What does Android Auto do?
Android Auto takes the features you love about your Android-powered smartphone and puts them directly in your car’s dashboard. Nifty, huh? It displays information on a familiar, easy-to-use interface with cards you can swipe out of the way, legible menus, and large icons.
One of the best parts of Android Auto is the Google Maps-powered navigation system, which provides step-by-step directions and automatically finds an alternate route if it detects heavy traffic. It also ports over saved destinations from your phone, so you don’t have to manually type in the address for “Home,” “Work,” or your favorite watering hole. The software also gives motorists on-demand access to millions of songs and podcasts, lets them surf the web, and allows them to stay connected via phone calls and messages.
The purpose of the Mazda Android Auto system is to provide the driver with a setup similar to their phones, but also to provide a high tech hands off experience for safety.
How is it different than just using your phone?
This is a common question that our associates get from customers that are looking for a Mazda vehicle with the Android Auto software. The biggest difference is that the system has been developed with car use in mind, and as a result it is easier to use Android Auto while driving than fumbling about with a phone that is in a cup holder or stuck to the dash. Also, to help reduce frustration with missing buttons, Google’s speech recognition software allows you to take command of the majority of Android Auto features, again helping drivers use the software on the move.
