Google says this Android Auto update should fix random disconnects & freezes
Some issues with random Android Auto disconnects and freezes in recent weeks should be fixed with the latest updates, Google says.
Google has announced that a recent Android Auto update should resolve the issues of random disconnects and freezes that some users have been experiencing. In the past month or two, there has been a noticeable increase in reports from users who have noticed their Android Auto system randomly freezing or disconnecting, sometimes every few minutes.
This issue has affected a wide variety of Android phones and vehicle combinations, but it has not impacted all users equally. Given that Android Auto is an essential platform for navigation while driving, the frustration this issue has caused for many users is understandable. In response to these concerns, Google has confirmed that the Android Auto 17.4 update, as well as newer versions, should address the problems.
A Community Specialist from Google stated that users are advised to update their Android Auto app to the latest version (17.4 or higher) to resolve the issue. The Android Auto 17.4 update is now widely available through the Play Store, while Android Auto 17.5 is in the beta track and starting to be rolled out to stable users as well.
