If you've been watching our blog lately, you've probably seen some of our coverage on how easy it is to hook up your iPhone to your Alfa Romeo car. But what about folks who own Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy? Well, you'll be happy to learn that Android phone owners are not left out, because both the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Alfa Romeo Stelvio feature Android Auto compatibility.
If you read our previous blog post, we think you'll find that Android Auto functions with compatible Alfa Romeo cars in very much the same way that Apple CarPlay does. That is to say, it allows you access to many of the features and apps of your phone via hands-free voice commands, intuitive buttons on the steering wheel, or even the crisp central touchscreen display. And trust us when we say that the ability to make calls without picking up your phone or have your texts read back to you on the road is not just convenient, it's also safer for you to keep your full attention on the road and your surroundings rather than fiddling with your phone screen. Best of all, Android Auto is just as easy to set up and integrate with your Alfa Romeo as Apple CarPlay is.
- Just go to the Google Play store and download the Android Auto app
- With your car turned on and parked, plug your phone's charging cable into the USB port on your Alfa Romeo car's center console
- Plug the other end of your phone's charging cable into your phone and open the Android Auto app
- Press "Accept" on any onscreen prompts
- And you're done! Your Alfa Romeo is all set to use Android Auto
With convenient and intuitive tech like Android Auto at your disposal, your Alfa Romeo car is something akin to a mobile command center. So, if you're interested in learning more about how you can leverage the power of Android Auto to enhance your driving experiences, stop by our showroom and let our team run you through the finer features and functionalities of this technology as you take a test drive in the Alfa Romeo Giulia or Alfa Romeo Stelvio of your choice.
