Google released Android Auto 13.4 as a beta at the beginning of the month and with Christmas around the corner it was not clear if the stable version would be available on time. Not only is it, but arrives with a few new featuressomething that is not very common.
As usual, We have tested Android Auto 13.4 in depth in search of news, which on this occasion has not been long in coming. To begin with, Google assures that the latest disconnection errors when using it wirelessly should be corrected. Additionally, there are design changes for better and worse.
The new look of Android Auto
Android Auto 13.4 is available as stable versionwhich means that anyone can update directly from Google Play, without installing APK or needing to be part of the application’s beta program, which is still full.
Although it is normal not to notice any changes in the new version of Android Auto, on this occasion the change has been evident. The application now uses a dynamic style that adapts the interface colors according to the wallpaper that is being used at that moment. The Android Auto wallpaper can be the same one you have on your mobile or black.
Android Auto with two different colors, depending on the wallpaper configured at that moment
If you don’t use the phone wallpaper in Android Auto, then the system uses blue as an accent color. If you use it, This color will vary depending on the main color of said wallpaper. This new style especially affects the option switches, although there are other changes: the settings do not appear with indentation as before and the typography is different, especially in the header.
It’s not all good news about the design, mind you. When testing Android Auto 13.4 I noticed that one of the launcher icons appeared Frustratingly out of alignment with the rest: the one of Personalize. It is, to say the least, a curious error.
On the other hand, Google claimed to have solved one of the most recurring problems with Android Auto– Disconnections when using wireless Android Auto. In their forums, Google Indian that the issue is resolved in the latest updates to Android Auto 13.2 and later versions, although some users do not think the same and indicate that they continue to have problems.
Apart from these three changes, which are not few, we have not noticed anything else different in Android Auto, although we already know that many times the changes are internal. We can expect this update to include other optimizations and internal changes.
Android Auto 13.4 is already being distributed through Google Play, so it is possible that it has already been updated on your mobile. The new version is version 13.4.6450 and These are the steps to update:
