Android Auto And Apple CarPlay Tips And Tricks

AutoPlay
AutoPlay is a feature of the Uconnect system that auto-
matically begins playing music off of the connected device,
as soon as it is connected. This feature can be turned on or
off in the Uconnect Settings, within the Audio Settings
category. It's default setting is on.
NOTE: AutoPlay is not supported by Android Auto.
AutoShow
AutoShow is a feature of the Uconnect system that auto-
matically launches and displays Android Auto/Apple Car-
Play when the phone is initially connected to the USB
media port. This feature can be turned on and off in the
Uconnect Settings, within the Display Settings category.
The default setting is on.
Android Auto Automatic Bluetooth Pairing
After connecting to Android Auto for the first time and
undergoing the setup procedure, the smartphone will
automatically pair to the Uconnect system via Bluetooth
without any setup required every time it is within range, if
Bluetooth is turned on.
NOTE: Android Auto features cannot be used with
Bluetooth, a USB connection is required for its use.
Android Auto uses both Bluetooth and USB connections to
function, and the connected device will be unavailable to
other devices when connected using Android Auto.
Multiple Devices Connecting To The Uconnect System
It is possible to have multiple devices connected to the
Uconnect system. For example, if using Android Auto/
Apple CarPlay, the connected device will be the one that
will be used to place hands-free phone calls or send
hands-free text messages. However, another device can
also be paired to the Uconnect system, via Bluetooth, as an
audio source, so the passenger can stream music.
NOTE:
• If using a Samsung device, every time it is connected to
a media USB, and there is another device plugged in,
you will need to manually change the configuration of
the USB connection in order for the Samsung device to
send data.
• The Uconnect 4 native media functions will be unavail-
able when Android Auto/Apple CarPlay are in use.
