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 touch-
screen 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 aftermarket
cables may not work.

the procedure to enable the feature “Auto-
Show”. You can also launch it by touching

utilized using your smartphone’s data plan:
