The problem seems to be primarily around the Android Auto 17.2 release, with v17.1 also affected to a lesser extent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those affected, the problem causes Android Auto to crash shortly after it starts, putting the car\u2019s display back to the native infotainment system before Android Auto comes back. Disconnects seem to happen after virtually any action is made, including interacting with the map or media, every few minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importantly, though, this seems to be mostly affecting those enrolled in the Android Auto beta program. The stable track, where Android Auto v17.0 is predominantly available, does not seem to be having issues. Android Auto 17.1 is also available in the stable track, and also appears to be affected to some extent. <\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While not a beta-only issue, those affected can downgrade to a stable version \u2013 either through leaving the Play Store beta program, using Android\u2019s \u201cuninstall updates\u201d feature, or sideloading the APK of a past version \u2013 to avoid the crashing issues until Google has sorted out the problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us know in the comments if you\u2019re running into issues.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-more-on-android-auto\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">More on Android Auto:<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0Twitter\/X,\u00a0Threads, Bluesky, and\u00a0Instagram<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
