The new Android Auto. The big change is the system bar at the bottom, which can now show tiny app controls. Here are music controls. [credit: Google ]
Android Police first spotted the update to Google's Android Auto support page, which lists the compatible Samsung models. Samsung flagships from the Galaxy S8 and newer are supported, so that's the S8, Note8, S9, Note9, S10, and Note10. Along with those Samsung phones and every Google phone going back to the Nexus 5X, that's it for the list of wireless-compatible Android Auto phones. For a feature that launched 20 months ago, that's not very good.
Your car needs to be compatible with Wireless Android Auto for this to work, too, and the car compatibility list is even sadder than the phone list. Zero cars support Android Auto Wireless right now. To quote Google's FAQ page on the subject, "Android Auto wireless is only available with select models of JVC, Kenwood, and Pioneer aftermarket stereos, at this time."
