inserted into the USB port and it is
connected to my Android™ Smart‐

not been downloaded to your An‐
droid™ Smartphone.
To use Android Auto™ with your
vehicle, the Android Auto™ appli‐
cation is required on your An‐

mode.
The error message, “Mobile device

Smartphone from the USB terminal
once, and then reconnect it.
The icon of the application I want to
