Android Auto 14.3 Update Widely Rolling Out

Google is rolling out the latest Android Auto update widely, with version 14.3 now available through the Play Store.

Android Auto 14.3 launched in beta in April and started its stable rollout in early May. As of the past few days, the update has become generally available to all users through the latest Play Store update.

What’s new in Android Auto 14.3?

As is often the case with Android Auto app updates, there’s nothing user-facing to talk about here. Google uses these version updates primarily to address bugs and issues in the app that don’t always affect all users. Updates also provide an opportunity to set the stage for new Android Auto features.

In this particular version, Google seemingly delivered some of the remaining work to get climate controls together for Android Auto. It’s not live yet, but the interface is ready and waiting behind the scenes as of this latest update. Work on a light theme for Android Auto has also seemingly progressed with this update, but again, it is not live yet as we’ve noticed some have suggested is the case.

The next new feature on the docket for Android Auto is support for Gemini in place of Google Assistant. The transition was officially announced this week, and the rollout is set to start in the next few months.
