Comments on Android Auto for Android

★★★★★ Jesus Hiquiana · Nov 6, 2026
Very helpful tool when driving. It connects to most mobile comm apps...
★★★★★ Leigh Flagg · Oct 12, 2026
I love Android auto. It makes all my driving more enjoyable and finding locations effortlessly possible.
★★★★★ Steven Applebee · Oct 29, 2026
Since 2015 I was leasing jeeps and Android auto comes standard, when you plug in your charger you have your phone with your apps displayed on the vehical's touch screen. When you receive a text message you can choose to read it or have it narrated over the car's speakers then you can reply with a predefined message or with voice recognition, you have "HEY GOOGLE" voice interaction, and you can also use your phone navigation ... There is absolutely no reason to touch your phone while you drive
★★★★☆ Neville Cox · Oct 29, 2026
It works well apart from the maps. When displayed on the car screen it is difficult to follow because the text and captions block the map view.
★☆☆☆☆ Voluptuous Life · Oct 29, 2026
VPN Failure. More recently with the newest update l, I can no longer use android auto in my i7, when vpn is switched on through my smartphone. This is a very big issue for me. Even when I engage split tunneling and have LAN selected to allow for direct device connection.
★★☆☆☆ Ian Cooper · Nov 6, 2026
It's alright when it works. Once again, after an update, it won't connect wirelessly to the car. It's like Google has no QA to test apps before releasing them, perhaps they've been fired to cut costs.
★★☆☆☆ Alana Delaforce · Oct 29, 2026
Works intermittently with my car. Good when it does. Recent update stopped it working again. Also, an ABSOLUTE pain that I can't switch it off temporarily when my car picks it up while on charge.
