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 smartphone and a
number of its apps onto the touchscreen radio
display. Android Auto automatically 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 smartphone
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 aftermarket
cables may not work.
3. Once the device is connected and recog-
nized, the “Phone” icon on the personalized
menu bar will automatically change to the
Android Auto Icon. Android Auto should auto-
matically launch, but if it does not launch auto-
matically, refer to “Android Auto And Apple Car-
Play Tips And Tricks” in this section 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
communication
•
Hundred of compatible apps
NOTE: To use Android Auto, make sure you are
in an area with cellular coverage. Android Auto
may use cellular data and your cellular coverage
is shown in the upper right corner of the radio
screen.
