Google drops Android 9 and 10 support in Android Auto, raising the wired minimum to Android 11

1 fonte(s) · 1 atualização(ões) · publicado 09/11/2026 14:46 · coletado há 1 hora

Google has ended Android Auto support for Android 9 and Android 10 on wired USB connections, raising the minimum to Android 11. The change appeared quietly on Google's Android Auto support page, which had previously listed Android 9 as the minimum (androidauthority.com). Phones now need Android 11 or newer, an active data plan and a compatible vehicle, and Google also recommends a quality USB cable. The change is a compatibility cut-off with no vulnerability or security impact, so urgency is low. Users of older devices can only regain the feature by moving to an Android 11+ phone or by installing an update on a current device.

Detalhes técnicos

  • Wired Android Auto requires Android 11 (Red Velvet Cake) or newer, an active data plan and a car that supports Android Auto.
  • Android Auto is built into compatible phones, so it does not need to be downloaded.
  • Android Auto is not available on devices running Android (Go edition).
  • Android 11 through Android 17 are listed as fully supported; Android 17 adoption is still low.

Remediação

  • Owners of phones on Android 9 or 10 need either a replacement device running Android 11 or newer, or an available software update on a current device.
  • Check vehicle or stereo compatibility through Google's Android Auto compatibility hub, and contact the car manufacturer for details on the car display.
