If you recently heard about strange reboot issues with Android Auto but didn’t run into those problems yourself, it seems…

    I wonder if this is why my phone has been overheating the last 2 weeks when using Android Auto.

    Also, let me just complain quickly about how inconvenient it is to get to Android Auto.

      Isn’t that inconvenience a per car issue? It just autostarts on mine, and is a whole main screen quadrant when it’s not in the foreground.

        Oh, I wrote that in a confusing way.

        I meant on the Android phone opening up Android Auto to check the settings. I only know to go to the settings and type Android Auto into the search bar. Just Auto won’t find it for me. And I can’t find a way to make a shortcut for it, like with Pixel Buds.

      Well, the change I did notice after upgrading from 13.5 to 13.7.

      It now forgot that I turn off tolls roads. And while it happily put me on the expensive toll road, it wouldn’t show the arrival time or duration time. I use Waze.

      (I’ve been doing updates pretty regularly once or twice a week for the last month. I wasn’t purposely holding back versions. These are just the versions that i had access to.)
