Google’s Android Auto in a Kia Soul



Kia Soul Paired with Android Auto System


Apple and Android have been locked in competition for years now, each one-upping the next with smart phones, tablets, and now vehicle infotainment systems. If you haven’t seen this technology yet, it’s pretty intriguing to see just how much a vehicle’s dashboard has been transformed. There will be a wide variety of makes and models to receive the new technology, but we’re especially excited to show you with the video below of a Kia Soul Paired with the Android Auto System.


According to statistics presented by Google, people on average spend about one hour in the car, and throughout the day check their phones approximately 125 times. It’s no wonder why 25% of accidents are due to distracted drivers playing around with their phones.

With your Android smartphone, just download any Android Auto apps. Once your phone is connected to your vehicle, it will go into “car mode” and all of the auto apps on your phone will be displayed on the screen which is located on your vehicle’s dash.


How it Looks:


Android wanted to keep things organized and understandable; that’s why they have taken the familiar layout of an Android phone, and modified it for a vehicle with four primary tabs: navigation, communication, music, and one with information about your vehicle.


What it Can Do:


No matter what vehicle you’re in, even if it’s not your own, as long as your phone is connected to the vehicle being driven, your music and message notifications will appear. You will be able to have your messages read back to you, and respond by using the microphone.


To actually see how the Android Auto System works when synced up to a Kia Soul, be sure to watch the video below. And if you’d like to try out an all-new Soul or any of the other vehicles in the Kia lineup, we would like to welcome you here to Briggs Kia for a test drive.
