The map is still on of the largest panels, giving you directions as you drive. You now have two extra sections; one for your messages and another for the music volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, Android Auto only works in vehicles with a <strong>central display<\/strong> that works with software. You\u2019ll need a USB flash drive plugged into the display so that it can connect to your phone. In this way, your messages and music will appear on the car\u2019s screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another update is that you\u2019ll have access to more <a href=\"https:\/\/google-play-store.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Play<\/a> apps right in your car. Google is till workiing on integrating <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WhatsApp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/waze.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Waze<\/a> maps, and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>. To ensure your safety, it\u2019s making the videos only play when your vehicle is at a stand still. That\u2019s how <strong>innovative the technology is<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-5.jpg\" alt=\"compatible with Android Auto\" class=\"wp-image-209321\" width=\"383\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-5-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-5-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how do you know if your vehicle is compatible with Android Auto?
