Does the android option button thing only show up if your phone is plugged in or connected via bluetooth?

Thoughts for you dad, sir. No matter what anybody says, a mans dad is always his hero.

Plus, I'm in for the story about "Andrew Fila Fraud Friday"

Does Android Auto integrate with the instrument cluster screen for navigation?

When it comes available, do you have to take it to the dealer for the update or will it just update over WiFi?

I haven't used it but from my understanding phone calls still connect via bluetooth but everything else is done through usb.

"One fun fact about connecting your phone to Android Auto: As soon as you plug in it forces a Bluetooth connection. You don't have to set anything up manually. This is how you'll make phone calls."

Here is an article on why it needs to be plugged in:

The reason is actually quite simple. Power. I’m sure you’ve used Google Maps and Navigation before, you know it takes quite a bit of power to be used, especially when you’re on LTE or even HSPA+. It’s the same thing with Android Auto. The data flow from your phone to your car is quite heavy and drains the battery in your phone.
I'm glad I am still on a grandfathered Verizon Unlimited Data Plan.
