What is Android Auto?
Android Auto was designed by Google to put Google Applications a home on new touchscreen devices installed in most modern vehicles. Chevy has dozens of cars that feature Android Auto and allow you to plug your phone into the dash via USB. Whether your car came with a 7" or 8" touchscreen, if Android Auto is on there (it should be via Chevy MyLink), you're going to be able to hook your phone up to your dash and have instant access to select Google Applications. The question on your mind is HOW to do this? There's a simple step-by-step process you can follow to get your new vehicle going with Android Auto. We'll go through this step by step process and then invite you to contact us for more information. Because of the limited space here, we can't tell you EVERYTHING that is offered with Android Auto, but we can give you a great start.
How to Use Android Auto in your Chevy
Your smartphone must be compatible with Android Auto, so make sure you first check to see if you have a compatible smartphone. If you do, follow these simple directions:
- Download the Android Auto application on your smartphone. Make sure that it's completely installed!
- Plug your compatible smartphone into the Chevrolet MyLink USB port. That gets you connected and hooked up to your dash.
- Get ready for some fun! You know have a vehicle link to all of your Google contacts, maps, information, and much more (more on that in a moment). The most important thing to remember is that you MUST download the Android Auto app to your PHONE before you connect to the USB port and get hooked up on your dash.
Once you've got everything hooked up, you're in for a real treat. You'll have dash access to your Google Maps, apps, and contacts, giving you a connection to your phone on an easier to read 7" or 8" dash screen, a perfect union and something that is going to make every journey out on the road something special. In the old days, you had to use the apps on your phone AWAY from the phone, but with recent bursts in technology, you've got your phone hooked up and accessible through your touchscreen dash. It makes driving and navigating the world more straightforward, and in some instances, you'll even be able to give voice commands, which all depends on the model of your vehicle and what features you purchased with it when you bought your car. Android Auto comes in SUVs, cars, AND pickup trucks, so you're never limited in the ways you can stay hooked up and connected while you're on the go.
