Which in-vehicle aftermarket stereos are compatible with Android Auto?
More and more cars are hitting the road with built-in, pre-installed systems that are primed and ready for Android Auto - Google's in-car smart navigation and entertainment system. However, for drivers with older vehicles, the aftermarket stereo space provides a solution. Here are all of the compatible systems.
