Carter Chevrolet in Okarche, Oklahoma is not your typical automotive dealership. Founded in 1973 by Mr. Carter, their focus was fleet and commercial trucks and equipment. In 2014, we began our journey with offering cars & trucks to the public. We have continued to maintain our small town experience, without adding any Mega Dealer or Big City Gimmicks to the buying process. Just like our slogan says - "Making Friends, Selling Cars, IN THAT ORDER," we believe in putting a higher value on the relationship with our customer, rather than just selling you a vehicle.
Have questions, comments, or suggestions? We're all ears. Give us a call at 405-263-7252, or comment here.
Thanks for watching, and we hope you enjoyed!

Nick, I am sending you a virtual hug. I have had my Honda Pilot for two years and no one could help me get the Android Auto to work in my vehicle. I watched your video and followed every step just as you showed it. Woohoo I can navigate, listen to music and audio books while all the while getting message notifications and phone calls. I am a happy camper because you took the time to figure it out and then share with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@Carterchevroletok]

Hey that is awesome I am glad the video was helpful! It is a great feature and I hope you can enjoy it now!

You are my hero....I've been playing with Android Auto all day with no luck. Thanks again...how simple

[@MaxItUpwithMarta]

I can't believe you only have 2.82K subscribers. You are so professional and detailed in your instructions. thanks. Just subscribed.

[@ganeese]

Thank you so much for this video!! I have an aftermarket stereo that uses Android Auto. The Android Auto stopped working and I could not figure out why. When I plugged my phone into the stereo, the app wouldn't display on my stereo. I uninstalled the app from my phone and used your video step by step to reinstall the app. Now it works!

[@rickhicks2445]

I have been searching for weeks to get this kind of explanation for my new stereo, thanks so much, you made it so easy to understand.

[@Carterchevroletok]

Glad we could help!

[@roythomas7079]

This was such a well done video for Android Auto - Thank you so much!

[@TheColonelJJ]

Thanks! Best quick summary I've seen! Just picked up my 2018 Equinox and my bride is a bit over whelmed by the tech. This will help!

[@Carterchevroletok]

Glad we could help! A lot of our customers asked for a step-by-step tutorial to go over the setup and how to use it and it seems to help. Thanks for watching!

[@mstjazzy8994]

Nicely done you! I can't tell you how much I appreciate not only the information you provided itself, but how well it was presented. I just finished watching a different video for Android Auto, and let me say that your video is head's above and hands down 100 times better the other one. You speak very well. The audio is not rushed and you are easily understood. Your use of singular vs. plural is accurate, and you provide descriptions and details the other video did not. People who don't speak well don't sound as intelligent as those who do which is very important regardless of what others may say. Individuals who speak well are more likely to be hired over someone who doesn't speak accurately or clearly. I found the information I needed as well as additional information that I'm sure will be useful once I pick up my new vehicle. Thank you for a job well done! Cheers!

[@Carterchevroletok]

We appreciate the awesome feedback and we are glad it helped you get a grasp of what Android Auto is and how it works!

I have a 2019 Jeep Compass and an Android Galaxy S6 phone and had no idea this was available for my vehicle........ The manufacturers instruction manual has a chapter on the UCONNECT whatever but it is useless in trying to understand. Your video is brilliant and I have passed it on to a friend who also has a Jeep Compass with no factory installed GPS..............Thanks again! You deserve a promotion..........

[@fouellet1701]

Yeah, the doc on most car nav systems is very sketchy at best! There are lots of hidden features that you hear about on KZbin and elsewhere on the web.

Thank you so very much for showing me how to download and install and to run Android Auto. I use waze to give me directions until someone said I can also use Google Maps. I like both. I will use the Android Auto from now on. Once again, thank you so very much. I Learn alot from this tutorial.

[@MelTinney]

Great instruction video. Content AND production. No shaky cam footage. No ah, er ums. Crystal clear. You deserve an Oscar!

[@SandyDeJong]

Hello Carter, I am an older lady trying to keep up with all the mod cons. I don't yet have a system like you have but looking at getting one not only for safety of using hands free but convenience of not having to pull over to make a call or receive a call as this can be hard to find a safe spot to do so as I don't touch my phone every when driving. For the time being I got a Bluetooth device that I can use for making calls and receiving calls using the stereo CD FM player that is in the car. I don't think this app will work with it but I am going to download it and give it a try. Thank you for this video it is the best I have seen. Oh I can use my spotify app that blew me away. As this was just a cheap device total of $30 AU for the phone holder and the Bluetooth device. Thank you kindly

[@Taos1952]

Great teaching video step by step. This is just what I was looking for. I have navigation on my Impala, but I would have to sign up with OnStar to access the navigation system. I really didn't want to subscribe for that service. Your video took care of my problem. Thank you and hope you have a very good 2020.

[@lisa-marieshy9673]

Nice...I put Lineage OS 14.1 on a Galaxy Tab 3, rooted it, installed mirror.apk and aa.apk and now can perfectly mirror my tablet to my head unit in my 2014 JGC with 2018 Uconnect UAQ. Works great. Wish it worked without root so that I could do it on my phone.

[@Kimberly-ts5fr]

Hey, Carter, very helpful tutorial! I just purchased a new vehicle & salesman was helping me set up android auto. It wasn't working even after repeated attempts and uninstalling/reinstalling app. Turns out I only had a charging cable with me BUT several times during the tutorial you mention using a USB charging cable. I'm only commenting here in case others have the same issue as I did. I now have ONLY a USB data cable in my vehicle so it's all good!! Again, VERY helpful tutorial!

[@Carterchevroletok]

Yes that is a great point and wish we emphasized that more at the time but glad you figured it out!

[@Carterchevroletok]

Glad we could help!

[@kens97sto171]

Nice video.. good instructions. Do want to mention that your phone can do all these things without a Andoid Auto stereo. Just Bluetooth to any old radio And talk to the phone... Thru Bluetooth. For messages...I use an app called Drive mode.. it can read and reply to incoming messages. Just wanted to let people know most of these phone commands work without the car.. Just stick the phone in a mount and use it directly, if you don't have a car with Android auto or apple car play.

[@Carterchevroletok]

Awesome thanks for the tip on that app that will be helpful for those who want similar capabilities for hands-free messaging!

[@lin498]

kens97sto171 That's true, but with Android Auto you enable your car's touchscreen, which is usually larger than many smartphones!

[@PeterRevie]

Around 5:15 you get into some advice about Autolaunch and Use Bluetooth settings that only apply if you are running Android Auto directly on your phone screen (that's why the section name for the settings is Phone Screen Settings) so if you do NOT need to apply those settings.

[@BlairAir]

Also: On the "Charging Hack" - if you have a newish Samsung Phone, you can use Bixby Routines to set the USB port function. You can change it from "USB Tethering, Transfering Files, Transfer Images, Midi, and CHARGING PHONE ONLY" - That last option can be toggled on or off based on any number of conditions, that you set. Look for Bixby Routines and find a tutorial - For Other Makes, LG, Sony, One Plus,etc., You can use the app "Tasker" for these scripted custom uses. This is where Android Phone users get the power user abilities that Apple doesn't cater to with their tendency to "dumb down" the interface and the underlying OS control.

[@downformaintenance]

I am trying to talk my 78 year old mum through this process on the phone and i’m about to go bananas.. your video is useful to help me understand what they are seeing, thanks! :)

[@cobras559]

Hey man good tutorial - thank you as I am a new android auto user. I have a 2019 ZL1 CAMARO and a S9+ phone. I watched your tutorial to a tee and everything is great and everything works as it should except one thing. When I downloaded Pandora from play store I would assume it would just come up on my android auto screen when I click the headphones icon at the bottom of my screen when in the car. However it doesn't show up. Any ideas why?

[@Carterchevroletok]

Has it shown up yet? I figured the next time you started your car and it linked up it would show it

[@flashbak01]

Thanks but, I have installed VLC Player from the android auto compatible applications, but it's not on my list now! How can i use it in Android Auto? I have Spotify and Google play music in my Android Auto but No VLC player!

Great video. Explained in a way even I can understand. I have an issue I can’t seem to find an answer for. After it working perfectly, the volume on my android auto suddenly went very low, how can I adjust the volume back up so I can hear it? Thank you for any help you can give me.

How do you search for addresses while the in Android Auto? Also, my maps on my car screen always disappears or doesn't work half the time. Everything seems to be updated i think. I have a Hyundai. The dealer says they don't do anything related to Android Auto

[@LarryRichelli]

I have had two new cars and I get the same problem with my maps (while I am navigating) just disappears and sometime comes back up or doesn't. Very frustrating

[@marvwhalen7929]

I can not for the life of me get android auto to go wire less I am on a motorcycle and the sun is killing my phone I unplug the phone from the usb and nothing I have read and utube everything just will not work I had it in my pocket one day and it just started work "What the Hell !

[@rfel87]

Can you make an updated video? Which versions where you running for google play and android auto? Cause as of May, 2018 they updated both versions and now I am having issues with my vehicles android auto. I have all the same things clicked on and highlighted. And my vehicle phone projection is set to "enable android auto" and it will not work now when I plug in the USB.

[@Carterchevroletok]

As far as I know, the main upgrade in Android Auto is the ability to now view your entire contact list while at a stop unlike the previous version it was only a simplified version of your phonebook. As far as the new google play update I was not aware of that. I will need to research the differences to see what changes in the steps I would need to touch upon for a new updated how-to video. In the meantime here is a link to Android Auto FAQ's and Troubleshooting: bit.ly/2I7Z4b

[@rfel87]

Carter Chevrolet yeah cause both have released updates. My phone is fairly new. Bought it may of 2017. An LG G6. Ive watched many videos and my car and phone are set up all the same ways as the video and its not showing anything or the android auto button on my screen in the car

[@alvallac2171]

*were "Where" is for location and is pronounced differently.

[@lunablue499]

Thank you for this video, very helpful. When I use google maps for navigation, I like to hear the directions but the voice is too low. How do I increase the volume of the voice on google maps? Thank you.

[@diesel6916]

turn your radio all the way down and when google voice speaks adjust volume then it should stay and your radio can adjust on its own

[@tenohio1959]

The release on the play store has issues. I noticed your version vs mine which doesn't work. It did until google started messing with it and add the driving mode which fires it up on your phone when it connects to bluetooth. Why mess with success? But great video.

[@tomrossiter3984]

Please help/advise!how do i get the stuff back that you had me swipe to the left to remove and show clock only? (eg HOME) and how do I also get WORK back after I hit the X next to it and made it disappear completely even though I have set a WORK address in the settings. thank you!

[@jefferymiller6997]

Very good instructions, thank you! But, what alternatives do I have to get driving directions? I purchased a new a 2018 Chevy Equinox in July 2017. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Lollipop 5.0.1. Also I have OnStar protection plan without a wifi data plan, but I still can get a strong connection with my Equinox wifi. When parked in my driveway in reach of my house wifi and connected to it, all works well as shown in your video. But out of reach of my home wifi and connected to my Equinox wifi, I get a google message after asking google to "find ..." that "I have an unstable connection." When I turn off the wifi and on mobile data, I get " You have a limited network connection and can only make telephone calls."

[@Carterchevroletok]

Hey thank you for watching the video. As for other alternatives other than your current Onstar wifi and current mobile carrier the only other thing I can think of is a handheld GPS system like a Garmin etc. It does not sound like you are doing anything wrong setup wise so no way to diagnose anything there. Out here in Okarche, Ok we have terrible phone service and at times the Onstar wifi is spotty. Maybe contact Onstar and see if they are having connection issues with other members in your area???

[@SwtykosChannel]

Good info well done
