Well, lemme tell ya, these newfangled things, they sure are somethin’. My grandson, he’s always got his nose in that there phone. He told me about this thing called “Android Auto” and how you can get it on your car screen. Now, I ain’t got one of them fancy cars, but I heard folks talkin’. They say you can watch Netflix on it. Netflix, that’s that show thing, right? Like them soap operas I used to watch on the telly, ‘cept now it’s on your phone and whatnot. So, this is all about how to use that Android Auto to watch Netflix. I think it’s a pretty good topic.
Now, they say you ain’t supposed to watch Netflix on that Android Auto thingamajig. Somethin’ about it bein’ dangerous while you’re drivin’. Makes sense, I reckon. You gotta keep your eyes on the road, not on some show. But people are like, “How do you watch Netflix on Android Auto?” They want it all, don’t they? Safety first, I always say, but they just don’t know why they cannot watch it.
My grandson, he’s a smart one. He says it’s ’cause them car companies, they don’t want you watchin’ shows while you’re drivin’. They put other things on there, like that music thing, Spotify, and that map thing, Google Maps. Those are okay, I guess. Helps you get where you’re goin’ and keeps you entertained with some tunes. But no Netflix! It’s like they are telling you what you can do or cannot do.
I heard that there is no official way to watch it. It is not supported. But people just want to find a way.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout how much data them shows use up. They got these fancy words for it: “standard definition,” “high definition,” “ultra high definition.” Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. But they say it can use up a whole bunch of your data. Like, one gig, three gigs, even seven gigs! That’s a lot, ain’t it? Better keep an eye on that if you’re watchin’ them shows on your phone. Don’t want to run out of data, especially when you are trying to use that Android Auto. You may end up with no map!
Here’s a list of them fancy data things they were talkin’ about:
- Standard definition: Uses up to 1 GB. Whatever that means.
- High definition: Uses up to 3 GB. Sounds like a lot to me.
- Ultra high definition (4K): Uses up to 7 GB. Lord have mercy!
So, yeah, you gotta be careful with that data stuff. Especially if you’re payin’ for it by the gig. It’s important, you know. Otherwise, you will end up paying too much for the shows. And I heard that watching Netflix on Android Auto uses a lot of data. So, you need to be careful.
But if you are trying to watch Netflix on Android Auto, you gotta be careful. They don’t want you to watch shows while driving. That sounds pretty right. I mean, I don’t want people watching shows while driving. You gotta pay attention to the road!
That grandson of mine, he showed me all sorts of things on his phone. He can do just about anythin’ with that little gadget. But I told him, “Boy, you be careful with that thing. Don’t be watchin’ shows when you should be payin’ attention to somethin’ else.” He just don’t listen, you know. But I think he is smart. He can figure out all these things about Android Auto. But I don’t know whether he can watch Netflix on it or not. I should ask him next time.
They say that Android Auto is only for driving. It’s not for watching shows. You can listen to music, use the map, and maybe make some calls. That’s it. But I don’t see many people talk about calls. Maybe that’s not a thing anymore. We just use it for music and map. I don’t know. You tell me.
But you gotta be careful with these new things. They are useful, I guess. But you can’t just rely on them for everything. Sometimes you gotta use your own common sense, you know. These young people these days, they are always looking at their phones. It’s not good, I tell you. Back in my day, we didn’t have these things. We had to use our brains, our maps, you know, the real map. We did not have Android Auto. We had to talk to people, ask for directions. You can just ask people, you know. Don’t rely on those machines too much.
So, that’s what I heard about this whole Netflix on Android Auto thing. Sounds like a lot of fuss if you ask me. Just watch your shows at home, on your regular TV. That’s what I say. Or don’t watch it if you are driving. It’s not that hard, you know. And use that Android Auto to find your way and listen to the radio. It’s not that hard. People make it so complicated. But if you really want to know how to watch it, you can ask those young people. They know everything about these things. They can tell you all about watching Netflix on Android Auto, I bet.
Well, I gotta go now. Got chores to do. These newfangled things, they sure keep you busy, don’t they? But it’s important to know these things. Otherwise, you will be left behind. And I don’t want to be left behind. So, I try to learn something new every day. Even if it’s about Android Auto or Netflix. You never know when you might need it. You know what I mean?
