No. Android Auto does not work on every Android phone. Wired use requires Android 9.0 (Pie) or later and an active data plan; Android (Go edition) devices are not supported. Wireless use has additional phone and 5 GHz Wi-Fi requirements. In either case, the car or receiver must also support Android Auto.
Check whether your phone meets the requirements
The requirements depend on whether you plan to connect by USB or wirelessly. Google’s Android Auto requirements are the reference to check for your exact phone and region, since supported devices and country availability may change.

Confirm that your car supports Android Auto
The car’s USB port alone is not enough: Google notes that Android Auto does not work in every car equipped with one. Check the exact vehicle model and trim with the manufacturer, or verify that an aftermarket receiver supports Android Auto. Google’s compatibility guidance can help identify supported cars and receivers.

Troubleshoot a connection that does not work
- Check compatibility first. Confirm the phone, connection type, country, and exact car or receiver all meet the relevant requirements. A cable cannot make an unsupported phone or vehicle compatible.
- For USB problems, try another cable. Use a high-quality cable under 1 metre, connect directly without a hub or extension, and try a replacement if a previously working connection has stopped. Google’s USB troubleshooting guidance explains cable checks.
- For wireless problems, repeat initial pairing. Keep Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Location Services on, and do the setup while parked with the infotainment system on.
- Check the car’s settings. Verify Android Auto is enabled in the infotainment system. If you use an aftermarket receiver, check its maker’s site for firmware updates.
- Escalate unresolved issues. Google advises checking device and connection compatibility or contacting the vehicle manufacturer.
