1. Open
Play Store
on your Android
based smartphone.
2. Search for
Android Auto
App and
tap on the icon.
3. Tap the
Install
button. The app will
be downloaded and installed on
your smartphone.
Telephone functions: If the
smartphone is connected via
the USB port and not via
Bluetooth, you will not be able
to use the device as a
handsfree set. In this case,
audio input and output take
place via the speaker and
microphone of your
smartphone. For telephony
features like calling and SMS,
the smartphone needs to be
paired via Bluetooth.
Navigation functions: You can
only use one navigation system
at a time. If you start using
Android Auto navigation on your
smartphone and a route
guidance session is already
active on the device's
navigation system, that active
route guidance session will be
cancelled automatically (and
vice versa).
Audio output: The audio output
of the connected smartphone
(e.g. announcements from a
navigation app) will be audible
at a higher volume, and the
current audio output of the
device (e.g. currently playing
media) will be heard at a lower
volume. When connected via
Android Auto, the Bluetooth®
audio player feature will not be
available; in this case, please
use the Android Auto audio
player instead.
Most features will not work if
you use Android Auto in a
country where it is not currently
available.
You can use Google assistance
to control Android Auto through
voice commands - Internet
connectivity is required for this.
Performance may vary
depending on data connectivity.
NOTE:
i
Android Auto is a feature, which
