AA Passenger
Give your passengers control. AA Passenger allows a second device to interact with Android Auto, enabling navigation input and media control from the passenger seat.
What is AA Passenger?
AA Passenger (also known as AA 2nd Seat) is an innovative utility that bridges the gap between the driver's phone and a passenger's device. It allows a passenger to connect their phone to the driver's phone (via Wi-Fi Direct or Hotspot) and "cast" content or commands to the Android Auto session. This solves the common frustration of locked controls while driving.

What it Can Do
- Search for a destination on the passenger phone and send it directly to Google Maps/Waze on Android Auto
- Play audio files from the passenger's device through the car stereo
- Display photos on the car screen (e.g., showing the driver a picture of the destination)
- Allow the passenger to act as a co-pilot without distracting the driver
Limitations
- Take over the entire Android Auto interface (it works as a comprehensive add-on)
- Allow the passenger to answer phone calls on behalf of the driver via the car system (handling is still routed to the driver's phone)

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the passenger need AAAD?
No, AAAD is only needed on the driver's phone to install the main app that runs on Android Auto. The passenger just needs the standard Android app.
Can I type while the car is moving?
Yes! Since the passenger is using their own phone (which is not locked by Android Auto's safety restrictions), they can type destinations freely and send them to the car.
