If there is any virtue in the Android Auto system, it is being able to continue using your mobile for almost anything without losing attention to the most important thing: the road. Of course, for this you have to know how this feature works, subtracting as little time as possible from paying attention to the road when you look at the mobile screen or that of your vehicle compatible with Android Auto. Here we explain everything so you can listen to your favorite podcasts while you driveEverything step by step.
Of course, remember that to manipulate the mobile you must be completely stopped in a safe area. In other words, you should follow this tutorial from home, or when you are with the car parked. Remember that the most important thing is security, so do not configure Android Auto when you are already running. Let alone carry out the steps in this tutorial if you're already on the road. That being said, we begin:
Download Google Podcasts
The first thing is to get hold of the Google podcast tool You probably have your own already installed, but this tool from the big G is fully compatible with Android Auto. In other words, it will allow you to take the downloaded programs to your car or to the screen of your mobile phone with Android Auto without any type of incompatibility or problem. In fact, you can have it just for subscribing to your favorite podcast shows, regularly using whatever other app you prefer, and leaving Google Podcasts to work with Android Auto.
The application is completely free. You just have to download it from the Google Play Store as one more tool. Once inside, you can subscribe to programs and channels that publish their podcasts on the Internet. Do a search for what interests you to find the individual shows you want to download, or the channel you want to subscribe to so you don't miss out on what's new I posted. And that's it, once you have associated the downloads to your Google Podcasts profile or have your subscriptions active, all that remains is to switch to Android Auto.
Listening to podcasts on Android Auto
From now on you just have to use the Android Auto application on your mobile, or connect your terminal to your compatible car to take advantage of this function.When Android Auto is active, either on your mobile or in your car, pay attention to the headphone icon. It is the usual menu where you can play music on this service. Well, you should know that if you go back to press a second time on the icon or the arrow that now appears next to it, you will be able to choose other compatible music applications with Android Auto.
This is where Google Podcasts comes into play, being one of these tools that you can choose to reproduce your favorite programs Now all that remains is to enter in the menu with the three stripes to see which shows you have subscribed to and which podcasts are available to play. Everything should be sorted, much like what the Google Podcasts app does to group all these recordings together.
Well, all you have to do is choose the podcast to start playing from beginning to end. And now yes, you can start driving with your car, knowing that you have the usual Android Auto playback controls at hand. In other words, large buttons so that the distraction is minimal when pausing, playing or fast forwarding or delaying the podcast on duty.
