What Is Android Auto?

What Is Android Auto?

A vehicle's infotainment system has gained status from a novel amenity to a selling feature to many consumers. With Americans spending more and more time in their vehicles and with their smart phones, it's only natural that there would be a convergence in technologies. Smart phones themselves have become almost a necessity, with few people reveling in the times before GPS and music apps. With Android proving to be the dominant software platform, it's only natural that a native infotainment software environment would arise to improve the experience. We at Sold Business in , find this technology particularly interesting, as it directly affects our customers!

Much like Apple's CarPlay, Android Auto synchronizes with the corresponding software of your smartphone to provide a much deeper experience than other infotainment systems. Android Auto connects with not only built-in android apps, but many third party ones as well. For now you need to use a USB cable to connect, but Android Auto wireless has begun to roll out. 

Once Android Auto is connected from the phone to the vehicle, you have multiple options for connectivity for each activity. For navigation, you can use Google Maps or Waze.

For communication, you can use the phone's native dialer and texting or WhatsApp, Kik Messenger, Telegram, WeChat, or Hangouts. For entertainment you have Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Audible, NPR One, Google Play Music, and the MLB app. All of these are viewed and controlled via the infotainment system's touchscreen and controlled on the panel or steering wheel. 

Long car trips can be boring, but in this age we have a lot of options to alleviate this. Whether it be listening to music, audio books, sports, or your loved ones via text or voice, Android Auto has options that will appeal to almost any driver.
