Change the Android Auto taskbar position

Move the Android Auto taskbar to the bottom or left side of your CHIGEE Display and compare it with the CarPlay menu bar.

Note: Moving the Android Auto taskbar needs AIO-6 LTE or AIO-6 Max firmware v2.0.5, AIO-5 Play firmware v1.8.3, or AIO-5 Lite or AIO-5 EVO firmware v3.5.7 or later. To update, see Update CHIGEE Display firmware over Wi-Fi.

Android Auto shows its taskbar along the bottom of the CHIGEE Display screen, and CarPlay shows its menu bar along the left side. You can move the Android Auto taskbar to the left side in the Car Link settings on the CHIGEE Display.

  2. Tap the Settings icon.

  3. Tap Menu bar location and choose Bottom or Left.

  4. Start Android Auto. The taskbar appears in the position you chose.
