Why does tesla not have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support? Well, we will never know. The thing here is tesla wants its users to make use of its services, navigation and infotainment system. Granted you can play games while charging up your Tesla. But then, having Android Auto is beneficial since you get to use the best maps service – Google Maps for navigation. There is, however, a way to get Android Auto working on a Tesla. Let’s take a look at it.
How to get Android Auto on Tesla
A developer that goes by the name of AAWireless has found a way to get Android Auto access on any Tesla. However, the Tesla should have Hardware Acceleration on its infotainment system for it to be able to work perfectly. This means any display from Tesla that can play Netflix videos will be able to use this Android Auto feature easily. The app itself is in its early stages. It lets you adjust the DPI and resolution of the output on the Tesla’s display. You shouldn’t expect more features in the first release of the app. The developer does need to see things function and then slowly might even ad features. But for now, it’s in a test phase and should work for most people.
Conclusion
So, yes you can run Android Auto on a Tesla, but not natively. There could be a few issues, glitches, and some lag when using Google Maps on the browser of your Tesla. Well, it’s fair enough for the app to be paid as the developer is working hard to get the best out of what can be used on a Tesla. So, if you have or know people that have an Android device and a tesla, you can recommend them to purchase the app and try it out for themselves. Related Stuff –
