Google means to pair your Android device with the car display so that you’ll manage yourself safely on the road, when it released Android Auto functionality around the globe. It helps even while having words with loved ones hand freely, navigating, or consistently asking for help from your Google Assistant to find your way.
Android Auto serves important features that may be actually needed while driving in a convenient way with the use of your smartphone wirelessly. This real support just makes it even better.
Wireless Android Auto is finally there in the last country Japan
It’s been years, wireless Android Auto is finally availing service in the last country it wasn’t supported in, Japan. In 2020, Google launched a huge expansion to wireless Android Auto that brought the functionality to nearly every country that supported the wired version. Then, in 2021, Google launched the platform across even more countries, all of which supported wireless functionality immediately.
Till the time there were two countries falling into the categories who are not having the access to wireless Android Auto. Russia was beside Japan, but it ended up being granted support in late 2020. The last country on the list was Japan. Which lacked the wireless form of Android Auto. But that seems to have changed today.
The apparent reason why wireless Android Auto wasn’t supported in the country was due to a law that prohibited the use of the WiFi 5.2GHz band outdoors, including in cars. But that law was revised in late 2022 to remove that restriction. Well, meantime Google hasn’t made any official announcement. But in an update, to a support page, the company has removed the qualifier that noted the lack of wireless support in Japan. Now lists the country as having full support for Android Auto in either form.
