PAIRING YOUR ANDROID PHONE
Pairing your phone couldn’t be easier. Simply plug it in via a USB cable and accept any access permissions that appear.
Once your car detects a connection, the Android Auto icon appears on the screen and you can access phone, music, maps and messages, either hands free, or through the touch screen and control buttons on the steering wheel.
GOOGLE MAPS
Don’t worry about getting lost. After tapping the maps icon, Google will find your location. Ask it to direct you to the address you want and Google will give you a choice of routes. Tap the one you want and you're good to go.
Google Maps also lists points of interest ranging from cafes to petrol stations and you can simply ask it for directions. At any time you can stop a route by hitting the X at the bottom of the screen.
MESSAGING WITH GOOGLE
Message on the move. Tell Google who you want to message, then dictate it and review before sending.
When you receive a message, the sender’s name appears on the touchscreen.
Once you tap, Google dictates the message and asks if you’d like to reply. If you do, once again dictate the message to Google and then review before sending.
ANDROID AUTO CALLS
Making calls in your car with Android Auto couldn’t be simpler. Tap on the phone icon on the screen and tell Google to call the person you want to talk to. When you finish your call, press ‘end’ on the touchscreen or the end call button on your steering wheel.
To receive a call, press the call button on your steering wheel or the answer button on the touchscreen.
You can also access your voice messages through the phone screen’s menu where you can see missed calls, check voicemail or check call history. If you want to return your last call, tell Google.
APPLE MAPS
Tap the Apple Maps icon to activate it and it will find your location. Finding a route is simple too. Press the voice command button on your steering wheel, or tap the microphone icon in the upper right corner of the screen to activate Siri. You can then ask it to find your destination or direct you to places of interest such as a café. Siri then plots you a route - just tap and off you go.
CarPlay also has many points of interest ranging from restaurants to petrol stations. You can access these by tapping the appropriate button such as Food and Drink which will then give you popular destinations nearby, which can be further narrowed down to the type of venue. Tap on the Desired Location, tap Directions then Go.
MESSAGING WITH SIRI
If you want to hear a message that is sent to you, Siri will dictate the content of the message. You can repeat the message, send a reply or even call the sender, just ask Siri.
When replying to a message, Siri will ask you to dictate your message. Siri will check the message with you and you can change it, listen again, or ask Siri to send it.
If you want to write a message, tell Siri what you want to do. For example: ‘Send a message to my wife’. Then tell Siri the message which it will then repeat back and send it if you want to proceed
