R-Link Evolution & Android Auto
“Android Auto™” is an application that can be downloaded from your smartphone which enables you to use some applications on your phone from your multimedia system screen.
Note: to find out if your smartphone is compatible with the “Android Auto™” application, refer to the manufacturer's website if there is one.
The functions of the “Android Auto™” application depend on the make and model of
your telephone. For further information, please refer to the manufacturer's
website if there is one.
- Download and install the “Android Auto™” application from the application
download platform on your smartphone;
- connect your telephone to your multimedia system’s USB port;
- a window is displayed on your multimedia system screen;
- press the “Yes” button to accept the request;
- press the button on your vehicle’s multimedia system screen;
- a window is displayed on your multimedia system screen informing you that you
need to accept the confidentiality clauses of the application on your smartphone
in order to use the “Android Auto™” application;
- confirm by pressing “Accept” on your phone;
- press the button on your vehicle’s multimedia system screen once more.
The application is launched on the multimedia system.
If the procedure described above fails, repeat the operation.
Note: the “Android Auto™” application will only operate if your smartphone is connected to your vehicle's USB port.
Once the “Android Auto™” application is activated on your multimedia system, you
can use the voice recognition button in your vehicle to control some functions
of your smartphone by voice. To do this, press and hold (for approximately three
seconds) button on the steering wheel or
on the steering column control for
your vehicle (for more information, refer to the section on “Using voice
recognition”).
Note: when you use “Android Auto™”, you can access navigation and music applications on your smartphone. These applications will replace similar applications integrated in R-Link which are already launched. For example, only one navigation application, Android Auto™, or the application integrated into your multimedia system can be used.
Note: when you are using the “Android Auto™” application, certain functions of your multimedia system will continue to be carried out in the background. For example if you start “Android Auto™” and use the navigation on your smartphone while the radio on the multimedia system is currently playing, the radio will continue to be broadcast.
Returning to the R-Link interface
To return to the R-Link interface, press the “Home” button on the front panel of your multimedia system.
When you use the “Android Auto™” application, the transfer of cellular data
required for it to operate may lead to additional costs not included in your
phone plan.
