Android Auto has been rumored to be getting an enormous overhaul for months, however now we all know what Google’s in-car navigation system will seem like.

First spotted again in September, the brand new model of Android Auto is codenamed “Coolwalk” and might be accessed proper now with a little bit of tinkering and endurance. AndroidWorld, an Italian Android web site, just lately tore down the Android Auto APK model 7.3 to look into a few of the new options coming down the pipeline (through XDA Developers).

Coolwalk might be one of the vital important design overhauls for Android Auto since 2019, when Google added the underside dock that’s in use now. The upcoming improve provides a hamburger-style menu for issues like climate and shuffling via music. It’s a lot much less distracting than the present interface, the place an app can take over the entire display, requiring you to succeed in over and press the again button to get again to navigation. The level of this new interface is to maintain your eye on maps as you’re driving. The prime standing bar can also be consolidated into the underside dock, permitting extra room on the principle display.

Curiously, there’s a “Cast” app that appeared within the APK teardown with the identify “MirroringApp.” It does what it advertises: mirrors your smartphone to the car’s embedded display. A Reddit user was capable of confirm this function’s existence on a rooted system and included another screenshot of the brand new Android Auto.

The teardown additionally revealed Google is engaged on including a straightforward reply choice for incoming calls that you may’t reply. A 3rd button will decline the decision and ship a textual content message with a fast reply. It sounds just like a function that exists when receiving textual content messages via Android Auto, whereby it’ll supply a immediate to ship a reply with a, “Sorry, I’m driving!” notice.

These options aren’t public-facing within the present iteration of Android Auto, nor have they been confirmed by Google. But they do point out that Google’s been understanding the kinks in its automotive software program—therefore final 12 months’s phase-out of the phone-only model of Android Auto, which I’m nonetheless mourning. (I nonetheless haven’t discovered a substitute.) Google has additionally added extra options to Android Auto prior to now 12 months, like in-car video games and wi-fi funds on the gasoline station.

For all of the enhancements Google’s made, Android Auto nonetheless leaves some issues to be desired. Whatever this large improve really entails, here’s to hoping the result’s streamlined software program that I don’t need to take a couple of minutes to arrange each time I drive.
