Android Auto, like Apple CarPlay, is one of the best marriages of your smartphone with your daily driver on the road. It keeps you off your phone while acknowledging the very real benefit of connecting your car to the internet, providing you with information imperative to your drive, like Google Maps, and entertainment to make the time go by quicker, like Spotify. While some car manufacturers don’t agree with the integration of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in their cars anymore for “safety” reasons (sure…), most welcome phone projection to their internal radio screens. One long-time downside of Android Auto has been that its icons are the same circular icons regardless of what phone you use. That, however, is changing with the latest version of Android Auto.
