How To Add Android Auto™ To Your OEM Stereo
Are you an Android smartphone user who is dealing with connectivity issues in your vehicle? If you have a factory stereo and want to use your Android Auto functions through the OEM audio system, you're not alone. Now, how can you make that happen?
Buying a whole new head unit would do the job - but that's an expensive upgrade that will require tools and knowledge that typically only enthusiasts possess. A better option is the SmartAuto Package from ISS Automotive.
If you've got a Buick, GMC, Nissan, Audi, Cadillac, or Chevy vehicle with a factory stereo that can't connect to your Android, the SmartAuto System from ISS Automotive will give you the Bluetooth connectivity you want.

Staying connected while you're on the road is not just a luxury - it's a priority. Let's explore a few of the reasons why every Android user should consider Android Auto connectivity a must-have.
Distraction-Free Driving
The road to safer driving starts with hands-free functionality. Android Auto integration enables you to take calls without holding the phone, use voice-to-text messaging, and command Alexa or Google Assistant for various tasks. This helps you remain focused on the road, reducing the urge to glance at your phone.
Intuitive Display
Integrating your smartphone with Android Auto means you'll see your well-known app interface and prompts on the infotainment screen. This familiar display makes navigation easier, minimizing distractions. Plus, with your Android's memory of user habits, your top destinations and most-used apps are always within easy reach.
Customized Music Collection
Smartphones aren't just phones – they're pocket-sized entertainment centers. Your Android houses a unique mix of songs, podcasts, and audiobooks that are your personal favs. With the SmartAuto system, you can connect with all this content. Forget searching for radio stations or using an additional external music device. Streaming services like Audible, Spotify, or Amazon Music are also easily accessible, so you won't miss a beat.
Enhanced Driving Apps
There are numerous apps available to Android users that aim to uplift your driving journey. But using them without syncing to your car's system doesn't make much sense. Apps designed to assist in parking or offering real-time weather and traffic updates shine brighter when routed through your infotainment system.
Seamless Navigation
Popular navigation tools such as Google Maps and Waze offer detailed directions and live traffic news. When you connect with Android Auto, these navigational cues play directly through the car's speakers, allowing for clear guidance without losing focus on driving.
SmartAuto Is Compatible With Android Auto™ And Apple CarPlay®
Not an Android User? Prefer an iPhone instead? No problem. SmartAuto is equipped to work seamlessly with BOTH Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. If you ever decide to switch up your phone game, SmartAuto is ready to play. If you're dealing with the irritation that comes with no connectivity, visit ISS Automotive and find the SmartAuto package that fits your vehicle now!
