Is My Car Android Auto Compatible?
Contents

Android Auto will work in any car, even an older car. All you need is the right accessories—and a smartphone running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher (Android 6.0 is better), with a decent-sized screen.

How can I make my car Android Auto compatible?

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.

How can I get Android Auto on my older car?

Connect to Bluetooth and run Android Auto on your phone

The first, and easiest, way to go about adding Android Auto to your car is to simply connect your phone to the Bluetooth function in your car. Next, you can get a phone mount to affix your phone to the car’s dashboard and utilize Android Auto that way.
