Android auto

Hello,

Can anyone explain why Android auto is not allowed on Samsung tablets?

Android Auto needs cell connectivity to work. Almost all tablets are wifi only.

My s9+ is the cellular version but it's still not available.

Interesting...have you tried to side load android auto to your tablet?

[userT07tcM23gP]

It worked until the latest update.

Nope..seems since Android 10, AA is a system app and won't side load unless the device is rooted. Looks like it's a Google thing

There are some threads on XDA forum discussing this issue

Android auto is an annoyance anyway. I find it much easier to just turn on Google Maps or Waze on my phone and let it run. I dont even need to see the screen, just turn it upside down with the speaker sticking out of my purse. And if I need to see the screen, my car has an old school phone cradle.
