Does Android Auto work on the Kosher Qin Phone?

Yes. Here's how Android Auto works on this phone and what you need.

Yes. Android Auto comes pre-installed on the Kosher Qin Phone. It lets you use navigation, music and calls on your car’s screen.

How it works on this phone

Android Auto normally expects some Google apps that our filter doesn’t allow. We solve this in two ways:

  • “Needs the Google app” → install Android Auto Helper from the Kosher Qin Phone app. It’s made by Kosher Qin Phone, it’s free, and it’s in every phone’s app store.

  • “Needs Google Maps” → install Google Maps from your app store. If Google Maps isn’t in your store, use the Allow Android Auto Without Maps switch in the Kosher Qin Phone app’s Tools page.

What you need

  • Everything up to date in the Kosher Qin Phone app (Updates tab), including Android Auto and Google Play Services

  • Full permissions and Special app access for Android Auto and Google Play Services

  • A USB-C data cable. A cable is more reliable than wireless.

Full steps: How do I set up Android Auto?

Good to know

  • Voice commands (“Hey Google”) are not available.

  • Android Auto shows only pre-installed apps unless you turn on Unknown sources. See An app is missing from my car screen in Android Auto.

  • Android Auto settings are at Settings → Connected devices → Connection preferences → Android Auto.

  • If your Kosher Qin Phone app has no Account tab, your phone is on our older system. Upgrade info is at kosherqinphone.com/upgrade.
