Exciting News: Android Auto™ Compatibility Now Live for Lucid Air Owners
Exciting Update for Lucid Air Owners
Lucid Group, Inc., the renowned manufacturer of advanced electric vehicles, has just rolled out a significant upgrade for Lucid Air owners. The much-anticipated Android Auto™ Smart Driving Companion is now fully operational in all Lucid Air models, thanks to an over-the-air software update to Lucid OS 2.7.0. This new feature allows drivers to seamlessly connect their Android smartphones to the Lucid Air, significantly enriching their in-car infotainment experience.
Enhanced In-Car Experience
This integration transforms how Lucid Air owners interact with their vehicle’s tech systems. With Android Auto, users can access their favorite apps for navigation, multimedia, and communication directly from the exquisite 34-inch Glass Cockpit display. Whether through a USB connection or wirelessly for compatible devices, the new feature ensures that important applications are just a tap away, providing convenience on the road.
Dr. Jean-Philippe Gauthier, Lucid’s Director of Software Engineering, expressed enthusiasm about this update: "Android Auto is among the most requested features by Lucid users, and we are delighted to implement this software update. The combination of Android Auto with the expansive Glass Cockpit reinforces our commitment to enhancing user comfort and convenience without compromise."
Requirements for Use
To utilize Android Auto in the Lucid Air, owners will need an Android smartphone running Android 9.0 (or newer) and a compatible data plan. Users with devices operating on Android 11 or higher can even connect wirelessly, removing the hassle of cables and making the entire experience more user-friendly.
To assist drivers with the setup process, Lucid Group provides detailed instructions on connecting their vehicles to Android Auto, either via USB or wirelessly. However, it's worth noting that Android Auto compatibility will soon be available for the upcoming Lucid Gravity model, expanding the offering to even more customers.
