You don't provide much detail here but I use a USB-C adapter so that I can plug my phone into the port inside the central box. Very cheap on eBay.moconnor10 wrote: βSun Jan 09, 2022 11:13 am Hi All i have no idea how to get Android Auto on my puma Stline.

When i go into settings on my touchscreen there is no function for Android Auto - must i connect my smartphone first via usb
What phone, make, model and year?
To answer your question, yes, just plug it into the usb port, either one will do.

I believe so, you must for CarPlay or buy a wireless adapter. Iβm sure I will be corrected if wrong

@maconner10 I have Sammy A70 and connects fine, DON'T use car WiFi as it's very expensive, free trial with Vodafone only gives you a couple of GB then you're charged massively for excess, use usb-c port and Android auto
As previously said by peeps usb port under armrest is USB-c and keeps your mobile under cover too while connecting/charging, Android auto comes up automatically when you hook up.
