Android Auto

Connect your phone to the car

Android Auto brings selected phone apps and information to a compatible car display, giving drivers a simpler way to use navigation, make calls, handle messages and play audio while on the road. It suits people whose vehicles support Android Auto and who want familiar phone services available through the dashboard rather than reaching for the handset.

Navigation, messages and media

Use supported navigation apps such as Google Maps or Waze for directions and traffic information. Android Auto can also work with messaging and audio apps, so you can listen to music or podcasts and keep up with conversations from the car screen. Voice controls let you ask for directions, place calls or dictate a message, where supported. The available apps and functions depend on your phone, vehicle and the apps you use.

Designed for the drive

The car interface presents key controls in a layout intended for use while driving, with larger on-screen buttons and voice interaction for common tasks. It is not a replacement for paying attention to the road: follow local driving laws, and use voice controls or pull over when a task needs more focus. Compatibility varies, so check that your vehicle and phone support Android Auto before relying on it for a trip.
