Why I can't use Android auto connect with the car?

[zkllyq]

Hi guys,

I had problem in my phev MY17. Firstly, I can't install the "Android Auto" into my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo, it says "the item is not available in your country. " I don't know why. I'm in Sweden now.

Second, I tried another one "new Android Auto", but when I using the usb cable connected to my car, then a error msg popup on the car screen said something "wrong", I tried another usb port on the car, same problem, only charging function works.

So, the question is, do you know which app should I use for Android auto? and do I need install it also on the car(I don't think so due to I saw the video instruction on web that only mentioned I should install the app on smartphone). Acturally I only want to use the google map on the car screen, so how to solve it? thanks!

Unfortunately it's not available in Sweden yet.

https://www.android.com/auto/ (at the bottom is a list of countries)

There's not been a release date for Sweden yet.
