Android Auto 9.7 stable update is now available for download

Android Auto, since the Coolwalk redesign release, has received a bunch of updates to address issues faced by users. Recently, there have been reports of random disconnect and freezing occurring for the app users, and perhaps, the Android Auto 9.7 stable update has a fix for that. 

It’s not often that we see a stable release without a beta build, which is the case of Android 9.7 stable. Google is pushing the new update via the Play Store, but it might take time to arrive on your device. Of course, you can side-load the app by downloading the APK file with the link below this post.

As usual, the latest Android Auto update didn’t come with a changelog, meaning it hasn’t introduced any new “major” feature. Perhaps, the update improves the app performance and fixes bugs, with the latter more likely. 

There have been reports from Android Auto users about a random disconnect. It happens during the connection or in the middle of a drive. While both wired and wireless connections are having the problem, it seems to happen more on wired connections. Hopefully, the Android Auto 9.7 stable update resolves the bug, but you can roll back to Android Auto 9.3 if the issue persists after installing the latest release.
