Get Android Auto for the Vehicle you Already Own

Android Auto at CartronicsAndroid Auto

We spend hours each day using our Androids to make calls, listen to music, get directions, and text our friends and family. If you’re like most Americans, who drive an average of 101 minutes per day, a large portion of that phone usage happens in your car.

So why not take the Android interface you already know and seamlessly integrate it into the car you already own? Well, Pioneer (as well as other brands like Alpine, Kenwood coming soon) and Android asked the same question.  Their answer is the easiest, safest, and most fun way to use your Android in your car: Android Auto + a Pioneer compatible receiver.

Using Android Auto with your Pioneer compatible receiver couldn’t be simpler. Just plug in your phone to the receiver and your familiar Android interface will appear on the large screen in your dash. For the rest of your drive, you can simply put your phone away and ask Google or select the icons on your in-dash screen.

How Can Android Auto Work for You? 

Just plug in your phone and Android Auto automatically launches. Android Auto features maps, music, and all the apps you love! It also works with your car’s controls – knobs, buttons, or touchscreen.

Voice – No more reading and typing while driving

Maps – Ask Google Voice for directions 

  • Ask for directions to specific destinations like your local airport or the nearest coffee shop or a specific address, without typing.
  • Once you choose your destination you’ll get turn-by-turn directions, the ability to zoom in on the map, and scroll through 2D and 3D maps. You’ll also be able to view live traffic, points of interest, and different routes with real-time traffic updates.
