How does Parkster work with Android Auto?

Android Auto was developed by Google to mirror features on an Android device through the car's radio. When an Android device is paired with the car's head unit, the system can mirror certain apps on the car's display. The process of connecting the customer's device to the car's radio varies between different cars. Typically, you need to connect a USB cable from the car to the device, or connect via Bluetooth.

Please note that currently, it is only possible to display active short-term tickets via Android Auto.
