About Android Auto

Android Auto is a driving companion app that mirrors essential phone apps on your car display.

Android Auto helps you drive with confidence by bringing navigation, communication, and entertainment into a clean interface made for the road. It uses large buttons, clear text, and voice control so you can keep your attention on driving. You can connect your phone with a USB cable or wirelessly when supported, and your car display becomes the hub for directions, calls, messages, and music. It works with many vehicle models and aftermarket head units. Therefore, it fits easily into everyday commutes and long trips without changing how you already use your favorite apps.

Android Auto gives you turn-by-turn directions with Google Maps or Waze, along with live traffic, lane guidance, and hazard alerts. You can see the route clearly and adjust it by voice as conditions change.

Reply and catch up by voice
