For those who want to install Android Auto 8.0 without resorting to betas, the wait is over. Android Auto 8.0 reaches stable version just a few weeks after doing the same thing in its beta. The update should reach you on Google Play if you have Android 8.0 or higher.

Once again, Google leaves us with honey on our lips and the new version of Android Auto it just doesn’t trigger coolwalk redesign for upgrade, but we will have to wait for it to arrive from the server side at an as yet undetermined point. Still, it’s important to keep the app up-to-date so it’s ready when this happens.

dude where is my coolwalk

Coolwalk is its code name. Android Auto’s biggest redesign in years. This is a new split-screen interface with cards and cards that we were able to see and test unofficially earlier this year and that was officially announced by Google during the Google I/O event.

Then Google told us this summer we would have a redesign of Android Auto And now, with the end of August, users are getting impatient. Google never claimed that Coolwalk would come with Android Auto 8.0, but there was no denying that this was a great opportunity: take advantage of the big update to deliver a big change. No.

We didn’t have Coolwalk with Android Auto 8.0 Beta, and we don’t have Android Auto 8.0 stable, at least for now. We already know that Android Auto changes are almost always internal: they are in code and ready to go. Can be remotely activated at any time by Google. For now this activation has not happened and after updating to the latest version Android Auto is the same as before beyond the required internal bug fixes.

Google being very cautious with this redesignAnd the truth is, he has good reasons for that. Android Auto has a few issues as it stands, and introducing a radical change could introduce even more variables. Still, we hope it delivers on its promise and indeed we will have the new Coolwalk interface before the summer is over.

The only thing you can do as a user is, Keep your Android Auto app up to date be ready when the change submission begins. Android Auto 8.0 update can come to Google Play at any time, but if it doesn’t, you can force it by downloading the APK from APKMirror. It is a newer version than the latest beta, so it can be installed on it.
