Connectivity is the order of the day. We increasingly demand to be connected at all times and, with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, it is now possible to do so safely even while driving.
What are Apple Carplay and Android Auto?
Apple Carplay and Android auto are the apps of the respective brands that allow you to connect your cell phone to the vehicle's screen, adapting the interface to make it safe to use while driving.
Simple interface on the car display
These applications play your cell phone on the vehicle's screen, simplifying many tasks and disallowing others that are not safe to perform while driving. Thus, they create shortcuts that can be operated with steering wheel controls, voice commands or the car's screen.
How do I use Apple Carplay and Android Auto?
To connect your smartphone to your vehicle, you will normally need to download the corresponding App to your cell phone. Then, you will connect the device via usb to the car and select to use the app on both screens. In this way, the smartphone screen will be blocked for almost all functions (it will allow you to see some notifications and disconnect from the car) and it will be played on the vehicle screen.
The interface varies depending on the brand (Android or Apple), but its operation is very similar: receiving messages that can be read aloud by the application and answered with voice messages or by pressing a button that sends a warning that we are driving, access to music, phone or maps.
