Ratings and reviews

Loved AA but I've been having trouble recently with a bug of some sort. My taskbar that often appears at the bottom of the screen will freeze, not allowing me to switch between apps, press the microphone, or even press the date. The only time it works is the first few seconds after I first turn on the car; otherwise, it just freezes and stays like that. It's very annoying when I have to use Google Maps and am trapped on that screen because of the taskbar not allowing me to switch to another app.

Does not work with new Pixel 8 anymore. I have used this on my last 3 phones but now it will not work with the one I got this weekend. I have done all the troubleshooting 4x and it will not work. It never worked well before, constantly crashing, but I was always able to get it to pair at least. I can't believe there's not a competitor doing Android Auto better yet - it would not be hard!

I love having Android Auto, and I don't exactly know if this can be done. But it would be great when you're parked if YouTube and other streaming devices could be available. I also hope for more overall customization options. Examples are widget options and a wider range of wallpaper options. Just overall, to make the experience feel more personal.
