Ratings and reviews

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.

I love the Android Auto, I think it's the best application interface to use while on the road. Even compared to Apple car play, the Android Auto is supirior, if it's for navigation (can't remember when I ever used the built-in navigator of my car), the music player,etc. The home split screen is awesome as well. It is very intuitive and easy to use.
