What does the android auto do in a 2020 gt 300a base car? All I can find is info on converting the base sync to a sync 3. Thanks for any help!

I don't know that we have any android auto integration—but, I'll give it a go tonight and report back. As I recall, it and CarPlay are exclusive to the 8" Sync 3 display. I don't tend to plug in my phone too often so, never given it much thought.

This is correct Nick. The base radio does not compatibility with either CarPlay or Android Auto. Need to step up to Sync3 if you really want AA.

There is no android auto in a 300a base car, you had to get the 301a car with the 8" Sync.

Likely it was signaling the fact Android Auto was running on the phone and audio connected by bluetooth to the stereo system.

Mine has the same size screen as the first picture but the buttons look at little bit different.

What are mobile apps? Or are they for sync 3 equipped cars?

If you have android auto on your phone and connect it to a car with USB that doesn't support mirroring to its screen (like a 300A package screen), it will still run on your phone and present the interface there. But the USB audio will allow it to play over the car's speakers.
