Android Auto lets you listen to music, make  
calls, get driving directions and use apps cus-  
tomized for your vehicle from an Android  
device. Android Auto can be used with  
selected Android devices.  
When a device is connected to Android  
Auto, it is possible to steam to another  
media player via Bluetooth. Bluetooth is  
active while Android Auto is in use.

through Bluetooth, the connection will be  
broken when CarPlay is used. Resume  
Internet connection in the vehicle by teth-  
ering using the device's Wi-Fi hotspot.  
When using navigation guidance provided by  
Android Auto, navigation will only be shown  
on the center display and not in the instrument  
panel or head-up display.

voice calls and messages) interrupt the  
use of the vehicle's own functions and  
CarPlay will instead be automatically dis-  
played. If you do not wish this to happen,  
deselect display of the corresponding  
function in CarPlay under the phone's  
notification settings.  
Android Auto can be controlled from the cen-  
ter display, with the right-side steering wheel  
keypad or by using voice commands. Press

Overview  
A phone equipped with Bluetooth can be  
wirelessly connected to the vehicle's inte-  
grated hands-free system.  
The audio and media system offers hands-free  
functionality for remotely controlling a number  
of the phone's features. The phone's inte-  
grated controls can also be used, even when it  
is connected to the vehicle.  
A maximum of 20 Android devices can be  
stored at the same time, which may be  
worth noting if many people share the  
vehicle, e.g. in a car pool. When the list is  
full and a new device is connected, the  
oldest one will be deleted. A factory reset  
must be performed to delete the list.  
When the phone has been paired and con-  
nected to the vehicle, it can be used as an  
Internet connection or to make or receive  
calls, send or receive text messages or wire-  
lessly play music.
