Recently got the Pixel 11 Pro and returned to Android. How do you change the lane navigation on the top? It's restricting my view of what's upcoming. Are there any settings or updates I should make? It's g same problem with Google Maps as well. The lane navigation is just at the top; you can't get rid of it.
Hey,
Just to let you know that I implemented a screen guard while the car is moving. You can disable it in settings if you have a passenger display. Please be responsible while using the app, as browsing and driving don't go together.
I also implemented Microphone support speech recognition.
Install with AAENABLER or Kinginstaller (especially for Pixel phones):

Also note, this app doesn't come with any 3rd party software installed. It does download everything needed from their official repositories, so initial setup takes some time.
Enjoy
Is there a way to permanently disable the suggested destinations in Google Maps on Android Auto, or are we just stuck with this?
Every single time I drive, Google Maps decides to helpfully recommend destinations like Home and Work, presumably based on the time of day, my location and driving habits.
And sure, I get the idea. It's trying to be helpful. But here's the thing: I bloody well know where I live and where I work. 😂
The suggestions take up a ridiculous amount of screen real estate, so I have to tap the little arrow in the search bar to collapse them and actually see more of the map.
But wait, there's more! Switch to Spotify, go back to Google Maps, and BOOM. There they are again. It's like the suggestions have the memory of an elephant, except they completely forget that I just dismissed them five seconds ago.
Why can't Google just remember that I prefer the suggestions collapsed? Better yet, why isn't there a simple setting to disable them permanently?
Am I missing something obvious here, or is this just another one of those Google features that nobody asked for but we're apparently supposed to love?
Has anyone found a permanent solution that doesn't involve switching navigation apps or disabling useful features elsewhere?
Hi everyone,
as a Toyota hybrid owner (2021 C-HR), I developed HybridDash Pro, an Android Auto application that reads proprietary OBD-II PIDs and renders real-time hybrid telemetry directly on the car's display.

Android Auto Integration: KingInstaller & Shizuku
Android Auto restricts sideloaded third-party apps from appearing in the vehicle's app launcher unless they are flagged as installed via an authorized package installer.
To solve this without root or computer connections:

Photos from my 2021 C-HR running on the OEM display and Coolwalk dashboard screenshots are attached below. Happy to answer questions regarding OBD communication and display handling on Android Auto.
It's something That's been annoying me because the 2 apps i use the most, Tempus & AntennaPod, are installed from GitHub & F-Droid, respectively, & occasionally, they won't show up in the Android Auto launcher.
I have a 2017 vw gti, previously had the old style carplay only wireless adapter, worked perfectly. Recently got an android and bought the new smaller style carplay and android auto adapter. The adapter works perfectly in my wife's car, works perfectly on my motorcycle, but refuses to work on my vw, I did a hard reset on the unit and the quadlock display pops up, but when I connect my phone to the unit it stops working and no longer brings up the quadlock display. Anyone had a similar issue?
Edit to add: the android auto works flawlessly with a wired connection so I know the issue is not the phone and presumably not the vehicle software
Anyone got a solution?
I mostly listen to downloaded musice on YT Music and AA. Sometimes when I go into a store, come back out, restart the car and it will continue where I left off. Most times it does not. Is there something I can do so AA remembers and continues where I left off?
Also, there is so much I don't know about AA. Is there a Wiki or something where I can read rather than bothering you folks?
So I've already checked that my phone is set to use Gemini as the assistant but it's still not using it on android auto. I'm in the beta using latest version 17.9.164004)
My wife had never used android auto on any car before but she connected her phone to the car, Gemini was there straight away. I've seen according to Auto Evolution Google completed the transition from Google Assistant to Gemini this week but still I don't have it showing
Am I missing something? A simple setting or change I need to make?
