To use Android Auto on your car display, your car needs to be compatible with Android Auto or have an aftermarket unit installed. Android Auto won’t work on all cars equipped with a USB port. See this list of manufacturers to check if your car is compatible. Not all USB cables will work with all cars.

How much does it cost to install Android Auto?

All told, the installation took roughly three hours and cost about $200 for parts and labor. The shop installed a pair of USB extension ports and the custom housing and wiring harness necessary for my vehicle.

Can I get Android Auto installed in my car?

Download the Android Auto app from Google Play or plug into the car with a USB cable and download when prompted. Turn on your car and make sure it’s in park. Unlock your phone’s screen and connect using a USB cable. Give Android Auto permission to access your phone’s features and apps.
