Thanks to software such as Android Auto, managing the smartphone while behind the wheel is much more accessible, simple and safe. This is because Google’s smart navigation software guarantees a connection with various sections of the phone that you can control from the car screen.
One of the main intentions of mobile phone manufacturers is to provide the user with new ways that give them a more comfortable and bearable life through technology. That is why one of the novelties that the new version of this application brings with it is the possibility of opening the car without the need to use the key.
Very limited exclusivity
Without a doubt, this is very good news for those who use this service from the American company, but not everything could be so beautiful. The brand has confirmed that only certain terminals will be able to use their device as a key.
Specifically, we are talking about the recent Google Pixel 6 and Samsung Galaxy S21. It is not known for sure if the list will be extended in the future. If you pay attention, you will realize that both already have Android 12 and its news. For this reason, there is a modicum of hope in thinking that this property could be coming to more phones in the near future.
However, this does not end here and it is that only some models of the BMW brand are compatible with this added functionality. This limits excessively the number of users who will use this new tool.
Open your car easily
The truth is that this particularity that has landed on Android Auto does not hold much mystery, since its operation is quite simple. Just by keeping the mobile’s NFC activated and bringing it closer to a specific area of the car, the doors will be unlocked.
In addition, with the arrival of Android 12 there is also the possibility of giving someone else your keys. In this way, both of you will share it. A really useful power if you have a mutual car with your partner or family member.
Accompanying Features
This isn’t the only first to come to Android Auto. In fact, Google has incorporated other improvements to make the dirty work easier for the user. Proof of this is the automatic start of the application, which you can configure from the screen settings.
Another interesting addition is the intelligent responses , which allow a navigation full of security. These show the driver possible responses based on the message received. The best thing about this property is that the company has announced that you can create your own fully custom responses.
The latest to come to Android Auto is an easier way to listen to music thanks to a button that will always remain active on the screen ready to be pressed. With it you can perform a more direct search for the song you want to listen to or tell the system through your voice.
These improvements are intended to improve the work of the user’s driving and guarantee a completely safe trip , as it is one of the priorities of the manager of the world’s largest search engine.
