what's going on guys long hair from Android authority and we got a chance to check out the Chevrolet event in Detroit Michigan also known as the Motor City and the reason for our visit is because Chevrolet is showing their dedication to Android auto by bringing Android auto to 14 different vehicles in the upcoming year in 2016 and we got a chance to go hands-on with one of the most affordable vehicles the Chevrolet Spark Chevy spark we're gonna look at the foam projection technology here which is we're gonna start with Android auto here so we plugged in this device plugged into USB so we're cabled in so we're gonna get all the communication and the the charging of the phone through there there's your your android screen and it comes up and what we're doing right now is we're we've provided an interface so that you can work with Android auto so the data is gonna come from your phone and then going through your either your cellular connection that you've got on your phone or in our cars that are capable of 4G LTE you can also Wi-Fi pair this phone to the OnStar and get your data coming through there but the music and the content is all gonna come from the phone and you're projecting it up on the screen here so we start in the first year you've got Google Maps in here you can you know go in and put an entry in here for a destination you can set that to wherever you want to go it'll it'll pull up the map and then you're running for that shirt take me home take me home you don't have a home address safe so yeah testimony I was wondering if her home was gonna be where you try another one maybe Comerica Park or something Comerica Park here is Comerica Park across the line and we're looking at some 7 inch displays that's what you're featuring in this car you'll see in the car this evening we do have some vehicles that'll have the 8 inch MyLink system as well that's a really accessible price point for a lot of people yes so this is a Chevy spark right this is kind of our entry-level vehicle and what we're trying to get at here and bring in things like Android auto and also car play into here's we're offering these on cars that really at that price point you're bringing quite a value in right you've got the ability now to pull up navigation on the screen you can bring in the music the content on star capability 4G LTE you could bring all of that into the vehicle here at really a quite an incredible price point into the market then you also have the capabilities to do steering wheel controls here you can launch into voice rect yeah it'll pull it up over there and you can make your commands there so same thing on the Android auto and on car play I mean the idea is to connect your phone and set it down right we don't want people doing texting on the phone the idea is the text messages the phone calls you can do through voice you can do it through the screen here put the phone down connect it once set it down and you're good to go there's no actions you'll need to take on the phone signs and stuff so in addition to the things we've already offered on there I think from infotainment before is added on and I think customers really going to like this to be honest I add the infotainment systems got me really pumped up here but I personally drove a 16 Corvette sitting out in the parking lot convertible pretty happy about that one right now we could talk all right well thanks great thanks a lot - she ate it
