Hi,
I just bought a GV80, and I love using it with my S20 Galaxy as a digital key.
I noticed that when I use the Samsung with Android Auto, google maps will use 1/4 of the screen. Whereas with my old iPhone X, Apple iCar uses the full screen.
I have a BMW M4, Android Auto uses the full screen.
Is this a bug from Genesis?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum @Abalgir. Do you have a photo of your screen that you can share? What else is on the screen? I don't have an android phone so I haven't experienced this.

Hi Kurt,
You will notice that the map app takes only part of the screen. Next to it, there is always a logo for the Android Auto that you can't remove.
With apple you can occupy the full screen with the map, Android, this is the maximum

If you close the far right screen with the compass in it does the map screen get bigger? I have an iPhone so I can't try it.
Here is to hoping that this new version of AA fixes the full screen issue, sounds like screen resizing is automatic!

New Android Auto will adapt to any screen size using split-screen interface
You need to install the new map/system update in the GV80, came out within last week or so. It will allow you to "fill" the blank android auto section with an AA app.....for example you van have a media player there. May allow for a widescreen map as well.....have not tried that since I do not see a need for that.

Yep, I saw that just after I posted :) Updated the car, at least I can see media playing instead of that static AA image. Cannot figure out if I can make widescreen map, looks like its three fixed size panes.

I have managed to utilize 75% of the screen in my GV70 using the AA wireless adapter from Carlinkit.

Im satisfied however, the screen looks a little bit stretched but it is fine.

Here is the link:

Makesure to buy version 4.0 as this the only version that supports wireless AA

The latest Android Auto rollout (Coolwalk) now supports native full screen w/o stretching. Requires no head unit update (server side enablement from what I have read if you are at latest AA on your phone).
