Android Auto update - multiple panels

keep_hope_alive · 02-09-2023, 08:35 AM

The latest Android Auto update looks great! Finally, we have reliable multiple windows to see several items at once. I've been able to have Maps, Spotify, and Phone all visible. I'm also a fan of how the contacts screen looks now that it mimics the contact photos on my phone (not showing that screen for obvious reasons)

Love the new update and layout, so convenient paired with the wireless Carlinkit 4.0 with cableless Android Auto, it's effortless.

My 2023 has inherent wireless AA, what year did that start?

I'm going to guess 2022-23.

I've got a couple of months yet to see what if any updates mine shows.

I don't use Android Auto in my truck. It is Google through the truck wifi. No more gm mapping. It goes directly into Google maps. No need for AA anymore in the truck.

The switch was made for me yesterday. I like the new interface, it's intuitive and definitely more usable than before. The one thing I wish is more apps were compatible with AA (Torque Pro, for example).

Yup my 21 is wireless, and I got the new AA update a few days ago. Great stuff

Mine doesn't have this - what version of Android Auto does this? Is there something I have to do to enable it?

Allez · 02-12-2023, 10:13 AM

Ah, saw https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...=613307&page=2. I use Waze, that's probably why it won't do it yet.

Anybody randomly have Android Auto wireless not connect from time to time? I've got a Samsung s22 Ultra and it seems like about 10-15% of the time it wont connect and the only way to fix it is shut the car off and restart. Toggling the phone to airplane mode has no effect and there's nothing to press to refresh on the infotainment screen. It's super annoying. For what it is worth, I've rented 2 Malibu's recently that worked flawlessly in wireless mode.

It also happened to me twice over the last 6 months. I think it has to do with Bluetooth connectivity, but I don't know if it's phone or car related. Owner of a Galaxy S22 as well

SOFO · 02-20-2023, 02:48 AM

This also happens to me from time to time.

I found the following solutions:

- Reconnect by bluetooth
- If this does not help, restart the phone

After a phone restart I was always working. Therefore I assume that it is phone related.

Thanks. I will try that if I have issues connecting to AA wirelessly again in the future.
