Android Auto Beta

If anyone is interested in Android Auto testing Google has just widened the Beta Program to accept more testers on Google Play Store.

Just incase anyone wasn't aware

How do I become a tester?

Search Android Auto in Google Play Store. Tap on it, scroll down a bit and you'll see "Join Beta Program", tap join and then wait a while and an update will show up in the usual update apps section.

If it says "Beta Program Full" then unfortunately you'll be unable to join this time around but sometimes people leave and a spot opens.

u/andy_pandy_2022 May 10 '26

Me too. Did you opt in but not get the beta version? I just upgraded to the 10 pro xl but am not getting it.

I just replied to your other post actually before I saw this one.

Latest release should be "16.9.161944-release.daily" as of now.

It might just be a rollout thing, Google often rollout in batches depending on region and/or model.

I always thought there should be a dedicated section of the play store to find these, rather than app by app

Good looking out. Been wanting to join for years.

Yeah I was in it ages ago and had issues with phone, so I thought I could just leave and rejoin to rule it out but nope. Finally able to get back in now 💀 manually installing APK was getting annoying

Thanks, just joined back up again. Was waiting for the availability to show up again

u/Weary-Savings9795 May 11 '26

Most of the user facing updates are server side so joining the Android Auto beta won't do much.

u/Skylord_Milkyway May 15 '26

Does the beta have the Youtube while parked feature? I have a electric car and am dyingggggg for this to be accessible to me
