The arrival of Android Auto in our cars has allowed us, among many other things, to considerably improve our safety while driving thanks to navigation apps. But what happens if our car does not have this system and we have to use an adapter? How can we know the compatibility?
Android Auto It has become, as it has evolved, one of the preferred options for drivers. With this system, we can perform all types of tasks in our vehicle without diverting our attention from everything around us: from answering calls to responding to messages. Going through, as it could not be otherwise, doing the same with the navigation applications. A set of features that has been designing an increasingly attractive scenario for drivers.
However, not all cars integrate this technology as standard. Some of them, despite having touch screens, cannot use this system. And that is when the adapters that the different suppliers have been marketing allow us to bring Android Auto to those vehicles that would not be compatible at first. An increasingly used resource that hardly requires any complex configuration process to be able to function. But how can we know the compatibility of the vehicle with the system in question?
How to get the information
Many drivers tend to confuse the fact that their vehicle has a touch screen with the fact that it may be compatible with Android Auto. However it is not always so. The large number of adapters, both wireless and wired, require minimum requirements to function correctly. Luckily, one of the main manufacturers in the adapter sector has developed a website that, in just a few steps, offers us all the information we need regarding the compatibility of our car in question.
All we have to do is access it through this link, enter our name, the vehicle model and the year of the vehicle and, subsequently, it will offer us the options that we have before us if they are compatible. Otherwise, a message will appear stating that, indeed, the conditions of our vehicle are not sufficient to be able to use this type of adapters.
If the result is negative
In the case of obtaining a negative result like the one we have attached in the previous screenshot, there is still some option. In this case, the form only serves to take into account AA Wireless brand adapters. That, although it has a fairly extensive catalog, it does not include all the options that currently exist on the market.
The next step would be to investigate the rest of the manufacturers that could have options available that were compatible with our car. In this case, it is important to look at the specifications of each one: especially, whether they are wired or wireless, to obtain greater comfort. As we can see in the ones shown below, many of them can be ours for a price that is around 30 and 40 euros.
