Android Auto Ready? Doesn't feel like it...

Bug Reports

I just decided to try out Premium with a Pixel 9 Pro Fold and a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (Korean made) with the ultimate package (including a HUD).

This all looks very promising, but the Android Auto interface is seriously lacking on features/options. But more problematic are the numerous bugs. Is this ready for prime time? I feel like I paid for a product that isn’t ready for launch.

Some of the bugs and issues include (all on the AA interface):

  • Adding a second destination waypoint, I’d search and the whole interface just freezes. No way to get out of it. I had to kill the app on the phone multiple times.

  • Turn by turn directions in AA would work, but half the time they didn’t show up in the HUD. No idea why it was random. Google Maps never has this problem.

  • Where are all the menus to see things like SoC at my SECOND waypoint destination? It only shows the current destination, it should show both the current and final destination SoC. Or at least have an option to touch the SoC icon and it would show the other legs of your trip.

  • Along with the SoC, what about other trip details for the other legs? Distances would be nice.

  • The AA interface went black multiple times trying to access menus or features. Then again, it wouldn’t return. I kept having to kill the app and restart.

I’m just not thrilled having paid money for this if it isn’t ready. Glad I only paid for a month.

With that being said, The app shows lots of promise! Having the SoC read automatically is amazing!

Where does this happen?

    Thanks for all the constructive feedback - ABRP 6.1.1 has just been released and it fixes at least a few of your issues. Let us know what you find!

      Definitely improved! Got to try it today. No more crashing, things seem to be working. The only thing still happening is the lack of directions inside the HUD. I'm wondering if it has to do with turning off the car mid trip, then restarting it, and the it continues where it left off. I'll see if I can pin it down over the next few days.

      Otherwise, options seem to be the biggest thing missing. But I realize additional features take a bit of time. The biggest feature missing in my opinion is the lack of seeing the next leg and overall trip if you have more than one destination.

      Merci!

        As for seeing information on the coming stops, have you tried the (i) button on the right side of the map?

          I did again now that you mentioned it and yeah, you are absolutely correct. When we first tested ABRP (new to this), my wife was controlling the interface since I was driving. I thought she had checked everywhere but apparently not. It is absolutely there!

          The HUD worked this morning (just a quick drive to work). But I’ll try and pin the combo down and potentially report that as a bug if I can figure it out.

          But most of my issues are definitely addressed! Thanks. Hopefully more feature parity happens gradually with Android Auto (I assume within limits since you don’t want people going through a bazillion settings while driving, or have it so that certain settings aren’t available while driving but appear when parked).

          Merci!
