Android Auto installation in Melbourne
Get Android Auto installed at C1 Automotive in Oakleigh South.
Android Auto lets you use Google Maps, calls and music through your car screen with your Android phone. Since 2018, we have been fitting screen upgrades for Melbourne drivers. Before recommending an option, we check the factory head unit and dashboard layout — wired or wireless Android Auto depends on the unit and the phone, not just the car year.
What we check before quoting.
We look at the current factory head unit, whether the dashboard suits an integrated replacement or needs an external screen, and whether the factory reverse camera and steering wheel controls can be carried across.
A dashboard photo and your car details are usually enough for an accurate quote before booking.

Android Auto questions.
- How much does Android Auto installation cost in Melbourne?
- Pricing usually starts from around $300 for external screen setups and from around $500 for integrated setups in many Japanese vehicles. European vehicles typically start from around $790. The final price depends on your car model, dashboard layout and whether extra integration is needed.
- What Android phones work with Android Auto?
- Android Auto requirements depend on the phone, connection type and head unit. For wired Android Auto, current Google guidance generally requires Android 9.0 or higher with an active data plan and a compatible car or stereo. Wireless Android Auto has stricter phone and stereo compatibility requirements, so we confirm this before quoting.
- Can Android Auto be installed wirelessly?
- Wireless Android Auto depends on the head unit and the phone. Not all units or phones support it. We confirm whether wireless is an option for your specific car and handset before recommending anything.
- Can you keep the factory reverse camera working after installation?
- In many vehicles, yes. In others, the factory camera signal is not compatible with the replacement unit, or a new camera is needed. We check camera compatibility as part of the quoting process.
- How long does Android Auto installation take?
- Most installations take a few hours. European vehicles and factory-integrated setups can take longer depending on the dashboard and wiring involved.
