I bought a 2021 PP. without GPS, was told "ohhh so easy to connect phone with link to see google maps on screen in car. Last week or so it worked 2-3 times, page connected seemed ok. Then I destroyed my phone by accident got a new one with win 10 android and it won't find AA on playstore at all. I side loaded it from the net and no go. It was an older version not worth a hoot. Then in searching I read google will stop supporting AA totally in lieu of their Maps Program taking over. All I want to do is see my phone on the monitor in the car. Can someone please explain what is going wrong? Yes I have tried the OEM usb cord several others yada yada yada. if this is a defect that causes me to lose use of the system as sold,then houston we have a problem. any advice here??

Android Auto is no longer a separate app. When you download it from the Play Store it is installed as part of the Android OS. You can search the settings of your phone for android auto. It may just be a matter of enabling it in settings and then connecting it to your vehicles in dash usb cord.

It's confusing. Google discontinued the "Android Auto for Phone screen" app which was needed for older versions of Android. Android Auto is now embedded into Android and is access via the phone's Settings (versus a dedicated app icon in the app library). It still gets updated via Google Play store as though it were a separate app. Just go into Settings and do a search for android auto.
