Received Android Auto update, but new UI isn't showing on the head-unit

Hi All,

Today Morning I received Android Auto update to latest version 4.5.592854 but I am not able to view the latest UI on my Car's ICE.
I checked few forums and lots of people have raised the same issue.

One explanation I found was that the update is pushed on client side (phone) but it is yet to be updated on server side.

Link to the issue on Google forum: https://support.google.com/androidau...11094907?hl=en

Reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidAuto...lling_out_now/

Please let me know if anyone is facing the same issue or if anyone has fixed it.

My Phone Specs are as below
Samsung Galaxy Note 8
Version: Verizon US version SM-N950U
Car: Renault Duster with Android Auto and Apple Car Play

Screenshot of AA version is below

Strange but anything is possible with AA!

I upgraded a couple of days back on my Samsung A70 using the APKmirror file to the same version and mine is fine.

Did you unplug and replug as directed? Are you seeing the new 'Try the new AA' toggle on top and is it activated?

I am facing the same issue as you.
Tried clearing the cache, force stop, uninstalling and reinstalling the app but nothing seems to make a difference.

There is a new update which is dated to 01/08/19, version - 4.5.592853.
Link - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...download/#file
Which looks like a version lower than the previous file uploaded.
I have downloaded it let see if it works, will be able to check it out only in the evening.
Mine is a Creta.

I guess will have to wait for the OTA update to happen.

I got the push update, Can you please explain what do you mean by unplug and replug.
Also, I do not have the check box asking to try new AA as you have in your screenshot

Even I am clueless here.

Let's see if anyone else is facing the same issue or if anyone has fix for this.

re: Received Android Auto update, but new UI isn't showing on the head-unit

@OverKill, I just did below set of activities and now I am able see Try new AA
1. Go to settings on your phone, go to apps, search for Android auto, go to storage, clear data and cache. Repeat the same for Google play services and Google Play store
2. Restart the phone
3. Open AA now and you would be able to see "Try the new Android Auto"
See below.
Hope this is helpful!

Working fine for me with a 1+ 5T and Ford's sync3 system.

Immediately after side loading and installing the apk, the AA app would instantly crash. A clear data + cache (AA app) fixed this issue.

Cool, lets hope there are no major bugs.

For me Google Play Music is crashing after 10 secs of playing music.

The smoothness and flow depends on our Phone, its CPU and Memory.
Few pics from my Duster are below.

Ok. So I also got the OTA update to the latest release. And I'm also not getting the new interface. After updating, do we need to connect the phone to car for the new interface toggle to come alive or should it appear post update?

You have to clear data and cache from AA, Google play services apps. Do this for couple of times. I also cleared data and cache from Google play store.

Worked for me as well !!
My phone app was updated OTA in regular update cycle, and then I followed the above steps 1, 2 & 3 - and got the "Try the new Android Auto" slider in the app.

Few snaps :

Not happening with me. I've tried everything mentioned here but the toggle switch is not there. My phone is a One Plus 6T running Pie.

I had to do cache and app data flush. And then I connected to car. The screen notified that I can switch to new UI. After unplug and plug I was able to get the new UI.
