Google Fixes 2 Android Auto Bugs in 17.4, Sends Pixel 10 Car Patch to Dealerships

Summary
Android Auto 17.4 fixes a bug that made wired and wireless connections drop or freeze every few minutes on some phones and head units, Google said.
The glitch first appeared in version 17.1, survived 17.2 and 17.3, and often hit after about 3 minutes on aftermarket units, with reports across Pixel and Samsung devices.
Google also resolved a separate Pixel 10 connectivity problem affecting Skoda, Volkswagen and Seat cars, but that fix requires a software update to the vehicle's head unit.
Play Store users may wait for the 17.4 fix because Google's rollout is gradual, while affected Volkswagen Group owners must contact local dealerships for the car-side patch.
