Want a clearer Android Car screen? This will replace the application shortcuts

Effective combination of mobile phone smartness and standard in-car control panel. A practical smart helper for the driver or co-driver when driving a car (and now also on a motorcycle). As simple as possible and thus safe for operation. This would probably be a brief description of the popular environment Android Auto, which has found a large number of users and fans in the Czech Republic as well. Google is constantly working to improve it, but there are already options for setting up how easy the system is adjust for better and clearer control. For example, did you know that it is possible in Android Auto change application shortcutswhich are then displayed on the main screen in the vehicle?

Clearer Android Auto: Replace application shortcuts

The following guide is currently becoming more and more useful, as Google has opened access to Android Auto and other partners third party applications. For example, we can also get Mapy.cz (tried) or alternative music or podcast players on the display in the car. With a large number of items, there is a greater need for them to be logically arranged and some even completely omitted. Of course, based on the priorities of a particular user. Fortunately, this is easy to solve.

How to do it?

• Open Android Auto. You don’t have to find it on your phone as a standalone application, so use search in settings, for example. It will be among the advanced features (such as in the picture from the One UI extension).
• Click Customize Launcher. It’s a bit of a strangely translated term “launcher”, but we probably won’t do anything about it.
• For selected applications, select to (not) display them on the car display, or the order. Deleted applications will not disappear completely, they will be moved to the bottom menu “Hidden applications”.
