    This makes no sense to me. How do these two devices that are currently working together stop functioning? Does it require updating/auto updating the software on your phone to kill it? Seems ridiculous.

    Or is this saying newer head units installed in cars might require a newer version of Android Auto that won’t work on an older phone OS?

      This looks to be Google ending support for the Android Auto framework on older Android versions, that’s all. It’s not about the car, it’s about the phone.

        I mean, Android Auto runs on your phone and just transmits the video/audio to your car so yeah. It’s just like any other app dropping support for older versions of the OS.
