Android Auto is actually a very simple platform because, roughly speaking, only the smartphone display is outsourced and transferred to the connected display in the vehicle. Of course, there’s a lot more to it than that, but that’s the main task of the platform while everything else happens within the apps. Nevertheless, there are always problems with the connection, with a bitching Google Assistant or with navigation that cannot be used.

The problem is that the problems often only affect one user group. With a certain Android version, in a region or users of a smartphone manufacturer. As a result, Google has to cover a large number of eventualities and problems sometimes persist for a long time. If you are suffering from a problem that has not yet been driven by the tech media, then check out whether you are affected alone or whether it is a known hurdle.

The Android Auto Community has a thread maintained by Google that lists problems, links to more details, and lists their status. You will find open problems, recently solved problems or things that were passed on from Google to the smartphone manufacturers. Here is the current list.
