From ANOVO we want to teach you how to install and use
Android Auto so that you can continue to use your mobile safely while driving .
According to the latest reports published by the DGT, many
users continue to misuse mobile devices while driving.
A report on the matter has recently been published by the
Línea Directa Foundation in collaboration with the University Institute for
Traffic Research and Road Safety of the University of Valencia. This report
includes the importance that the mobile has in the distractions that generate
many traffic accidents.
Taking into account that some 13 million users recognize
that they use their mobile while driving, it is even more important to spread
the need to use applications such as Android Auto that guarantee your safety.
Let's see how it works.
Install Android Auto
Android Auto is the Google tool created to allow you to use
your smartphone and its main applications while driving. With a format designed
to avoid distractions, Android Auto allows you to access your apps through the
screen of your phone or your car's browser if it is compatible.
Its installation is very simple, you just have to access
Google Play through your device and download the application on your
smartphone. As a requirement, your phone must have an operating system Android
5.0 (Lollipop) or higher and a mobile data contract. According to Google
itself, Android Auto's performance is even better on Android versions 6.0
(Marshmallow) or higher.
If your car does not have a browser or it is not compatible
with Android Auto, you can use the application by displaying it on the screen
of your smartphone. To do this, you need a car phone holder and a USB cable to
charge the device.
If your car is compatible with the application, you will
only need your phone and a high-quality USB cable. As always, we recommend that
you use the original cables and accessories of your own brand and device.

How to configure the app
Once downloaded to your phone, open Android Auto. Follow the
steps that will appear on your screen to accept permissions, security notices,
download other applications, and so on.
You need to grant Android Auto permission to access your
phone's applications and functions. Google recommends, in order to offer you a
better experience, that you accept all requests from the application.
If you have your phone linked by Bluetooth with your car or
with the support, select that device so that, when it is detected, the
application starts automatically.
How to configure Android Auto on the screen of a
