If a car is equipped with Android Auto, you can connect your Android phone to it to access your maps, musics, contacts and other features through the car's display. This means you can take calls, play your favourite song, or switch destinations all while driving. 

If you don't have a cable with you, you'll need to connect to the car stereo with Bluetooth instead.

The video below is a quick guide on how to connect your phone to the car's Android Auto: 

Connect your phone using a USB cable.

1. Some cars might allow Bluetooth (if using Bluetooth, check that Bluetooth is ON on your phone).  

This will activate Android Auto on your phone. Follow the prompts on your phone to get set up. 

The car will ask for permissions depending on what you want connected. For example, you can allow Android Auto access to your contacts (for calls) and location (for navigation), but prohibit it from accessing your calendar. 

Once set up is complete, the display screen in your car will now function like your phone!
