Google has recently updated the list of countries where Android Auto can work wirelessly, adding a dozen new regions in Europe, Australia, and India.
As many drivers already discovered, Android Auto is quite a handy solution behind the wheel, mostly because it makes using apps like Google Maps and Waze a lot more convenient given the bigger screen in cars.
But at the same time, using the full feature package of Android Auto also comes down to other things like the country you live in and the mobile device that you own, as only a limited number of regions and devices are actually supported both for the wired and the wireless version.
The latest countries that now work with wireless Android Auto include Australia, Austria, Germany, France, Italy, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom (you can find the full list in the table at the end of the article).
Even if your country isn’t on the list, it doesn’t mean you can’t use Android Auto. All you need to do is download the Android Auto APK installer on your device, install the app manually, and then set it up in your car by following the wizard on the screen.
Of course, Android Auto not being officially supported in a country means you’re losing a few things, such as a localized version of the app, but since English is the common common choice anyway, you can very well stick to it to use Android Auto normally.
As for what devices you can use for wireless Android Auto, the options here are pretty limited, and only include Google’s very own Pixel models and Samsung flagships like the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S series. Any other Android phone requires a wired connection to run Android Auto.
