Android Auto SEAT 2021 Demonstration Multimedia System

Android Auto SEAT 2021 Demonstration Multimedia System

---------------------------------

More and more drivers want their smartphone to be an integral part of their vehicle. Systems like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto have made it their goal to enable this type of car connectivity. Thanks to compatibility with Android Auto ™ and Apple CarPlay ™, Full Link from SEAT covers both Android and iOS devices.

Full Link makes the smartphone surface appear in the car display, so that app control via the dashboard is very easy. In this way, for example, the desired songs from the Internet can be played via streaming apps via the car's audio system or voice control and telephone functions can be used from the steering wheel. Countless other applications and features can thus be designed and easily integrated into vehicles.

With the current developments in digitization, the relevance of connectivity in vehicles is increasing significantly: ultimately, car connectivity means the integration of a car into the growing Internet of Things. This opens up countless new possibilities for vehicles that are to be made usable via Full Link. The constantly developing industry standards, in particular for communication, control and production, serve to implement this. In the future, many processes for the control, maintenance and repair as well as the energy supply of vehicles will be automated.

Particularly interested in automotive infotainment as an integration of services:
music, communication, Navigation using real-time traffic information, Car information, With new technologies and innovative developments in the smartphone and automotive industries, attempts are made to continue to meet customer expectations. This enables high-speed internet for uninterrupted web radio and surfing, remote diagnostics in the event of breakdowns and optional dispatch of repair services are emerging, and mobile services will in future be able to react to the needs and position of the driver and vehicle.

In order to be able to implement current and future services, a merging of on-board and operating systems is necessary, which is to be further promoted by SEAT's full link technology. In this way, interfaces for operating trolley and communication functions are standardized. In particular, the market is already familiar with mobile access to e-mails and contacts as well as to some apps.

The increasing integration of cloud and on-board services, in future probably also across brands, should in the long term even allow drivers to be digitally accompanied when changing vehicles. In the future, the seats, steering wheel and mirrors in the newly acquired vehicle should be able to assume the best possible positions. This is a relief especially for drivers who frequently switch between various family, company or rental vehicles. In order to develop such a car connectivity, however, the possibilities for smartphones must be created to communicate with the vehicle's on-board system when approaching a vehicle. This allows appropriate access to the vehicle hardware and a reaction from the car, whereby individual, personal settings can be transferred to the car.

Android Auto from Google Inc. is already networking Android smartphones with infotainment systems in cars. In this way, the respective end device can be operated via the vehicle system and uses car functions for its services. SEAT already supports Android Auto via Full Link, so that a connection to the vehicle's infotainment can be easily established.

The corresponding counterpart for the iOS operating system is Apple CarPlay. Apple networks its iPhones with communication systems in vehicles, for example to put a caller's voice on the on-board loudspeakers. In the medium term, however, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be seen to converge under the ever-increasing market pressure towards connected cars. The connective Full Link technology integrates the smartphone into your vehicle via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. If this is connected to the on-board infotainment system by a cable, the apps that are compatible with Full Link can be easily controlled via the screen of the infotainment system.

Hi, just one note: For SEAT LEON 2021 Reference / Standard equipment version in Europe, it is not possible to activate Android Auto (even if you try to buy "Full Link for Media System" -upgrade) although you can see on the infotainment screen "please contact your local dealer". I wonder if key managers in SEAT have decided or will decide to allow this very important option for SEAT LEON owners...

Thanks for a great video. Do you know how to make the car not autoconnect to wireless AA by default? If I exit AA before turning the car off, AA will not auto connect when the car is turned on again. But if you turn off the car with AA on it will automaticly reconnect next time you turn the car on. I want to choose when to connect everytime. In AA options you cant find this specific option (it referers to the car`s setting) and I cant find this setting in FullLink options on the car. Thank you!

I bought a new SEAT arona - the system interface looks identical but it forces me to use cable - why is that? how do i do it wirelessly ?

[MURRYCHOOCK]

I have the same Infotainment system but it dosen't work wireless with my new Samsung Android 12. Only by USB cable. Could this be an option available only in certain countries?

Do you need to have a subscription to the dataplan of Seat? I connected with the bluetooth and the wifi hotspot of my Seat Leon but can only listen wireless to my music and make wireless calls. All the rest still needs cable

Hi, I received my Seat Leon in November I don't have this feature, I just came from the Seat store and they told me that Leon doesn't have yet this feature and we have to wait an update.
The new Seat Ateca have this feature.
