You will never forget to turn on Android Auto with this trick

How many times have we gotten into the car, we have put on our seat belts and we have started to travel kilometers, so that at the worst moment someone sends us a message, makes a call or we need to put the GPS. This forces us to stop when we can in a safe place to make the Android Auto connection, because we forgot when we left home.

However, this problem is a thing of the past if we rely on an option that your mobile has and you did not know about. In recent times the evolution of Android Auto has been gigantic, ceasing to be an extra of the system or even an app, to fully integrate with Google Maps and in turn facilitate the use of the mobile phone with the car with advantages such as the one we pass you to show.

Your mobile and your car merge

To allow both to connect automatically and Android to start working, we have to be clear that we require the option that turns on the driving mode automatically. We will be able to choose this with the following steps:

  • We enter Google Maps.
  • We start a journey, although we do not move from the sofa.
  • Then we click on the 4 squares at the bottom.
  • We enter Configuration.
  • We mark the option Start driving mode.

This however does not work by magic and requires that the Bluetooth is activated and previously have been linked to the car in order to recognize it. If our car supports wireless Android Auto, we just have to turn Bluetooth on and we will see it on the dashboard screen. On the other hand, if you need a cable, we will have it at least on the mobile screen always with an accessory that allows us to see the mobile while driving and the cart without problems.

Android 12 makes it easy for us

For those who have the advantage of already enjoying Android 12, there is one more option that will come in handy to avoid having to worry about anything. Even with the mobile’s Bluetooth turned off, the smartphone is able to recognize that we are traveling by car and start it together with the car’s engine, thus we will save this small detail from being overlooked.

To do this, we have to go into Settings> Connected devices and in connection preferences choose the Driving mode. In this menu we choose to activate automatically, so that the system activates the Bluetooth whenever it detects the movements linked to the car. This is achieved through artificial intelligence and available sensors, in the same way that, for example, it is able to recognize when we are walking.
