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 rec-
ognized, the “Phone” icon on the per -
sonalized menu bar will automatically
change to the Android Auto Icon.
Android Auto should automatically
launch, but if it does not launch auto-
matically, refer to the Uconnect Owner’ s
Manual Supplement for the procedure
to enable the feature “AutoShow”. Y ou
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
