Android Auto
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 smart-
phone and a number of its apps onto the
touchscreen radio display. Android Auto au-
tomatically 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 smart-
phone 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 after-
market cables may not work.
3. Once the device is connected and recog-
nized, the “Phone” icon on the personal-
ized menu bar will automatically change
to the Android Auto Icon. Android Auto
should automatically launch, but if it does
not launch automatically, refer to the
Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement
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 radio, the following features can be
utilized using your smartphone’s data plan:
• Google Maps for navigation
• Google Play Music, Spotify, iHeart Radio,
etc. for music
• Handsfree Calling, and Texting for com-
munication
• Hundred of compatible apps
