A prompt will show up during the installation, so make sure you allow the process to complete. Remember that special installation permissions are required, as Android doesn't allow sideloading in the default configuration. Once you download Android Auto 9.7 on your phone, you must browse to its location and tap the file to begin the update. The process is called sideloading, and it allows users to manually install apps and new versions without relying on the Google Play Store. Users who want to install Android Auto 9.7 without waiting must download the APK installer manually on their device.

The issue appeared after Android Auto activated the Coolwalk design, and given no downgrade option is available (other than going back to a much older app version), users are still waiting for a fix. The lower part of the screen (including the navigation bar at the bottom) freezes completely, making it impossible for users to interact with their apps. One of the most widespread glitches occurs after the Coolwalk update. Users are currently struggling with several important problems, including random disconnects and freezes occurring either on launch or in the middle of the drive. If the focus was indeed fixing major bugs in Android Auto, Google certainly had a lot of work on this front. The company never ships a changelog unless the new version includes a major new feature – in which case Google publishes a blog post to announce it. If you're a long-time Android Auto user, you're unlikely to be surprised, as this is part of Google's typical release strategy for the app. The bigger problem is that Android Auto 9.7 comes without a changelog.

Surprisingly, a beta build for this particular release never reached the web, so this time, we're getting the stable update directly, presumably as Google resolved an important bug in the app. The new version is 9.7, and it reached the production channel literally a few minutes ago. As such, manual downloading is the only option if you don't want to wait for the new version to show up on the Play Store. On the other hand, the Play Store release model means the new version ships to devices out there in waves, so some users will have to wait longer than others to receive Android Auto 9.7.
