Android Auto and Samsung Galaxy S20

With Android Auto, drivers don't have to take their hands off the steering wheel to touch their Samsung Galaxy S20. He can take control of the car's display by reconstructing the screen and placing all the information he needs in front of him.

WHY USE ANDROID AUTO?

Launched in May 2015, Android Auto has become one of the most popular systems for drivers with an Android device, and it's no coincidence. Note that 400 vehicle models are equipped with this solution developed by Google.

Android Auto's interface is very attractive. It fits perfectly with touch screens, as well as with some vehicles equipped with a non-touch screen with a remote pointing device.

Android Auto integrates a voice assistant that allows you to command aloud the main functions available. It is called Google Now. In addition to its features, the system includes dozens of apps: Deezer, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, TuneIn Radio, Music by Sony, Waze, Google Maps, WeChat, Kik, Spotify, etc.

GALAXY S20 SUPPORTS ANDROID AUTO WIRELESS

The Samsung Galaxy S20 supports Android Auto wireless. In other words, the smartphone automatically connects with the vehicle and Android Auto is displayed on the screen as soon as the driver gets in the car. There is no need to use a USB-C cable anymore. This option is likely to appeal to many drivers, especially those who hate cables.

Note that using Android Auto in wireless mode consumes energy. For drivers who are used to making long trips, the risk of arriving at their destination with a nearly dead phone is very present.

CONNECT GALAXY S20 TO YOUR CAR

Before connecting your Samsung Galaxy S20, don't forget to check if your vehicle is compatible with Android Auto. Make sure Android Auto is enabled. If there are any problems, simply consult the vehicle manual or contact the manufacturer.

Sometimes Android Auto may not work, even in vehicles supported by this technology. In this case, simply update the entertainment info system. If the problem persists, contact your local dealer!

On the smartphone side, it is essential to download Android Auto if the smartphone is running Android 9 or earlier. If the Samsung Galaxy S20 runs Android 10, there is no need to download it.
