Hi I just found your channel. Bare with me while I explain myself, Ok I am 55yrs of age and I drove a certain car for 21yrs (I'm conservative lol) it had none of this stuff in it so I didnt know ANYTHING about it. I just purchased a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I'm having to learn everything about these new vehicles. My question is when I hook up the Android auto How do I get FREE music apps on my phone? When I try to listen to music with a command it tells me I must have KZbin music and I dont want it. I'm just so out of touch with this modern technology that my Jeep will be paid for before I learn how it all works!!! 😂😁😁❤ I do have Spotify but that's it and I want to be able to give a command and say Play Bob Marley Stir it up, etc. Can I do that with Android auto?? LOL

[@carsunlocked]

@@Gena777-r95 yes you can but you need to select Spotify as your default music app as oppose to youtube music. that way when you say the command it uses spotify

The phone i have (android active 8) used to work just fine with the android auto app but i believe i messed something up in my phones' settings, not through the android auto apps settings only because i have uninstalled / reinstalled the app several times and still does the same exact thing, it only shows up on my phone not my car. Iv used someone else's phone and it works fine,. So what its doing is it looks like the drivers assistance is on the phone also the do not disturb is on and keeps turning back on when i go to turn it off, also in the apps settings its not registering my car, but the bluetooth works just fine. Also in the beginning of the app it doesnt say to put my car into park to begin like it does on the other phone. I do remember one night i was playing on the phones settings and it stopped working after that. I do not want to do a factory reset because i always end up loosing something on here but that is the only thing i can think of to get it working, hopefully you or someone on here can tell me how to get this thing to work

I only listen to Pandora and when I go to apps, it shows on the screen but when I touch it it disappears. It plays Pandora automatically once it connects with my phone Not sure why it only sees that app. With that said, I'm not sure if using this app will make a big difference in my life.

You always need to be connected yes

I hate that Toyota refuses to support Android Auto and their Entunes system isn't as good. Toyota makes you use Scout GPS for navigation. On Toyota's Entune system you can plug your phone in via bluetooth to stream music, texting and make calls as well, but no Google software.

All Toyotas will have Android Auto available in 2020. Seems they finally woke up to the fact that 80% of the world's cellphones use the Android OS. Really difficult to understand this omission coming from a smart company like Toyota.

Can you connect via BT instead of usb?

[@carsunlocked]

no need wire

I read my car manual on connecting Android Auto and it said use a cable to connect the phone nothing happened. 3 years later I am trading the car in and the dealer said connect it with a cable. Nowhere does it say to download the app but thanks to you that may solve the issue

[@carsunlocked]

Well u obviously need you download the app lol

They've updated how it looks now. Much better than it was. 2 things I have a problem with android auto. 1 when sending a text and mind you this is probably the 4th way its done it. I get a half sec of what is on the radio each time it goes through the cycles of sending a message. The 2nd one is when I connect my phone to my truck whatever was playing the last time (spotify, my music etc.) that automatically starts up again.

[@carsunlocked]

You probably have to shut down ur music apps before you unplug it phone

[@jerrygelder8373]

@@carsunlocked shut down how? I stop the podcast or music but it will start up again next time I hook it up.

[@carsunlocked]

@@jerrygelder8373 strange that's what I meant stop the playback before you shut down

[@jerrygelder8373]

@@carsunlocked I'll try that.

I have a 2017 Tacoma with Entune radio how can I set up Android auto

[@carsunlocked]

Your toyota is not equipped with Android auto

[@edjun22]

Google maps automatically opens up when i connect my phone to it. How can i change what app opens up when i connect to android auto?

[@carsunlocked]

It opens your most recent app

[@woodward_alan]

Does the app use stored data or is it constantly downloading from mobile data? Usually Google maps works in an offline mode where maps download from my driveway via wifi before I travel.

[@carsunlocked]

it uses your data but you can download the map before you go to use it offline

[@JVCPhotography]

Are u plugging it in with a wire ? If so which wire exactly. Thanks I’m using this system on my wrangler.

[@carsunlocked]

You have to plug it in with your USB cable. Preferably the one that came with your phone

[@JVCPhotography]

Cars Unlocked ok thanks. I’ll buy 1 ✌🏼😄
