Many Pixel 10 users are reporting serious bugs with Android Auto. Testimonies can be found on both Reddit and community forums. The main issue is a frozen screen on the logo of the infotainment system. As a result, those affected no longer have access to the operating system.
The Pixel 10 has just been unveiled and offers strong features. Unfortunately, some bugs have been reported during pairing with Android Auto. The irony is that both the smartphone and the infotainment system are developed by Google. One would expect everything to function smoothly, especially for a device that was just launched.
The Pixel 10 is affected by a bug related to Android Auto
Yet, the smartphone is recognized by the vehicle, and audio playback works through music apps. Users report that after several minutes of waiting, the interface starts to display gradually but remains unstable and unresponsive. Unfortunately for the owners of this model, these difficulties exclusively affect the new Pixel 10. The first buyers are facing this bug right from the first use with Android Auto, which will integrate Gemini this fall.
Fortunately, Google has already identified the problem as a company specialist has responded to the complaints on official forums. He explained that the Mountain View firm is working on a fix and, in the meantime, a complete troubleshooting guide for Android Auto is available. Transferring settings from an old smartphone could be the cause of these bugs. Indeed, the Pixel 9 experienced a similar problem at its launch, and with another manufacturer, Samsung, the Galaxy S25, which is being revealed in its FE version, faced similar issues.
Android Auto is an essential application for many drivers, with 250 million users. The infotainment system allows access to smartphone features from the vehicle’s dashboard screen. However, like any operating system, bugs can occur, especially when launching new products.
In short, users know all too well that with Android Auto, one is never safe from a glitch. This new issue affecting the Pixel 10 illustrates that integrating new smartphones that have been tested in a limited lab environment isn’t always straightforward. When users take them into their hands, that’s when the real challenges arise, revealing problems that slipped past the tests.
There remains only one viable solution for Pixel 10 users using Android Auto: to wait for Google to release a patch. Let’s hope it’s quick.
