I have a new 2025 sxe and cannot see or understand how to change my wallpaper to mimic my phone. It simply isn't an option. I really wish I could do that. I learned so much from your video. Thank you.

Thank you so much!! Finally, someone just breaks it down surgically!

Having had my car for 11 months, I am ready to delve deeper into functions. Good video.

Just came across your channel but love to see content creators from the local area. Great video too! New sub for sure.

This guy is solid, great reviews so far. Got my subscribe.

Thanks for the great info. Cleared up a lot of the settings toggles for me.

For the voice assistant, it's vehicle manufactuer specific. On the Fords I've had, a simple tap when Android Auto is enabled will activate the Google Assistant. Same on my Alfa. On GM, it's a simple tap for the GM system, long press for Google Assistant.

I have wired Android Auto and over a year ago bought an Android Auto Wireless Dongle. Haven't been happier. Your video was fantastic and informative. However, I am disappointed. I have been trying to find a video that explains how to use Google Assistant in Waze to report traffic and hazards. I am looking for the totally hands free experience. Since you did such an amazing job with this video, I would hope that you are up for the challenge of making another video explaining Google Assistant reporting hazards hands free. Thanks

Its working with my android auto

[@antandshell]

Awesome tutorial 👍 ❤ Thank you 🎉

[@SteveW-q7i]

Thank you for the time and effort you put into making this video. I was just curious is there any videos that can help me improve the sound quality of Android to my vehicle through Bluetooth short of buying all new music? I have an s24 plus that can achieve LDAC codec in my headphones but not in my car? Anyway can't wait to hear some thoughts on this thank you 🖖

[@oiedave]

4:53 i tought i was the only one with that case.. i hate when that happens specially if you are driving/listening music.. do you know why that happens or how to prevent it?? 🤔🤔🤔

[@Stevelarge1]

Hi from BC Canada, I noticed that you have the speed limit displayed on your screen in certain situations. Is this a default or accessible feature of Android Auto or is it supplied for you by a separate app? My reason for asking is that I am thinking of buying an app which does this but if the feature is in Android Auto somewhere maybe I can save myself subscription fees if it is built in. Could not readily find it in my version of Android Auto. Thanks, Steve

[@Miss_Chick]

How can I navigate from Waze to all sources? I want to toggle through FM, AM, and Sirius. Thank you! 😊

[@ArturOleszczuk1991]

still can't make text messages notifications to work on android auto. Pixel 6, it's completely not existent when someone is texting message, no matter if its sms, facebook or whatsapp, nothing shows up. music app is crippled, maps are weird with useless waste of space and what really matters - directions and overall space orientation is cluttered. Android Auto needs some ground up redesign and fix bugs of BASIC things like messages that are not working for most people.

[@gevorkdzhabroyan8075]

Hi there great content and very informative. I am having issues with my android auto and wanted to see if by chance it has happened to you. Once connected, not always but majority of the time I am unable to control the volume to my audio. I get a message on the screen that days audio freeze. Can anyone help very annoying

[@RedPanda_00806]

Why is not KZbin music at full screen as does on Apple Carplay? 🙄🙄

[@cesargarcia386]

What version of android auto are u on?

[@chuckrichardson83]

If it's got decent features he's probably on one of the oldest ones in the book and just never updated it I'm using the 12.5 beta update of Android auto right now and it is absolutely trash like Beyond trash it has gotten worse there is less customization than there ever was before and it works maybe about 40% of the time and this is on a over $1,000 name brand infotainment system I'm trying to car play an Android auto it to... Sundar and his retarded alphabet crew ruined yet one more Google app not in a small time will probably wind up in the Google graveyard just like every other app that this guy was involved in and the alphabet Department off Google. It's also pretty ironic that they call that department alphabet considering the fact that they hire a bunch of Dei people and we refer to those kind of people as the alphabet Mafia and as we all know the alphabet Mafia has pretty much ruined everything that they've gotten their hands on and look at what's happening to Android auto it's becoming a disaster why because alphabet runs it and the leader of alphabet is one of the world's biggest Dei hires of them all a bigger Dei higher than the Dei higher that just let Trump get shot in the ear

[@untcodegeek]

The fact you can't make your media full screen like maps is really annoying for Android Auto. Any tips to make media full screen that I am missing? For example, make Spotify full screen w/o maps being displayed next to it.

[@asiandrmr]

@untcodegeek you should be able to just tap on the Spotify screen, when it's sharing the screen with maps, and it should expand to full screen. At least that how it works in my after market unit and my brother's Rav4 unit. Hopefully this works for you as well.

[@garyrds]

I have a new Galaxy S24 Ultra and a 2023 Audi. Definitely not outdated. I can't figure out how to remove or add apps for Android Auto. It has a limited list. I want to add Waze and My Radar Weather but can't seem to do it. I also want to totally remove the News Apps showing on the Audi screen. I have zero use for those!

[@vimalramachandran]

Very good points.

[@DjangoGroen]

It seems kinda laggy compared to Apple CarPlay. Wich sucks because I maybe gonna switch from iPhone to Samsung on my next phone

[@chuckrichardson83]

And it doesn't matter if you bought a $200 one off of Amazon or you bought an over 1,000 name brand one like I did they are all the same they are nothing more than a basic bottom of the line touch screen tablet what's a 10-year-old operating system baked in them. You will have much more benefits just using your phone and nothing more almost anything that you need anymore is in the palm of your hand in your phone you don't need a separate screen to screen share your phone to just to be able to listen to music and look at directions because that's all an infotainment system and Android auto are they are a screen share that takes things from your phone that it decides is safe and places it onto the secondary screen

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

​@@chuckrichardson83so all units have Lollipop or older? I'm not with you there.

[@chuckrichardson83]

@bennylloyd-willner9667 no most will only start at lollipop as that's when Android auto was introduced.. my current info tournament system is an Android 13 but that doesn't make a lick a difference that's like trying to put Windows 11 on a computer that was made for Windows 98... yes it will install on there yes it will run but it's going to run extremely shity because the software was not made to be ran with the hardware. This is why all the bugs and the glitches and the nonsense comes in with all these infotainment systems. And as I previously stated above they're really only used to screen share with Google allows onto a secondary screen so you can do things that you could basically do what an Android phone nowadays. The operating system isn't necessarily 10 years old but the tablets are and in fact they have been replaced with a different operating system that will not even allow you to go in and see these things I had to rig mine up to a computer and do some searching and hunting around within its system files to find out just how old and shity the things are that they're actually selling you they have literally put blocks on everything system related so that you cannot see the absolute trash that you have just purchased.... not one even though they are all ran by Android will allow you to go into the basic Android settings to look and see what this is what it's running so on and so forth because if they released that information you probably wouldn't purchase it because you'd realize that an Android phone from 3 years ago still has more power in it than these in fact a Blackberry priv if you're familiar with what that phone was has more power than a modern-day infotainment system

I like Android Auto because it shows detail turns on my HUD on my windshield.

I want the notification to come in but I don’t want it to read it or even display the message itself. Just wanna know I got a message and from who it is. Better for privacy if I have a passenger

[@chuckrichardson83]

Android auto won't even let you connect your headphones so that you can have these things play in your own ear while I say your passengers are sleeping in the car so you can't even pop in one headphone for your voice calls or listening because well Sundar and Google

[@mrmiddleton]

@DjangoGroen there's a setting you can change in the BMW so that exact thing will happen only when you have a passenger.
