Android Auto 18.2 update starts rolling out with more light mode teases

Google has initiated the distribution of the Android Auto 18.2 update, although users should not anticipate significant visual changes on their car displays. This update comes shortly after the release of Android Auto 18.1. As users are accustomed to, the update primarily focuses on resolving bugs rather than introducing new user-facing features. Some of the recent bug fixes include addressing Gemini bugs, foldable-related issues, UI problems, connection issues, and double-skipping songs.

One of the main updates in Android Auto 18.2 is the preparation of the app for the light mode. Over 100 assets within the app have been updated to facilitate the introduction of this feature. The changes primarily revolve around the button designs, such as ic_mr_button_connected_14_dark.xml and ic_mr_button_connected_15_dark.xml. While light mode support is highly anticipated, the exact release timeline remains uncertain.
