android auto - Q7 2016

[brfc]

Hello,

I bought a 2016 Q7 S-Line last week, and expected to be able to connect my phone via a cable to the Q7 (this I can do) and be able to click on android auto from the MMI. But the icon does not appear on the MMI after connecting the phone and clicking on 'data transfer/android auto' on my USB connection options on my phone (I have a Samsung S21+).

I wanted to be able to use Google maps from my phone but have it displayed on the On screen display on the Q7. I check that android auto is compatible with Q7, and have tried some troubleshooting, but cannot get it to work. I can play music and make calls via the Bluetooth connectivity. I don't think the naigation on the Q7 is live with traffic updates, like Google maps on my phone?

Any help will be appreciated

You might find it hasn't got the function with your mmi. Has the car got the tech pack etc?
