It can be a pain in the ass to get the right cable. I have a cable I was using with my d-dock for about a year until it stopped working. It'll still charge the phone, but it won't connect to android auto anymore.
In addition to the other replies, what year and trim do you have? there are some years and trims that don't actually have it (all 2015s and some later years base trims if I remember correctly).
2016 Autobahn. I should have it
Oh, yeah. AA is very finnicky about cables to the point that Google has provided a list of cables [FAQ] Tips for choosing a compatible USB cable for using Android Auto - Android Auto Community (google.com)
This is becoming standard in new cars. The S/O's Taos has wireless android auto.
Car stereo still needs to support that feature, which unfortunately is not an option in any MK7. (Maybe 2021 GTIs, not positive).
Amazon took pre-orders, but I don't think it lasted more than a day lol
Don't need the app anymore. That's just for standalone android auto.
Hmmmm - I have the Amazon basics and it doesn't like it.
I've never had any luck with anything Amazon Basics. You need a quality data/charge cable.
Of course you need the app - unless the car has Android Automotive - which is different from Android Auto
I'm pretty sure I have it. I have MIBII, the bigger screen - and I have a Huawei P20 Pro.
And you have a button that says "APPS"?
I do.
