Why is Android Auto not working in Mercedes?

8. Clear Cache and Storage for the Android Auto App – If Android Auto still won’t work, your best bet is to clear all the saved data in the Android Auto app and start again. You should do this while your phone is disconnected from your car, so make sure your vehicle is shut off and the USB cable unplugged. To clear the data for Android Auto, head to Settings > Apps & notifications > See all X apps > Android Auto > Storage & cache, Note that on Android 12, the menu is titled Apps instead of Apps & notifications, Here, select Clear cache first, then try using Android Auto again. Clearing cache only removes temporary files used to make the app work more efficiently, so deleting cache won’t erase any of your Android Auto preferences. If this doesn’t work, go back to the menu and tap Clear storage next. This deletes all the data for the app, so it’s like installing it from scratch. You will likely need to configure settings for Android Auto again after doing this. Hopefully, after wiping all the app’s files clean, Android Auto will connect for you again.

How much does it cost to have Android Auto installed?

Android Auto – how to connect – Connecting your phone to Android Auto is a similar process to hooking up through Bluetooth. Firstly, you should do it with the car stationary and in an area of phone coverage; the Android Auto app blocks configuration if the car is moving, and it needs to connect to Google to finalise the set-up.

1. That aside, it’s pretty easy.
2. For older smartphones, load up the Android Auto app on your phone (a free download from the Google Play Store); then, with it running, you plug in the phone via USB, and go to your car’s Android Auto screen.
3. For newer handsets, just plug in the cable to the car’s USB port and Android Auto should load up automatically.

A growing number of the latest cars and smartphones also support a wireless Android Auto connection. In most cases, you’ll be prompted to connect a new device – again, similar to how Bluetooth set-up works – and when you select your smartphone, you’ll need to approve the ‘handshake’ in the Android Auto app on your device’s screen.

1. If this sounds complex, don’t worry; it’s something you should only have to do once, because the connection can happen automatically thereafter.
2. If your device is running Android Auto but you get a blank screen on your car’s infotainment system, it may need a software upgrade or not be compatible at all.

Android Auto needs at least Android version 5.0 (‘Lollipop’) to run. There’s an ever-increasing range of approved apps for Android Auto – and some of the early offerings already work particularly well. Perhaps the most impressive is Google Maps, which brings detailed navigation and real-time traffic information to your car.

• The display is quick to respond, it constantly looks for quicker route options and best of all, you can just click a microphone button and say, ‘Navigate to’ any given destination and it’ll take you there.
• The recognition can be fooled by background tyre roar if you’re travelling along a particularly noisy stretch of road – but that aside, it’s uncannily accurate.

Because the system uses Google’s own data, it’s great at understanding commercial destinations instead of just streets and postcodes. And being Google, it also has access to your recent browsing and search history – so it’s possible to look for a future destination at your office desk or home laptop, jump into the car, hook up your phone and find it suggested as a possible route to you without even asking for it.

The real-time traffic information is based on Google’s other navigation users, so it’s considerably more reliable than manufacturers’ radio- and camera-based data. A two-hour route is usually accurate to within a couple of minutes, whereas a less connected nav system may predict as little as 45 minutes for the same journey if it’s unaware of traffic problems and roadworks.

The other main service of Android Auto is music streaming – including offerings by the big subscription-based services: Amazon Music and Spotify. We’ve tried Spotify with a premium account and it’s reasonably slick, showing album art and using Google’s cloud-based speech recognition to allow you to demand any track from the archive – regardless of whether it’s in your collection or not.

• What is Waze? The phone navigation app explained One negative point is that Google has been quite restrictive on the amount of ‘browsing’ you’re able to do – presumably for safety reasons. So even though your Spotify library may have 100 albums or artists, you’re only ever able to scroll through eight or 10 of them before you get a pop-up telling you to pause scrolling before you continue to browse.

Apple’s CarPlay system – which offers many of Android Auto’s features on iOS devices – isn’t so strict. Other apps are being launched on an almost weekly basis. WhatsApp and Skype are already compatible, allowing you to potentially use those services to make VOIP calls instead of Android Auto’s conventional smartphone system.

1. And there are dozens of eBooks and Podcast apps on offer – although you may need to use trial and error to find one with the right mix of content and a user-friendly interface.
2. Bizarrely, phone access is one of Android Auto’s weaker points.
3. It’s basically sound, and it will read out texts and Google Hangouts messages to you and allow you to dictate replies – but it’s not much more comprehensive than a decent car-smartphone interface.

At least the fact that it’s contained within Android Auto’s on-screen environment means that you don’t have to hop back out to the car’s own system to make a phone call; you do have to do this to switch radio stations or media if you’re not listening to music through an Android Auto streaming app.

Can you upgrade Mercedes screen?

Large Screen Android Tablet for Mercedes We can retrofit a 10.25″ Large Screen Android Tablet for Mercedes into the same position as your current screen. This will display your current system along with many upgrades. We have been very careful to source only the highest quality and spec products.

1. These screens run the latest Android 11 operating system.
2. They are based on an Android tablet with 6Gb RAM and 128Gb of flash memory which is much more than most.
3. Featuring a UI that mimics MBUX makes this system look part of the original car.
4. Features include wireless and, running on a 1920 x 720 resolution, blueray, anti-glare screen.

Large Screen Android Tablet for Mercedes can work with any existing reverse camera or 360 view system. It can also offer connection to an aftermarket camera with support for active guidance lines. A SIM card can be added to create a WiFi hotspot and to run in-built navigation apps and others.Your existing steering wheel and central controls will operate this system and heating information will pop-up when adjustments are made.

1. Being based on an Android tablet these devices can be used to run apps such as Netflix, YouTube etc or any other Android app (Google log-in is required).
2. These apps require an internet connection so need to be tethered to your mobile using the Wi-Fi connection.
3. This uses the same connection as Wireless CarPlay so this will need to be released first.

Alternatively, if a SIM card is installed these can run simultaneously. This will work on Mercedes with NTG4.5, NTG5.1 and NTG5.2. If you are unsure which Comand or Audio 20 you have, check our, On cars that have an AUX input available we will program this into the audio options menu if its not already there.

This is available on all NTG4.5, and Comand only on NTG5.2 (on C/GLC this is Premium Plus cars with Burmester Audio upgrade). On other models (All NTG5.1 and NTG5.2 with Audio 20/Garmin sat nav) we will use a USB-AUX adapter. This is a small device that connects to one of your Media Interface USB connections in the centre armrest.

This will work perfectly for Music and Navigation and has no ‘side-effects’. However if you choose to watch a video, the very small time delay that the USB creates causes a ‘lip-sync’ issue where the sound and video do not line up quite as closely as ideal.

To counter-act this we can install a small amplifier that creates a direct link from the screen to the speakers and therefore eliminates this delay. On NTG5.2 the volume can still be adjusted on the radio and the steering wheel. On NTG5.1 the volume can only be controlled by the steering wheel controls and NOT on the radio itself.

NB. Unless watching video content this is NOT required. The quoted price includes installation and all parts required. Check out the video below to see more. This system will work with Comand or Audio 20 in the following cars: A class 176 – 2013 to 2019 NTG4.5 & NTG5.1 C Class 205 – 2015 to 2019 NTG5.2 CLA class 117 – 2013 to 2019 NTG4.5 & NTG5.1 GLA class 156 – 2014 to 2020 NTG4.5 & NTG5.1 GLC Class 253 – 2016 to 2019 NTG5.2 V Class 447 – 2015 on NTG5.2

If you are unsure which Comand you have, check our, New products for other models coming soon. For alternative options, check out the products below:

Whilst we are working on your car, you can make use of our customer lounge which includes WiFi, a spacious desk and comfy sofa. We also provide tea, coffee and cold drinks.
