From now on, those who previously used it on their phone (instead of on the car’s own display) will have to run Google Assistant Driving mode on their handset instead. After you save the file on the mobile device, you must browse to its location and initiate. One last thing to note is how the 7.9 update removes the option to run Android Auto on a smartphone display. Search for Android Auto and click download to update Android Auto to the latest version. The manual installation of Android Auto 9.5 beta starts with the actual download of the APK installer. You will likely have to give permission for your phone to install an app that hasn’t come from the Google Play store, and readers should make sure they are downloading the right version for their handset.ĭownloading and installing the Android Auto beta should only take a few seconds, and once newer versions are available in the coming weeks they can be installed in the same way each new build will replace what’s currently on your phone.

The software is available at Softpedia, and tapping on the APK file should be enough to start the downloading and installation process. That said, it is now possible to download the Android Auto 7.9 beta and install it onto your Android phone. It is still being worked on by Google and is only intended for use by developers wishing to get to grips with the software before it rolls out to the general public. Unfinished beta software is, by its very nature, a little rough around the edges. Before we go any further, the usual beta caveats apply.
