Android Auto Complete Tutorial - In Depth

[@pamtodd6586]

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!

For once someone who speaks clearly and slowly enough for me to take notes. Absolutely one of the best explanations I have ever experienced. Thank you for a wonderful job.

[@Carterchevroletok]

Appreciate it John! I am glad I could help and hope you enjoy using it!

[@melondog82]

Finally somebody who actually tells you how to install an work it properly. 👍

[@MelTinney]

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

[@fishingpinky3165]

Thank you I have been searching for 6 months on how to operate this Android auto. Yours is the best on KZbin

[@Carterchevroletok]

Glad we could help!!

[@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!

[@juliawelsh2041]

I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH MY ANDROID AUTO FOR WEEKS! I CANT BELIEVE IT- FINALLLY IT WORKS! I HAVE A SAMSUNGJ7 PHONE AND THE CHEVY DEALER SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME IT WAS MY PHONE AND THAT ANDROID AUTO WONT WORK ON IT ANY LONGER-----THANKS SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

[@Carterchevroletok]

That is awesome we are glad the video helped!

[@clintonholmes4349]

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

[@edithlemus3972]

Apple Car Play vs. Android Auto ... thanks, can't wait to buy mines. ☺️

[@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!

[@chatabugolson1111]

That was Excellent.. Finally someone I can understand that explained everything SO PERFECT 😊 THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH 🙏🏼

[@bobcheckley6802]

The best tutorial on how to set up android auto on Samsung phone and car, well done

[@Carterchevroletok]

Much appreciated!

[@aradlaw]

I have been having trouble using AA in my car. There is some helpful info I will try next time I get to the car. (side note: your video is driving my google clock crazy!)

[@charlesbellino4359]

Dude it's time to plug up your phone and charge it! Your battery 23%! Thanks for the video!

[@tousshong9438]

Thanks! No sure who give you the thumbs down but great job! Instructions works for newbie like me.

[@hazemonster]

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.

[@roythomas7079]

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

[@essen.shelley]

Great video, thank you!)

[@Carterchevroletok]

Welcome!

[@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.

[@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!

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

I just watched this for the first time. Excellent job.

[@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! :)

[@Carterchevroletok]

Glad we could help! We made this video for reasons just like that!

[@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!

[@richardgould4450]

By far the best intro I’ve seen - many thanks!

[@Carterchevroletok]

Appreciate it!

[@slicktenxsix]

Thx. This was perfect enough for a 72 yr old female to get our new system up and running. Love the new Kenwood DNX997XR for our MB CLK 55 AMG. Yes we're old farts that still expect a car to respond when the pedal is pressed. This system brings it all together....

[@carmelitamorales6714]

Thanks so much. I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly, THE FIRST TIME!

[@kathyhuffman7958]

This is the best video I have seen on Android Auto. Thank you!

[@poypoypalaboy1412]

Very clear demo thanks.... Just wondering if you could also demo how to set up and watch videos on the car monitor (of course while parked) thanks

[@Carterchevroletok]

We do not have a video on that currently but I bet you can search your year, make, model on KZbin and see if there is a hack to do that!

[@UrvineSpiegel]

7:50 If you say "Navigate to" instead of "find" the GPS navigation will automatically start up for the most relevant search result, after a 5 second prompt ( like the prompt for delay ahead, or faster route).

[@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!

This is a brilliant instructional setup guide for Android Auto. Clear concise instructions even for beginners. Thanks so much for posting this video...

[@Carterchevroletok]

Welcome! Glad it helped and thank you for watching!

[@sunnyrastin]

Best DIY tutorial video ever👍.

[@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]

Since this was posted, Android Auto has had a ground up redesign (Summer 2019) with a simpler, more logical, and LESS DISTRACTING - anything that reduces your distractions while driving is nothing less than life saving design, which sounds dramatic, and also has the benefit of being true. Touchscreens in general are large, bright interfaces full of interesting items, Unlike molded switches that you can feel for without looking, you must glance at a touch screen to use it, each and every time. They are also bright and reduce your view out the windshield at night. People with poor night vision have issues with slow reaction changes from bright to dark . Remember - All touchscreens can be switched off or greatly dimmed at night.

[@Carterchevroletok]

Great info and yes a nice molded button is always my favorite over touchscreens. I tend to drop by cluster brightness down to the lowest possible at night and it helps to see out the window especially when you have darker window tint like many tend to have here in Oklahoma! Thanks for the post!

[@MrCoalcracker79]

Thank you very much. This video was highly detailed and easy to follow.

[@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.

[@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!

[@amyfisher149]

Great tutorial and highly recommend even if you've already installed Android Auto and want to learn how to change some of the settings

[@dozer911]

Good job! Thank you for your excellent instructions on AA use.

I had a problem where my android auto would connect fine a few times and then sit there trying to connect for ages. I noticed that the wifi on my phone was connecting and disconnecting every few seconds when it wouldn't connect so I cleared all the saved wifi connections on my phone and it has connected fine since then.

Hi guy, very interesting. I have a basic acura rdx 2017. I want to install the Google apps, and I guess it is the same installation . I am going to try . It's there's something different I'll have to do. I'll appreciate your letting me know . Thank you.

[@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

[@wskwong2000]

It was working for me before but now at 6:28 it just won't launch Android auto. and i"ve got the exact same cable as yours too!

[@Carterchevroletok]

Did you ever resolve this? Cables are the biggest issue so just keep trying different data usb cables and see if that helps

[@renatoborges4]

How do I use the appliance's original radio? I would like to use the radio offline from the device and not use the internet from my cell phone.

[@renatoborges4]

I want to use offline radio inside the android auto

[@Carterchevroletok]

Not sure what car you have and if the process is the same but on the Chevy Silverado I did this AA demo on you simply hit the home button on the dash to take you back to the Chevrolet Mylink interface. From there hit the radio icon and tune to your selected station. Android Auto will still be on but you will be using your factory radio for music.Hope this helps.
