Connect your Android phone and start Android Auto
Note
Make sure your phone has at least Android 9.0 and an active internet connection
To be able to use Android Auto, you need to have Android 9.0 or higher installed on your phone and an active internet connection.
Connect your Android phone to the vehicle via Bluetooth and activate Android Auto. If you are using Android Auto for the first time, you need to accept the terms and conditions in the center display. Android Auto will then start. If you have used Android Auto before, it will automatically start when you connect your phone to the vehicle.
Android Auto view
You can access the Android Auto view by opening the Android Auto app in the app library. If the Android Auto symbol
is shown in the contextual bar, you can also access the view by pressing this symbol.
Once active, the Android Auto view takes up the entire the center display. However, the bottom bar, contextual bar and status bar will still be visible at all times if you want to return to the vehicle's own system.
Navigation with Android Auto
You can use navigation apps on your phone via Android Auto. If you start a navigation route via Android Auto, you can see the guidance in the center display's Android Auto view as well as in the instrument panel. If you are following a navigation route in the vehicle's own navigation app and then start another navigation route in Android Auto, the instrument panel navigation for the vehicle's own app will end.
Using Google Gemini
You can talk naturally to Google Gemini on Android Auto to carry out tasks, find information, and plan your drive with your voice, allowing you to keep your focus on driving. To use Gemini, just say "Hey Google" or press and hold the voice control button
on the steering wheel while Android Auto is active.
You can use Google Gemini to carry out tasks such as sending messages, getting directions, and controlling media. You can also have more conversational interactions and use Gemini to brainstorm and take notes.
