Google is claiming Android Auto support coming soon for the Soul EV, MY2015 on:

Thank you David Herron on FB for the pointer
 
It is the Android version of Apple's CarPlay.
I only have CarPlay, but here goes....

Instead of using the stock controls on your radio, plugging in a phone takes over the whole screen of the car, as if it was your phone screen.
Icons look like your phone's icons, text messages, warnings, etc pop up on the car's screen, or come thru your car speakers.

If I navigate somewhere on my phone's navigation, the map displays on the car's screen, instead of having to look down at my phone.

Personally, CarPlay is pretty lack-luster and I prefer Kia's split screen so I can see the map and music at the same time.
