Connectivity has become a fundamental point in our mobile devices, especially when we get in the car to listen to music, for example. But, thanks to Android Auto, it has become easier than ever to be able to pair our vehicle with a phone.
And not only this, but the fact of using the mobile directly while driving has a fine. So the solution to avoid this is to have this Google app in your car . However, not all vehicles have this possibility first. For this reason, it is time for you to see how you can easily achieve it.
Install Android Auto in your vehicle
Before starting to install it directly in our car, we will have to check the compatibility of our devices to be able to configure it. Well, of course, it will be useless to download it if later they will not have compatibility.
Check that your mobile and car are compatible
Google makes it really easy for us to check whether or not our car is compatible with this tool. We will only have to access this web page and search for our car within the entire list that the American company makes available to us. In addition, it will give us the year of the vehicle and the exact model.
In the case of our mobile device, it will be difficult for it not to be compatible. To do this, we will have to have at least Android 6.0. In addition, it will be essential to have an Internet connection. So most smartphones with the Google operating system will be able to use this software. And of course, Apple mobiles will not be able to count on this possibility.
Download and install it
The second step will be to download and install the Android Auto application on our mobile device. To do this, we will have to go to Google Play and search for the app in question. In the following link you will find this application directly:
Although, if in your case you have a smartphone with Android 10 or higher, it will not be necessary, because it will come standard. In addition, if your car has an infotainment device with Android but does not include Android Auto, we can download it by connecting it to the Internet and get this app through an .APK .
Pair both devices
Afterwards, it will be the turn to pair both devices. For this, it will only be enough to connect our smartphone to the car via USB . And if everything went well, the Google app will launch automatically. So, from that moment on, we can access our music, our contacts and the mobile applications allowed by Android Auto to use in the car. However, we must bear in mind that there will be different applications that we can never use in order to avoid distractions, such as watching apps to watch videos.
