Excellent article. I have an issue and wonder if it has to do with a newer AA push. I am unable to answer the phone in the car. Notification shows, and the ringing occurs, but I cannot click on or use the car controls to answer the phone. Is this a new "safety" feature, maybe?
Have you run into this yet? Phone is a Pixel 7 Pro, vehicle is a Mazda CX-50.
Cheers!

i read this article a little while ago while in the market for a new phone and used this "information" to buy a Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro running android 13 and it does NOT work with Android Auto at all. now i have a $300 paper weight and i hope this article gets updated before it leads others to waste their hard earned money on misinformation.

Phones running Android 10 and above have the software installed out of the box. On top of this phones running Android 11 and higher are compatible with wireless Android Auto connections. That includes native wireless connections that are built into your car, or older models relying on some kind of adapter.
