
