Android Auto isn’t just for cars. You can also have it on your motorcycle and it’s easier than it seems. You need an external display compatible with motorcycles and this will be the one to which you connect your mobile phone with Android Auto wirelessly. We offer you a few options.
What to consider before putting Android Auto on the motorcycle
These days, very few motorcycle models have a screen compatible with Android Auto, so the only possible way to add support is via an external screen. Just as there are accessories like external screens for using Android Auto in the car, there are also those for the motorcycle, with their own docking modes.
Obviously, these screens must be firmly attached so that they do not become an obstacle while driving or interfere with vehicle components. Its use is the equivalent of an external GPS: to consult while driving but not to manipulate directly.
