Android Auto is a great convenient feature to use while driving your car, but in some cases, the phone might not connect. In this article, we will explore a fix on how to connect OnePlus 12 to use Android Auto feature.
What Is Android Auto and How Does It Work
Android Auto, first introduced by Google in 2015, is a fantastic tool that brings the power of your smartphone to your car’s dashboard. It’s like having a smart co-pilot that helps you navigate, communicate, and stay entertained while keeping your eyes on the road. As someone who’s used it extensively, I can tell you it’s a game-changer for long drives and daily commutes alike.
The magic of Android Auto lies in its ability to mirror your phone’s key features onto your car’s infotainment system. When you connect your Android phone to a compatible car, either via USB or wirelessly, it creates a simplified version of your phone’s interface on the car’s display. This allows you to access navigation, music, messaging, and more, all optimized for in-car use. It’s designed to minimize distractions, using large icons and voice commands to keep your focus where it should be – on driving.
Android Auto Connection errors and steps to fix it
Users have reported connectivity issues with Android Auto on OnePlus 12 phones despite its usefulness. A few common reasons could be due to incorrect USB configuration settings, outdated Android Auto app/OS, incompatible or faulty USB cables or straight-up car compatibility issues.
To fix these issues on your OnePlus 12, follow these steps:
1. While most phones automatically detect and connect to android auto, a few devices such as OnePlus is set to charging only. Such an error upon connecting to the car shows, ‘The connected USB device is not supported’.
2. For this, simply head to your phone, and locate the USB connected notification (set to charging only/charging this device via USB).
3. Next, open the menu and change the selection to Android Auto/File transfer. This will set the Android Auto service to function as usual.
To avoid setting this again and again, you can set it to default on Android Auto by toggling it in Developer settings.
