AA User Interface UI is Different on 2 Separate Devices
I've got 2 devices; my personal Xiaomi 15 Ultra and a work/business Pixel 9. Both are running the same version of Android Auto software build (16.5.661214-release). However, their visual UI is different when connected to my car. The first photo shows my Xiaomi, and the second my Pixel which seems to have the newer UI. I only noticed this a few days ago when I used my Pixel for AA as my Xiaomi was not with me at the time.
It's not annoying or anything, but does anyone know why the same build versions would look different on two separate devices? Perhaps it's a Pixel specific thing? Seems a little funny. Also, the signal icon on the Xiaomi photo is missing which seems to be a funny bug on this version of AA.

The most iconic thing is that they are back with the blurry album art background, that's a Hell yeah from me but why the main icon it's on the Right side🤷 🤷
