Android Auto APP Setup
Before use, download the Android Auto
application to your smartphone from
Google Play Store.
The application is compatible with
Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and later versions.
Starting from Android version 10
and higher, the Android Auto app is
integrated into the operating system of
the smartphone and no downloading is
required.
On the first connection, you will have
to perform the setup procedure that
appears on the smartphone. You can
only perform this procedure with the car
stationary.
Once connected to the USB port, the
Android Auto application establishes a
parallel Bluetooth® connection.
Wireless mode
You can use Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto in Wireless mode, without the need
to connect your smartphone to the USB
port.
To configure this mode, follow the
procedure for pairing a Bluetooth®
device. If successfully completed and
the Alfa Connected device supports
Wireless mode, confirm that it starts on
the message shown on your smartphone
Alfa Connect system display.
On subsequent connections, Wireless
mode is available automatically. If a
Bluetooth® pairing is cancelled, the
pairing procedure must be repeated on
the "Device Manager" menu.
NOTE The use of multiple wireless
functions on the smartphone at the same
time (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and
wireless charging), as indicated by the
smartphone manufacturers, could cause
it to overheat, resulting in a limitation of
the active functions or its turning off. In
this case, it is recommended to connect
the system using the USB socket.

After the setup procedure, on connecting
your smartphone to the car's USB port,
the application will run automatically on
the Alfa Connect system.
