Do you spend a significant amount of time in your vehicle? Do you rely on your smartphone daily for many of its apps and functions? If your answer is “yes” to either of those questions, Android Auto may just be the new technology for you.
Google Connects You To Your Phone While Driving
Google has created a new technology that allows you to continue using many of your Android’s apps in your vehicle while you’re on the road. The best thing about this technology is its safety and convenience, which lets you keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. Google has done an incredible job of pairing the use of your Android phone with the controls in your vehicle to create an easy-to-use system.
Voice Control Of Many Functions
Android Auto does everything through voice control or one tap on the touchscreen. Instead of picking up your phone to read an incoming text message, which will distract you from the road, you can have the message read directly to you. You’ll be able to make and answer phone calls, and send texts and have text messages read to you. You’ll also have access to your calendar and reminders to have upcoming events read to you as you drive. Quick access to your music through voice control will have your favorite song playing through your speakers in seconds. You can even have turn-by-turn directions read to you through GPS, and the weather reported to you so you know how to prepare for the rest of your day.
It’s really as simple as it gets. Additional apps that can be used include Pandora, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Skype and WhatsApp.
Simple One Cable Connection
All you need to begin using Android Auto is an Android using 5.0 or newer, and a new head unit in your vehicle that is compatible with this system. At Extreme Audio, we sell three Pioneer head units (AVH-4200NEX, AVIC-7200NEX and AVIC-8200NEX) that will give you this technology. With one cable, you’ll connect your phone to the receiver and you’ll be set to go!
Each of these three units has a 7” touchscreen display and HD radio tuner. They all come Bluetooth-enabled and compatible with SiriusXM satellite radio.
