1
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:08,970
- [Narrator] Hey, let's
talk about synchronizing

2
00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:10,500
to the automobile.

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:15,270
Here, we have an automobile
that is Android Auto

4
00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:18,690
and Apple CarPlay compliant,

5
00:00:18,690 --> 00:00:21,120
and it has those features built

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,970
into the computer system here.

7
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:27,990
Now, first of all, you can
connect through Bluetooth alone,

8
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:31,233
if you want to take care
of voice calls and texting.

9
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:34,410
So we go to our settings,

10
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:35,703
then Bluetooth,

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,980
and then we'd wanna make
sure that Bluetooth is on.

12
00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:43,350
You can also set up a pairing code,

13
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:45,420
those four pin pairing codes

14
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:47,370
that I talked about before.

15
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:49,440
Could set up wifi.

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,880
But as far as Bluetooth goes,

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,490
you wanna make sure that that is on.

18
00:00:53,490 --> 00:00:55,560
And then you would go through the process,

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,810
as I showed in the previous video,

20
00:00:57,810 --> 00:01:00,450
connecting the smartphone or other device

21
00:01:00,450 --> 00:01:05,070
to Bluetooth for the automobile.

22
00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:06,450
If we go to Bluetooth here,

23
00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:09,030
we'll see that it is on,

24
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:10,650
and if we go to the device list,

25
00:01:10,650 --> 00:01:12,840
we'll see a couple of different phones

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,540
that have been connected
via Bluetooth already.

27
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:17,160
This one here is the V30,

28
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,790
that's the default name for
this particular smartphone.

29
00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:21,990
So, we are connected,

30
00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:26,040
so if we wanna do anything as
far as voice calls or texting,

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,560
you'll have your buttons
on the steering column

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,123
as shown here for voice
activated controls.

33
00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:36,600
And that's just Bluetooth.

34
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,620
Mainly what I want to get into
for this video is connecting

35
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:43,680
via Android Auto for this vehicle.

36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,450
Now you can have a smartphone connection,

37
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:49,053
and you can have your connectivity
with the mobile device.

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,660
So we'll connect our
USB for the smartphone

39
00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:57,510
to the automobile.

40
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:59,970
The other end just goes
to a Type-A connector.

41
00:01:59,970 --> 00:02:04,350
And any car that is
compatible with Apple CarPlay

42
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:07,410
or Android Auto will have
that type of connector,

43
00:02:07,410 --> 00:02:09,720
one or more of those.

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,060
And you could see it changes
from smartphone connection

45
00:02:12,060 --> 00:02:13,500
to Androi Auto.

46
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:14,910
And that's what we want.

47
00:02:14,910 --> 00:02:16,620
The smartphone is changed.

48
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:19,710
We'll tap on Android Auto and
that brings up the program,

49
00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:22,080
and it brings us to a home screen

50
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,900
that shows us how long
it'll take to get home,

51
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:27,513
our weather, music that's
playing, and so on.

52
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:33,470
And you have your options
here, maps, phone, music apps.

53
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:36,930
Those are the main things
that we would use it for,

54
00:02:36,930 --> 00:02:38,280
as well as texting.

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,270
And here on the smartphone,
we see it says Android Auto

56
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:47,040
and it locks the phone, but we
can unlock it by swiping up.

57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,350
And then we could actually use the phone

58
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:52,350
in addition to the screen in the vehicle.

59
00:02:52,350 --> 00:02:54,570
Of course, you only wanna
do that when you're parked,

60
00:02:54,570 --> 00:02:56,610
not when you're driving.

61
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,820
And this is as long as you
have a multitasking phone.

62
00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:01,443
So, definitely cool stuff here.

63
00:03:02,340 --> 00:03:03,930
You can switch back and forth

64
00:03:03,930 --> 00:03:07,320
between the automobile's main system

65
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,710
and its navigation and
Bluetooth connection for phone

66
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:12,570
and so on in the settings,

67
00:03:12,570 --> 00:03:14,463
or go back to Android Auto.

68
00:03:16,170 --> 00:03:19,140
So this is more considered screen sharing,

69
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:22,020
as opposed to synchronization.

70
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:26,010
It is syncing the computer
system to the phone,

71
00:03:26,010 --> 00:03:28,080
but it's really more a screen sharing.

72
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,600
We have a bigger screen
that we can utilize

73
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,570
as a touch screen with our phone.

74
00:03:33,570 --> 00:03:36,720
And you may notice that the
phone is just dim right now.

75
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,760
If you're wondering how I did that,

76
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,300
I did that in the developer
options in Android.

77
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:45,633
So I can still see it a
little bit while driving,

78
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:50,550
but generally you want to use
the big screen to be safe.

79
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:53,550
And if you do go to your home button,

80
00:03:53,550 --> 00:03:56,823
that'll bring up that lock
screen for Android Auto.

81
00:03:58,170 --> 00:04:00,330
So that's a little bit
of the connectivity.

82
00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:02,430
Now, again, to make this happen,

83
00:04:02,430 --> 00:04:03,660
you have to have a couple things.

84
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:06,930
One, the automobile has to be compliant.

85
00:04:06,930 --> 00:04:10,020
So the computer has to be compliant

86
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:12,822
with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay,

87
00:04:12,822 --> 00:04:15,150
you have to have the touch screen

88
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:17,130
or you can install a head unit

89
00:04:17,130 --> 00:04:20,970
into an automobile that doesn't have this.

90
00:04:20,970 --> 00:04:25,140
Then, your smartphone has to
have Android Auto installed

91
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:27,900
or an Apple device has
to have Apple CarPlay.

92
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:31,203
And then you wanna use
a quality USB cable.

93
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:35,040
In this case, usually you want to go

94
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,170
with the manufacturer's cable.

95
00:04:37,170 --> 00:04:41,190
In this case, I'm using
a USB-C connection,

96
00:04:41,190 --> 00:04:42,870
and this is from a third party.

97
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:45,930
But I have used third
party cables in the past

98
00:04:45,930 --> 00:04:48,210
where it doesn't really work so well.

99
00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:50,070
So that's a little bit about connectivity

100
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:51,330
to the automobile.

101
00:04:51,330 --> 00:04:53,283
And that's it for this video.
