- Android Auto’s phone reboot issue when connecting wirelessly has now been fixed with v13.8.650804 of the app.
- Users can manually sideload the update or wait for it to be rolled out to their device.
Android Auto is a great way to leverage your Android flagship phone to provide the smarts needed for in-car navigation and music. However, the caveat is that it needs to work, and Android Auto can have problems that pop up occasionally. Users recently faced an issue where their phones would reboot when attempting to connect to their car systems using Android Auto wirelessly. Thankfully, this issue now seems to be fixed.
With Android Auto versions 13.4 and 13.5, phones rebooted as soon as Android Auto connected to the car’s head unit. As per our testing, this is fixed with the release of Android Auto version 13.8.650804, as our phones can connect reliably and maintain their wireless connection with the car’s head unit without rebooting or failing in any other manner. This lets us use Android Auto normally without any issues.
