Cars with Android Auto™

An important part of driving on today’s roads is remaining connected at all times. To help you with that, cars are equipped with infotainment systems that keep you informed with Bluetooth® and available navigation. However, to enhance your infotainment experience, drivers can also make use of the available Android Auto™ app.

At Andy Mohr Automotive, we aim to keep Indianapolis, Plainfield, and Bloomington drivers well-informed about the latest car technology. If you want to learn more about this helpful app, keep reading this comprehensive guide on how it can help you every day.

What is Android Auto™

Android Auto™ is an available app you can download on your phone that adds extra functionality to your car’s infotainment system. Where normally your car would give you a standard Bluetooth® connection, Android Auto™ gives you access to features only your phone can provide.

Probably the most important features among these is the ability to make calls and send hands-free texts without having to pull your phone out at all. This available function allows you to easily keep in touch with people as you drive. It also allows you to stay informed, so you don’t miss important calls and texts that you’d otherwise have to ignore.

Entertainment is also enhanced through the use of this system, as Android Auto™ allows easy access to all your favorite podcasts and music-streaming apps. These apps will appear on your infotainment screen, allowing you to change songs and open apps without using your phone.

Finally, this app provides drivers with the ability to make use of navigation functions from their infotainment screen. If your car doesn’t come with a built-in navigation system, you can connect your phone to your car and make use of a centrally located turn-by-turn direction feature.

Available Voice Recognition

In order to further enhance your convenience when using your infotainment screen on the road, Android Auto™ can allow you to use your Google Assistant as well. Simply make use of your car’s available microphone button or say, “OK Google,” and you’ll be able to utilize voice commands on the fly.

How to Connect Your Phone Using Android Auto™

Connecting your phone to your car using this app is very simple. First, you need to make sure that both your car and your phone are equipped to operate Android Auto™. Any phone with Android Lollipop or Android Marshmallow and above can use this app. After that, consult your car’s user manual to see if its infotainment can run this app.

When you know your phone and car are properly equipped, download the Android Auto™ app. You’ll then need to connect your phone to a USB port within your car with a USB cable. Once this is done, open the app on your phone and begin configuring it for use with your infotainment screen.
