What apps are built into Android Auto?
You may have noticed a lack of navigation apps above — this is because Android Auto already comes with the most popular navigation app on the platform — Google Maps. The Google Maps interface is similar to if you used the app normally, but it’s been cleaned up a bit and buttons are easier to hit. Of course, if you have another Navigation app that you prefer, it could definitely be added in the near future.
Is my Ford vehicle compatible with Android Auto?
Wondering if the Ford you’re driving can work with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay? Thankfully, it’s easy to figure out! If you’re driving a 2017 model year Ford equipped with SYNC 3, then you can hook up your phone to use Android Auto. Many 2016 model year Ford vehicles also have an available update to allow them to use Android Auto. We suggest visiting Ford’s owner site to check if your vehicle is compatible!
