That’s exactly why I want to use Android Auto w/ my i. Phone, ideally using Waze which is also by Google. I’m gonna offer a pretty definite ‘no’ to that. If you have an i. Phone, Apple Car Play might work better for you True. But even then there’s no guarantee almost all the headunits that come with Android Auto have also Apple Carplay .

This begs the query “What is Android Auto and what can it do?”

This of course begs the inquiry “What can Android Auto do for You?”
Well, this should not come as a surprise to anyone. One of the biggest use of Android Auto is for navigation. Since Google Maps launched, there is no place far from your reach. Just ask Google for navigation and it will launch the Google Maps app, giving you turn by turn navigation on your screen.
