Navigation - Google Maps & Waze

These display on your new radio touchscreen, and are controlled by radio touchscreen or voice control (OK Google). You navigate to a destination by name using voice, rather than typing in a postcode. For example, simply say "OK Google, Navigate to the Trafford Centre" to navigate there, rather than having to get your phone out, find the postcode and then type it in and hope your maps are up to date (Maps are free and up to date using Google Maps or Waze).


Traffic info is included for free, along with Speed cameras

Messaging - WhatsApp, Messenger, Hangouts


While driving, Android Auto will notify you of an incoming message from your favourite Android messaging apps. If you press the notification, the radio will dictate your incoming message aloud through the car speakers (this may not be good if children are present!!). Once you've heard the message, you can send your reply by voice, which is dictated back to you before it's sent
