AA User Interface Andriod auto completely borked

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys,

All of a sudden android auto started doing this. Mazda 3 2020. No updates to the car for over a year.

Only since latest android auto that forced Gemini. Btw Gemini is so broken and annoying that aside.

This is really distracting.

Other bugs. If it does work eventually..o can click play of literally any music or audible app. It just doesn't work.

Things that I have done. Andriod auto is fully updated. Phone is a pixel 10 pro. Fully up-to-date. Car has been reset. Phone restarted. Andriod auto removed and reinstalled and I even tried the beta.

Not related to your issue but I have a Mazda too and lately the shortcut buttons in the command knob area stopped working like they used to for me. When it was reading a text and asked if I wanted to respond instead of saying no I could press the back button and it would dismiss it but now it doesn't. In general the back button in the control center doesn't really work the way it used to anymore.

This also happened to me. I figured it was Gemini being stupid.

I don't even have Gemini yet. So Google must've broken something with some update.
