Android Auto™ is a feature of your Uconnect system that requires an Android™ 5.0 or higher smartphone with a data plan, and allows you to project your smartphone and a number of its apps onto the radio touchscreen. Android Auto™ provides useful information and organizes it in simple cards that appear only when needed. Android Auto™ can be used with voice technology, steering wheel controls, the radio faceplate knobs and buttons, and the radio touchscreen to control many of your apps. To use Android Auto™, follow these steps:

NOTE:

Feature availability depends on your wireless carrier and mobile phone manufacturer. Some Android Auto™ features may or may not be available in every region and/or language.

  1. Download the Android Auto™ app from the Google Play Store to your Android™ smartphone.
  2. Connect your Android™ smartphone to one of the media USB ports in your vehicle. If the Android Auto™ app has not been downloaded, the device will begin the download when first connected. Your vehicle must be in PARK when using the app for the first time.

    NOTE:

    Be sure to use the USB cable supplied with the phone, as aftermarket cables may not work.
