Connectivity Overview
RiderNav displays can work with Huawei smartphones, but functionality varies significantly based on your device's region and installed software ecosystem.
Huawei Devices – Global/International Models
Android Auto Limitation:
Global market Huawei phones typically do not support Android Auto
Google Mobile Services (GMS) removal from international Huawei devices prevents Android Auto functionality
Compatibility Verification: We cannot confirm Android Auto support for specific Huawei model numbers. Please verify your device's Android Auto capability independently through:
Checking for "Android Auto" in your phone's app drawer or Play Store
Testing connection with other Android Auto-compatible devices
Huawei Devices – China Mainland Models
HiCar Alternative: Huawei phones sold in mainland China feature HiCar as the smartphone integration system instead of Android Auto.
HiCar Compatibility Requirements:
Supported device series: Mate series, Pura/P series, nova series, Pocket series
Minimum software version: EMUI 10.0+ or HarmonyOS 2.0+
Note: Most recent-generation Huawei devices from these series running the required software versions include HiCar support.
Connection Recommendations
For International Huawei Users: If your device lacks Android Auto support, consider:
Upgrading to a smartphone with full Google services
Using alternative connection methods if available (check RiderNav specifications)
For China Mainland Huawei Users: Ensure your device meets HiCar minimum requirements and verify HiCar functionality is enabled in phone settings before attempting connection.
