Developed by Google to make driving easier, Android Auto can integrate your Android phone with your Vauxhall’s infotainment system.

You can use voice commands to control the system, so will always have your hands on the wheel. All you need to do is say, “Hey Google” to activate the assistant to provide you with navigation, calls, texts, or change your music. It’s that easy!

Android Auto supports many popular apps, from Google Maps to Spotify, Whatsapp and Audible. You can use these with minimal distractions when on the road.

Once activated, Android Auto can also be controlled using your touchscreen or steering wheel controls. If you want to introduce this system to your vehicle, HmiRetrofits carries out Android Auto Activation for Insignias A and B.

Will it work with my Vauxhall vehicle?

Although it originally required a wired USB connection, newer vehicles and devices can support wireless Android Auto. This means you can connect without plugging it in. An automatic connection means you can automatically launch it on a compatible infotainment system.

It is compatible with certain aftermarket head units from brands like Pioneer, Kenwood, and Sony, so it can work in older vehicles. In terms of operating system, Android Auto requires Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher. However, features work best with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or higher.

We regularly help customers activate Android Auto.

HmiRetrofits both installs infotainment systems and carries out the activation of Android Auto. This system is highly safe to use, with large icons and a simple interface.
