connected to the vehicle via the USB
port, on the MTC+ screen in place of
“Phone” soft-key and in the source list
of “Media” screen you can find the
“Apple CarPlay” (example shown in
picture) or the “Android Auto” app
soft-key. “Android Auto” app needs to be downloaded on your mobile
device.
These applications use the MTC+
display as projector of the functions
available on the connected device.
“Apple CarPlay” allows the best use of
your iPhone ®
in the car and perfect
integration with the MTC + display
and with the controls of the car,
including Siri voice control. You can
make phone calls, access music, send
and receive messages, get real-time
directions on traffic conditions, all
while staying focused on the road.
The “Android Auto” app lets you
share information while driving and
make it easier to access Google. The
interface is equipped with Google
Maps with voice guided navigation,
traffic information in real time,
on-demand access to millions of songs
in Google Play Music. It also offers the possibility to make phone calls or send
and receive messages without taking
your hands off the steering wheel.
You can also request Google to make
any type of research. Android Auto
will give an easier access to
applications and content from the
MTC+ system display.
