Ratings and reviews

It is great! But the fact that I can't properly use the map on the move puts me in higher danger when I simply can't park anywhere. Besides, the map has a bug where it becomes unresponsive if I don't choose the first destiny available first and then cancel it, which is dangerous on the move. Adding to that, the Google assistant integrated is also useless when you are asking for directions to places that are not in English. Sometimes, it only gets the names by butchering the pronunciation.

When I'm in the car it is mostly great. I can search Pandora, maps, etc. easily. However, it disconnects at random times for no apparent reason. Also automatically turns on my wifi, even when not connected to my car causing me to automatically connect anytime it detects a wifi source that I have used before even though I have disabled automatic wifi. When I turned off the setting that makes it do that, it would no longer connect to the car. Irritating to have to keep turning of my wifi.

Android Auto is a highly effective tool for integrating your Android phone with your car's infotainment system. It offers seamless navigation, easy access to apps like Spotify and Google Maps, and voice commands for hands-free operation. However, occasional connectivity issues and app compatibility can be frustrating. Overall, it's a solid 4 out of 5 stars for enhancing driving convenience and safety.
