I'm here at Google i/o taking a look at the Android auto implementation in the all-new Audi q7 earlier this week we saw an Android auto implementation in the Hyundai Sonata but that used a touchscreen the unique thing about outtie is we have an indirect controller instead of a touchscreen with an Android phone plugged into the car I've got that on the console here I'm looking at the main screen that I'd see in an Audi automobile if I push down on my main controller here I enter my android auto interface in this interface I've got a row of icons across the bottom of the screen and I can scroll through them with this dial so I get navigation phone a main menu audio and then a set of other apps that can be a lot of different apps that the automaker can implement to the car so with navigation for example I can just use the voice command button and ask for any destination in Google Maps and it'll use the Google cloud interface to look up that destination and then offer me navigation to it using this system here that's actually powered by the phone instead of the navigation system that's powered by the car so right now it's showing some tiles such as it thinks I have a flight departing from SFO so it tells me about that that's from my calendar so this is a slightly different implementation of Android auto than we've seen in the other cars just use the indirect controller but it all works very smoothly it's pretty impressive right now they tell me the screen isn't quite filling the entire LCD here so once this goes on sale later this year we'll see that fully implemented I'm Wayne Cunningham Christina
