Android Auto is finally here, official app is now available in Google Play
After nearly a year from it’s official introduction, Android Auto is finally available. Last week brought the first 3rd party head unit from Pioneer Electronics, but with no official app, it was unusable.
Today, Google released the Android Auto app which is necessary in order to bring Auto compatible apps to your dash. All developers needs to do is add the necessary code to their apps, and they can be viewed and controlled from your car’s dash. Now that the app is official, we should start seeing more apps get integrated over the new few weeks. We will also see more head units available from Kenwood and Parrot, as well as other car manufacturers like Audi and Volkswagen.
It’s important to note that Android Auto only works with Android 5.0+ devices, which at this moment in time, is less than 5% of you. However, that number will pick up once the Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 get released early next month.
Are you jumping on the Android Auto bandwagon?
