can Not stand to set your phone anywhere in the car and use it as a Navigator, and a multimedia device. OK, not suffer, not yet tried Android Auto in a version for smartphones.
do Not suffer with a fairly simple reason. Some pens, some stretching all over the wires and cables. Need something to press that it is necessary to include. Have to fiddle with a tricky interface, or going through the rough “road” pads. And CarPlay/Android Auto on a dedicated set connected to the phone via the USB hidden, for example, in the glove box? Beautiful, clean, perfect. So long odpychałem the idea that – like most drivers, just install the phone in the holder on the natural cooling. I wanted to have a big, beautiful screen with CarPlayem and Android Auto at the same time. Because it seemed to me that this is the only sensible, elegant and functional option.
the only trouble is that the acquisition of such a set is a disaster.
Because there is not very plenty to choose from. If it is not worth the terrible money is basically, there is another problem. Still in my eye I three systems, working with Android a couple of Auto/CarPlay from Sony, JBL and Parrota.
First has a reasonable price (about $ 500), but it looks like that – to put it mildly – I would prefer not to associate in any way with Italian design the interior of my car. The second one is a fantastic price ($ 399), a simple appearance and usually no defects. In addition, in February this year, and then not ship it in the sale. Third, on the contrary, once during the presentation was quite warmly received by the media, was quietly cancelled. Beautiful.
Resigned, I bought a bracket, charger (Handsfree I already had before) and I went, rather, the effect is as still. While in the pen, still occupied by the iPhone, took Android phone.
Yes, I play previously Android Auto on your phone, but only now I managed this solution to test longer, in normal, everyday conditions.
how it looks in Google, it should look like at all.
and because it’s a solution that completely departs from the person the desire to purchase another, special, expensive screen for the car. The phone is in full.
because it looks Like the support for Android Auto in the form smartfonowej? Perfect. We get in the car, put the phone in the holder, turn on Bluetooth and… smartphone mode Android Auto, with all its advantages. This does not necessarily disconnected while driving wi-fi to avoid wasting energy, and when it loses connection with Bluetoothem (for example, I get out of the car, or off the set) is immediately turned off Android Auto.
no need to push anything not needed on the telephone switching. We’re looking at only what we during the drive, really need navigation, contact list, music player, plus possibly a few and very limited notifications from selected apps. All great, all clear, all readable, and, moreover, partially supported voice easily – I don’t even have to press any buttons. Now, I say “OK, Google” and ask, for example, about the weather, the itinerary that I want.
How simple, how corny, seems to be no problem to make the smartphone more stupid and less functional than. But…
I’m on iPhone, which is because most of the time guests in the same holder and connects to the same Bluetooth kit. What? And there is Apple for some reason did not. During the drive I have the same interface as in normal use. The one who works every day, but drive it completely inoperable.
of Course, you can try to argue that the interface CarPlay is basically the iOS interface, with only rozciągniętymi to the limit icons. If so, why not to move to small screens, as did Google with Android Auto? After all, it is even easier.
All the features of Android Auto in version smartfonowej describe here will not – these are almost identical to those that will offer Android Auto on a special device. However… many here for the description has not. Panel main four, all clearly described, additional options are so few that they are on the same screen of the phone. Don’t need anymore.
To be clear – I’m a big fan of this “ogłupiania” of the phone.
Daily the interface device is not suitable for use while driving. Excess application does not helping you to focus on managing, and rising up notifications just annoying.
Player, sat NAV, automatic connection may have information about a new text message (without the ability to read – only for listening), for example, probably the place of our route based on previous search queries – much more is not necessary. And it’s all here… on one screen. Exactly as it should be. That, however, a fascinating contrast to the fact that they could push their systems to the car manufacturers, which, for example, allow you to read these SMS messages and even reply to it, even if rushing on the highway.
No, Android Auto in version smartfonowej is not suitable.
at least… not able to integrate with Apple Music (although Spotify comes out, it is already good). Voice control is not fully functional. The lack of support too many applications, too, may not be to some taste. And, of course, you can’t write off SMS as well, and other. during the drive I believe, however, a great advantage.
in addition, however, Google – what can I say after a few days of intensive use of Android Auto, has done good wonderful job. Not only because Android Auto is actually all we need in the process drive (and, thank God, or a little more), but because a few small, smart solutions (automatic start when you turn on BT, etc.) so close, in terms of comfort of using a separate, dedicated device, as soon as possible.
Apple, time for your move.
