You can use Google apps and services like Gemini or Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play, built right into your car. Learn which cars are compatible.
For the best experience while you drive, sign in to your personal Google Account and connect your car to the internet with a mobile data plan. When you sign in with your Google Account, you can set up Gemini or Google Assistant, download apps, and navigate to personal locations like “Home” and “Work.” You can still drive the car and use some Google apps if you’re offline or signed out but some apps and features might not be available.
Make sure you sign in with your personal Google Account. These steps won’t work if you use an account through your work, school, or other organization. If you don’t have a Google Account, you can create one on a separate device.
Important: Settings and functionality may vary by car manufacturer, region, and data plan. For more information, check your owner’s manual.
