🚗 Why install Android Auto on an McLaren 625C 2014?

The McLaren 625C 2014 is an exceptional car mechanically and aesthetically. However, its IRIS 1 infotainment system remains very basic and limiting in the face of current digital uses. The addition of Android Auto makes it possible to modernize the driving experience, by adding essential features such as Google Maps, Spotify, Whatsapp, or Google Assistant, accessible via voice command or the central screen.

With Android Auto, driving becomes more fluid, intuitive and above all, much more connected. This is a great way to reconcile luxury performance and the latest mobile technology.

To remember: Add Android Auto transforms the cockpit of your McLaren 625C into a connected space, without changing its aesthetic.
