Although custom consists in finding screens in the cars that make up the different infotainment systems, such as Android Auto, Apple Carplay or others, or failing that we can also install them, on a motorcycle for their characteristics. However, there are also screens on the market to Install Android Auto MotorcycleIn the same way as a mobile support can be placed.
But beware when we install a screen because we can take an aversion even despite a firm assembly following the instructions: that the installation does not respect the laws of the DGT And take a fine for his placement in the car.
On the motorcycle, the space is smaller and more exposed, so the question is more film if possible: This is how the DGT says you have to mount a screen with Android Auto on motorcycles and cyclomotor.
Before you start: what the DGT says about use
Article 76 of the traffic law, the circulation of motor vehicles and general road safety and applicable to details of motorcycles and cars “These are serious offenses, when they are not constitutive of the crime (…) Drive manually using mobile telephony devices under conditions other than those above, by manually driving using browsers or any other media or communication system.“”
So here we have the first premise: We cannot touch the screen while we drive And apply both motorcycles and cars. If they surprise us to break this section, we can receive a fine of 200 dollars and withdraw from three to six points.
More specifically, it refers to mobile devices and other such as communication systems, browsers or screen with the vehicle and eye-exploration system because not only with use, Just get caught with the device in hand. As for the distractions of the presence of devices, the fine is 100 dollars.
The second issue comes from the modification of law 18/2021 on traffic, circulation of motor vehicles and road safety, in particular at point six concerning the modification of sections 3 and 6 of article 13.
“… use during mobile phone devices, browsers or any other means or communication system is prohibited, except when the development of communication takes place Without using hands or using headphones, headphones or similar instruments. The use of Certified or approved wireless devices for use in the protection helmet Motorcycle and moped engines, for communication or navigation purposes, provided they do not have the safety of driving.“”
According to the previous point, we are clear that we cannot handle the device, so the option of handling via Android Auto voice commands, for which we will need a Wireless device certified in the helmet.
The law is clear on the assembly of screens

Returning to the traffic law, the circulation of motor vehicles and road safety, more specifically to article 13.2, it is specified that “The driver of a vehicle is forced to maintain his own freedom of movements, the necessary field of vision and permanent attention to driving, which guarantee their own security, that of the rest of the occupants of the vehicle and that of other road users“.
So, although there is no clear specification on the place to mount it, yes on the way: which does not hinder the field of vision or movementIn the same way that our attention can turn away. Eive because in this case, there is no support approved by the DGT, it will be enough to comply with the previous premises. That said and for obvious reasons, it is interesting that it is a firm support for proof of movements and bad weather.
