    Question Android Auto wirelessly

    The vehicle is brand new and I know it supports wireless AA because it does that with my 2 year old Samsung Android phone. I don't want to use that phone for the connection for a variety of reasons and bought a used Samsung for that purpose. It appears that I bought too old a phone to be able...

    Question Android Auto wirelessly

    Thanks for this. I will check to see what variant I have. It does puzzle me as to why the phone is listed as accepting Android 11 (and hence wireless AA connectivity) on gsmarena, which is usually pretty accurate, but will not allow me to just update. I just bought it from BackMarket after...

    Question Navigating with Android 13

    I have been planning to switch from my iPhone 12 to a Google Fold, but have a question about the new Android OS (13). I had originally thought that I could use Android Auto to display apps like Google Maps on my Jeep info display, but saw posts in the forum saying that support for Android Auto...
