This makes it easy to change wallpapers
When you get a new piece of smart electronics in hand, very often, in addition to testing technical tweaks or performance, you will probably focus on personalizing the individual parts. Can I change the dial on that watch? Are the diodes switched here? And what packaging can be purchased for this phone? Somehow we automatically want it in the system or from outside the device it looked like ours. One of the basic ways to not only differentiate emotionally, but also to make the use more pleasant in the case of devices with a larger display, is to change the background. And did you know that the so-called The wallpaper can also be replaced in the popular Android Auto environment?
Unlike many other features and change options (for example, we recently showed shuffling icons on the home screen), the wallpaper is not selected in the Android Auto settings on the mobile, but only on the screen in the vehicle. To change it, you must first connect the phone to the car and start the service on the on-board display.
Change the Android Auto wallpaper
- Connect your phone to the vehicle and start Android Auto by default
- On the vehicle screen, open the main menu (bottom left wheel) and tap the Settings icon
- Scroll down and select Select wallpaper
- Just click on the selected background and it will be applied immediately
After setting, the selected image is displayed behind the icons in the main menu and in a muted form also in several other places in the system. It is at the moment Fifteen different looks available including pure black background. Unfortunately, it is not possible to set your own image at this time. However, the menu is quite varied and the visuals look good.
If you don’t have access to Android Auto from the Play Store through your mobile phone, you can try the application download and install from an alternative source through the apk file. For example, from the APK Mirror server. Also keep in mind that the service is limited to compatible vehicles. The list is gradually updated.
