Google announced some time ago that Android Auto would reach most cars and it seems that way it will be, although in old cars will come through a smartphone or Android device . Some cars already include a system that incorporates Android Auto factory, but at the moment are certain brands in specific models.
In the search to increase the presence of Android Auto, this has been completely renewed and we no longer need a special car, just an Android device.
This new version is 2.0 and is now available to the vast majority of users in all countries through the Play Store. As initial requirements, we will need an Android device with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system or higher .
The Android Auto system is designed so that everything works with voice commands, without having to take off the view of the road. It includes applications such as Google Maps, Spotify or Google Play Music so we can interact with them while driving our car.
To use it with a smartphone or tablet in an old vehicle, it is advisable to buy a support for our Android device that we can anchor somewhere in the dashboard or windshield. These mobiles supports for the car are quite cheap and usually incorporate a clamping system (pressure) or suction cup, so they do not require installation.
In this version of Android Auto 2.0 we can link the phone with the car by bluetooth. The application is found in the Google Play Store and can be downloaded from this link for free.
As an inconvenience that users find is that to listen to music uses Google Play Music , something to which we are not yet accustomed. If in the future it has support for other navigation systems such as Waze, the application will improve even more.
