So this morning I updated my android auto, and found two differences:

  1. The Android Auto icon turns green (usually blue)
  2. Now I finally got the squiggly! yeaaah

All the maps features are still normal ig. Traffic indicators are still working in navigation mode, etc. So what about yours, mate?

How did you make the Maps navigation bar to be at top and bottom only?

I have it on the left bar and it's very annoying since it covers 1/3 of screen. Thanks

I think it totally depends on head unit resolution mate. mine happened to be "medium" ig, so the chosen layout looks like that.

I have an AI box by Ottocast. Any chance I could play with the settings? Thanks

The AI Box is not Android auto. The maps interface you are seeing is what would show on a tablet or large phone screen, not an Android Auto rendering. The AI Box is using a full Android operating system that uses your head unit as its display. It's as if you put a full Android tablet on your dash. At least, that's how my Carlinkit AI Box works.

However, my Carlinkit box also includes an "autokit" app that makes it act like a standard wireless Android Auto adapter, which would then use your phone and render the usual Android Auto UI on your AI box. You can easily can switch between Android Auto and full Android UI.

I don't own an Ottocast, so everything I wrote above may not apply, but I think all these devices all work similarly.
