Lucid has officially rolled out Android Auto support to all Lucid Air vehicles, delivering a long-awaited feature to Android users via its latest over-the-air (OTA) software update.
Apple CarPlay support has been available in Lucid Air since 2023, Android users had been left out—until now. The update, part of Lucid OS 2.7.0, enables both wired and wireless Android Auto connectivity through the vehicle’s 34-inch “Glass Cockpit” display.
This new functionality allows drivers to access Google Maps, music apps, messaging services, and other compatible features from their Android smartphones directly on the vehicle interface—enhancing the overall in-car experience.
“Android Auto is one of the most requested features by Lucid owners,” said Dr. Jean-Philippe Gauthier, Head of Software Engineering at Lucid. “We are delighted to announce that we have begun rolling out a software update to add this capability. Android Auto with Lucid Air’s expansive Glass Cockpit builds upon our commitment to compromising nothing by enhancing comfort and convenience for owners.”
To use Android Auto in a Lucid Air, drivers need a phone running Android 9.0 or newer and an active data plan. Wireless Android Auto is supported for devices with Android 11 or later, while older compatible devices can connect via USB.
The feature is available immediately to Lucid Air owners in both North America and Europe. Support for Lucid’s upcoming Gravity SUV is expected “soon,” according to the company.
For detailed instructions on setting up Android Auto, Lucid owners are encouraged to visit the company’s online knowledge center.
