First use

Before using the app for the first time, grant the contacts and location permission. This can only be done on the phone, not via the Android Auto interface.

How to use

  1. On Android Auto, start the navigation app you intent to use.
    E.g. Google Maps, Flitsmeister, Sygic.
    (This is needed as the navigation will be started in the most recently used navigation app)

  2. Search for a contact.
    Note: You can only use the keyboard when the car is parked!
    A maximum of 6 search results can be shown at a time.
    When there is no search-query entered, it will show some 'starred' contacts.
    You can star/unstar contacts via the contact-app on your phone.

  3. Select the correct address.
    (Contacts can have multiple addresses)

  4. Click navigate.
    This will start navigation in you most recently used navigation app.
