Android Auto update 15.4 quietly rolls out: bug fixes, Gemini AI groundwork & more
Google will bring the most recent Android Auto 15.4 update during November, although the company hasn’t spoken anything about it. The most recent version, which was discovered by autoevolution, stands out for remaining in beta for more than a week, which is unusual for Google. The new version is starting to roll out, and sideloading choices are available, but the corporation isn’t offering an explanation.
The addition of bug fixes that enable Google Pixel 10 devices to connect to Android Auto correctly is one of the most significant changes in 15.4, making this version helpful for people who did not previously have access. Additionally, it seems that this release is aiming toward more significant changes within Android Auto, such as the company’s AI assistant Gemini taking the place of Google Assistant. Following a recent Gemini update that brings some very significant AI features, Google has also been testing new features for Google Maps, including some new color options for users.
Users will still be awaiting the new Widgets feature, which borrows from Apple CarPlay by enabling users to install application widgets straight to their infotainment screen, even after the new version arrives. It’s also important to note that this update is released prior to Google preventing some Android phones from getting Android Auto updates.
What to expect in Android Auto 15.4
Android Auto 15.4 is currently gradually making its way to all Android users after launching in Google’s beta program in October. The APK is available to anyone who is prepared to upgrade manually, but the new update is coming in waves for those who can’t wait. On an Android device, just download the APK from APKMirror, choose the file, and then allow it to install.
By the end of November, Android Auto 15.4 will be available to individuals who are prepared to wait for the latest version. Unfortunately, Google no longer provides release notes for Android Auto, so we are left in the dark about what’s new. The removal of Google Assistant for the AI assistant Gemini—which is already taking place in some GM cars as the company discontinues CarPlay and Android Auto—as well as the addition of new call notes and a new call screen are among the changes anticipated to occur this year, according to autoevolution.
There are numerous bug improvements in Android Auto 15.4 for devices that are experiencing trouble connecting to Android Auto, particularly the Google Pixel 10. Additionally, the update enables users to apply the accent colors from their phone’s wallpaper on their infotainment screen. Google Maps allows users with smaller infotainment screens to report on traffic, something that was previously exclusive to users with larger panels. Users can report information about construction, traffic accidents, and speed traps, just like with the well-known Waze app.
