Google Maps navigation with Android Auto

[x43D24WD]

Does the Macan EV have Android Auto connectivity? I understand the infortainment system has been bulit on Android Automotive OS but I guess it doesn't mean there is Android Auto connectivity available for Android Phones.

I know CarPlay is ready so iOS users can use Google Maps navigation through CarPlay by using the built-in display for Google Maps navigation, but do we know we can do the same through Android Auto, with Android phones?

For what I know yes, you can use your android phones to activate Android Auto on the Macan.

Thank you! I haven't seen that in action, like in reviews on YouTube or else, and I couldn't find the fact anywhere so wanted to get thoughts or actual experience by someone who already got the car in other regions.

I think that somebody with android phone will confirm what I wrote (I'm an Apple iPhone user but when I went to a presentation the guy from Porsche who showed me the PCM had an Android phone connected to the car)

That's a big yes..

That's a big yes.. bit of a pain in the ass to get it initially linked, but a car restart made it happen. Seems flawless so far. Equal or better than my BMW X5 as far as engagement. PMC has two icon on left to switch between Pirsche HUDnavigation and Android Auto HUD nav. Seems to work flawlessly so far on our somewhat limited intial milage. More this week(end).

Thank you so much for your comment here! Glad to hear that. Was it possible to connect wirelessly or needs physical cable connection to activate it?

Shockingly Bluetooth and wireless works, but needed a car restart ( shutdown, lock, unlock, start) to get it fully running even though we had intial good pairing. BT is somewhat of an intial tussle with many devices beside the Macan.
