My '18 C has the Apple, Android multimedia option to use the Nav and google assistant. How does it work? What do I need to do to set it up?

 

1. If Android - download and install Android Auto on your phone 1st - have USB connecting cable for your phone/insert into USB port showing "phones" next to it - plug phone in - start car and start up center stereo/Audio 20 - your Anroid auto should start-up 1st time... follow the prompts on the screen... when in doubt go to mbusa.com website - unders Owners - download pdf Owner's Manual

 

what does stereo/Audio 20 mean? I thought under media?

 

Download your manual - mbusa.com - under owner's section

 

I have the manual in my hand and downloaded. When I search for android nothing comes up. I read about Audio 20 as well as multimedia. I have my phone hooked up via BT works without issues its just unable to get the android maps on the display using Android auto. I have it plugged into the usb icon with a phone image.

 

You need to select Android Auto from the telephone menu.

 

i will try that. i thought it was media thanks

 

Note. There are usually two manuals. An owners manual (for the car) and a command manual (for the multimedia system).

I don't have a command system with nav just auto play. The telephone menu worked to get the Android auto to work. Thanks alot.

 

He says only the second USB slot with the phone icon will work.

 

I have a similar issue in that Android Auto just does not pop up after plugging in my Android phone. I have a 2018 GLC 300.

I know I have smartphone integration because Apple Carplay works just fine.

When I connect my Samsung S9, however, nothing pops up. There is no option seen on the radio menu.

I do have a SD Nav installed. I removed it just to see, but still no Android Auto option. (I do not need to remove the SD Nav for CarPlay to initiate).

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Oh wait, just watched the video in the above posts. Maybe I need to activate it first through the phone menu.

EDIT2: Derp derp, of course that was it. It's different in other manufacturers where you just plug and go.
