Default Android Auto

I know there are plenty of threads on this topic, but in the beginning I was led to believe I think by the dealer that anything I saw on my phone Android phone, it would mirror it to the nav screen I think that's not right not true. I have heard though that the iPhone mirrors the phone on the nav screen with Apple carplay. Is there any way of adding apps to Android auto, I don't think so but it's worth a shot

Thanks

Not my experience with Android Auto. You just get the app on your infotainment screen.

Once you are running Android Auto connected to the display you can access any Android Auto compatible app that you also have installed on your phone. For example, I primarily use Waze and Spotify, both controlled from the infotainment screen in the car.

A full list of compatible apps can be found here:

I'm surprised that Torque doesn't have an Android Auto plugin. I've been using that app for a couple of years on my Subaru. You just reminded me to checking this out on the C7.

I use Torque Pro, too. AA support would be very cool.
