Tips for using Android Auto

*

Here are some useful tips for using Android
Auto.

•

Ensure that your apps are updated.

•

When starting the car, wait until the cen-
tre display has started, connect the device
and then open Android Auto from the app
view.

•

In the event of problems with Android
Auto, disconnect your Android device from
the USB port and then reconnect via USB.
Otherwise, try closing the app on the
device and then restarting the app.

•

When a device is connected to Android
Auto it is still possible to playback media
via Bluetooth to another media player. The
Bluetooth function is on when Android
Auto is used.

•

If the icon for Android Auto is greyed out,
this means no device is connected. When
you connect your device the icon will be
illuminated. If the icon is not visible at all
then the car does not have support for
connecting a device for this purpose.

•

If the device is connected to the car via
Bluetooth, the connection will be interrup-
ted when Android Auto is used. Resume
the Internet connection in the car by shar-
ing the Internet via the Wi-Fi hotspot from
the device.

•

If the car is shared by a lot of people, such
as in a car pool, it is worth noting that a
maximum of 20 Android devices can be
stored simultaneously. When the list is full
and a new device is connected the oldest
one is deleted. A factory reset has to be
performed in order to clear the list.

Phone

A phone with Bluetooth can be connected
wirelessly to the car's built-in hands-free sys-
tem.

The audio and media system acts as hands-
free, with the facility to remotely control a
selection of the phone's functions. The phone
can still be operated with its own keys even if
it is connected to the car.

When a phone has been connected online and
connected with the car, it can be used make
calls, send/receive messages, play back media
wirelessly and be used as an Internet connec-
tion.

The phone is operated from the centre display,
but also via voice recognition and the app
menu, which are accessed from the right-hand
steering wheel keypad.

by sharing your phone's Internet access and
access several online services in the car.

ering and that this function is activated.
On an iPhone, this function is known as
"tethering". On Android phones, this func-
tion may have different names but is fre-
quently known as "hotspot". For iPhones,
the menu page "tethering" must also be
open until the Internet connection has
been established.

Connect the car to the Internet via

a phone (Wi-Fi)

Create an Internet connection via Wi-Fi by
tethering your phone and access online servi-
ces in the car.

1. Make sure that your phone supports teth-

ering and that this function is activated.
On an iPhone, this function is known as
"tethering". On Android phones, this func-
tion may have different names but is fre-
quently known as "hotspot". For iPhones,
the menu page "tethering" must also be
open until the Internet connection has
been established.

2. Press 

Settings

 in the top view.

3. Continue to 

Communication

Wi-Fi

.

4. Activate/deactivate by ticking/unticking

the box for Wi-Fi.

5. If another connection source has been

used, confirm the option to change con-
nection.

6. Tap on the network name of the network

to be connected.

7. Enter the network password.

> The car connects to the network.

Note that certain phones switch off tethering
after the contact with the car has been discon-
nected, e.g. when leaving the car and until the
next time it is used. The tethering in the phone

therefore needs to be reactivated the next
time it is used.

When a phone is connected to the car, it is
saved for future use. To show a list of saved
networks or manually delete saved networks,
go to

The telephone and network provider must

NOTE

Note that the SIM card used for Internet
connection via P-SIM cannot have the
same telephone number as the SIM card
that the phone uses. If this is disregarded,
it will not be possible to route calls cor-
rectly to the telephone. Therefore, use a
SIM card with a separate telephone num-
ber for the Internet connection, or a data
card that does not handle telephone calls
and is therefore unable to disrupt the func-
tion of the telephone.

No or poor Internet connection

Factors that affect the Internet connection.

The amount of data transferred is dependent
on the services or apps in use in the car. For
example, streaming audio can require large
amounts of data which requires a good con-
nection and good signal strength.

Phone to car

The speed of the Internet connection may vary
depending on the location of the phone in the
car. Move the phone closer to the centre dis-
play in order to increase the signal strength.
Ensure that there is no source of interference
in between.

Phone to network operator

The speed of the mobile network varies
depending on the coverage in the present
location. Poor network coverage may occur,
for example in tunnels, in mountainous coun-
try, in deep valleys or indoors. The speed also
depends on the agreement you have with your
network.

NOTE

In the event of problems with data traffic,
contact your network operator.

Restarting the phone

If there are problems with the Internet con-
nection then it may help to restart the phone.
