I'm trying to find an Android Auto tutorial on how to set this up once it arrives later this week.

Android Auto is basically a head-unit screen/interface for your hand-held Android device. If you don't use a hand-held Android device (phone or tablet) don't worry about Android Auto - you probably won't be using it.
From
Wikipedia... "Android Auto is a mobile app developed by Google to mirror features from an Android device, such as a smartphone, to a car's compatible in-dash information and entertainment head unit."
You might want to check out CarPlay though... :-)
Again, from
Wikipedia... "CarPlay is an Apple standard that enables a car radio or head unit to be a display and a controller for an iOS device. It is available on all iPhone models beginning with iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 or later."
Looks like you need an optioanl external adapater to connect a mobile device for either Android Auto or Apple Carplay - but others can confirm this.
