Tips for using Android Auto*

Updated 2020-03-19

Here are some useful tips for when you use Android Auto.

Ensure that your apps are updated.
When starting the vehicle, wait until the center display has started, connect the device and then open Android Auto from the app view.
In the event of problems with Android Auto, unplug your Android device from the USB port and then plug it in again. Otherwise, try closing the app on the device and then restarting the app.
When a device is connected to Android Auto it is still possible to play media via Bluetooth to another media player. The Bluetooth function is on when Android Auto is used.
If the Android Auto icon is grayed out, it means that a device is no longer connected. When you connect your device, the icon will light up. If there is no icon at all, the vehicle does not support connecting a device for this purpose.
If the device is connected to the vehicle through Bluetooth, the connection will be broken when Android Auto is used. Resume Internet connection in the vehicle by tethering using the device's Wi-Fi hotspot.
A maximum of 20 Android devices can be stored at the same time, which may be worth noting if many people share the vehicle, e.g. in a car pool. When the list is full and a new device is connected, the oldest one will be deleted. A factory reset must be performed to delete the list.
