Seat becomes first carmaker in Europe with Android Auto app in Play Store

Seat has taken another step further in car connectivity after becoming the first brand in the European industry to feature an app that is compatible with Android Auto. The Android-developed Seat DriveApp is now available in the Google Play Store and allows drivers to view and manage the content of the App installed in an Android device on the screen of the car. The app is already available in Spain and in the next few weeks will reach the rest of markets where Seat operates.

With the Seat DriveApp for Apple CarPlay and Seat DriveApp for MirrorLink, which are already available in the App Store and Google Play Store, drivers can access full vehicle status data, in-car and remotely, to facilitate their driving experience. In this sense, indications include vehicle status such as tyre pressure or fuel consumption. The App will be updated in the next few weeks with even more features and services. The Seat DriveApp has been wholly developed at the Seat Technical Centre.

The brand aims to lead the creation of a mobility ecosystem providing easy mobility services to its customers. Seat already offers FullLink technology, which is compatible with iOS and Android devices on the brand's complete model lineup. Connectivity on Seat models is enormously beneficial to drivers as it enables them to know the status of their vehicle wherever they are and remain connected to social media while driving in a completely secure manner.
