Android Auto, Google's automotive dashboard software, is now available on the US 2015 Hyundai Sonata model range, marking its first appearance in a production vehicle.
Unveiled a year ago, Android Auto allows a USB connected Android phone (Android 5.0 Lollipop or later) to display compatible apps on the in-dash display where they will be fully integrated with the cars audio and hardware controls.
Android Auto, and Apple's version, CarPlay, should be the answer that we've all been waiting for as they allow you to use your choice of satnav app with all the benefits of a factory fit system such as large display, steering wheel or console mounted controls and improved audio.
Perhaps the biggest concern was having vehicles tied to either Google or Apple, but Hyundai have answered this by making both available so buyers can choose. Better still, existing Sonata owners cane receive a software upgrade to add Android Auto, although this will necessitate a trip to the dealer.

Interesting that the system which is available in USA is illustrated by a right hand drive car. _________________ Dennis

I hope it's been better implemented than the latest 2015 Honda Connect Android double din unit.
I haven't read a good review on the Civinfo site about it. Very locked down and sparse and difficult to understand functionality.
On the Honda they have Garmin SatNav but have only built in TMC RDS instead of the digital traffic. _________________ Satnav:

That picture is a bodged mock up.
If you look closely you can see the picture is reversed and then someone has superimposed the Android satnav over the top. _________________ GO 620, Tomtom Android EU,
