2020 Android Auto

Maybe dumb question. Is there a way to get head unit to automatically default to Android Auto instead of having to go into settings and select it everytime phone is connected? Thanks. Bob

 

Do you have the Android Auto app on your phone?

 

Yes. It works. But I have to select it everytime on headunit.

 

When I plug my Samsung s10+ in it automatically goes to AA except my Pandora. Pandora plays but I have to tell it to play through AA just to get the option of thumbs up really. My Google maps pops up as soon as I plug in.

 

I have same phone. Does the head unit automatically go to Android Auto. Thanks

 

I have music on left side of screen and maps on right. It goes straight to Google maps and starts playing music from Pandora without me having to turn on Pandora with my phone. Now when I press the music screen to make it full screen it looks like I am only pared with Bluetooth but I press AA on the screen and to goes to Pandora through AA. I can tell even though the screen looks like it's Bluetooth that it is connected because the sound is louder through AA than just Bluetooth and like I said all I have to do is hit play and it will play without me having to turn on Pandora on my phone, matter of fact when I look at my phone it doesn't even show Pandora as an open app. Once I make the screen full music and press "Play through AA" the screen changes and allows me to give thumbs up/down, change stations, skip songs, do voice text, etc. There is a TSB 0161-19 for "Audio Head Unit Software Update". Somewhere you on your head unit you can see what software file you are running, the new one is
DCU 17TDT2NA-DA30
MEU 17TMT2NA-DA50

 

Thanks. In order for me to see Google maps on headunit I have to go into setup and click android auto everytime. Dealership has no clue. Bummer. But again, thank you. Bob

 

OK. I uninstalled and reinstalled android auto on my phone. Seemed to do the trick. Thanks

 

Bumping this thread for some help. First time android auto user with new

$280 Alpine ILX-w650 Digital Multimedia Receiver with CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility

Alpine ILX-w650. I can make calls just fine but incoming calls will not work with bluetooth. I've tried unpairing the devices. I've tried all the settings that exist. Nothing works.

 

Did anyone ever figure out if you can swap a 2020 Tundra radio into a previous year and make this work?
