Alright, let’s talk about how I got my phone screen to show up on my car’s display. I’ve been messing around with this thing called “Android Auto” to make it happen.
First off, I grabbed the “Android Auto” app from the Google Play Store. Turns out, if you’ve got a phone with Android 10 or newer, this app is already sitting there on your device. I checked, and yup, I had it.
Then came the fun part – connecting the phone to the car. I plugged my phone into the car’s USB port, and boom, Android Auto popped up on the car’s screen. But it wasn’t showing my phone’s screen yet, just some apps that work with Android Auto.
I did some digging and found out I needed another app called “AA Mirror”. I heard some people say it’s a malware app, but I searched the internet, and the result shows that it’s not a malware. I downloaded it, but I couldn’t find it anywhere in the Play Store, so I got it from some website I found. Installed it on my phone, no problem.
Once that was sorted, I went back to the car, fired up Android Auto, and there it was – an option for “AA Mirror”. Tapped it, and bam, my phone’s screen was right there on the car display. It was a bit laggy, not super smooth, but hey, it worked!
Now, I can see everything from my phone on the bigger car screen. Maps, messages, you name it. It’s pretty handy, especially for navigation.
But there’s a catch. Using the screen while driving isn’t the safest thing. I found myself fiddling with the screen a bit too much, which is obviously not good when you’re supposed to be watching the road.
So, here’s the deal: It’s cool that you can mirror your phone screen on your car, but be careful with it. It’s easy to get distracted, and that’s not what you want when you’re behind the wheel. Safety first, folks!
