Google has issued an update aimed at resolving one of the key Android Auto problems affecting Pixel 10 users, though not all of the bugs have been squashed. The hotly anticipated v15.0 update is now being pushed out and is designed to fix the grey screen issue some users experienced when connecting their phone to Android Auto.
Owners of the Pixel 10 began reporting trouble when the device started shipping in late August. Common complaints included Android Auto freezing, UI elements failing to load properly, constant display refreshes, connectivity failures, and of course, the grey screen when connecting. These issues were especially frustrating because Android Auto is a major feature for those who use their phones regularly in vehicles.
According to Google, updating to Android Auto version 15.0 (or higher) should resolve the grey-screen problem. The company has acknowledged user feedback via its support channels, directing people to install the new version.
However, reports from some users indicate that while the grey screen problem has improved (for them), other bugs — particularly connectivity issues and freezing — remain unaddressed. For example, some users say they’re being asked to enable notifications even when they already are enabled. Others say their phone still fails to maintain a stable connection with their car radio or display.
The new version doesn’t yet include fixes for these remaining problems. Google’s September security patch (which covers the Pixel lineup, including the Pixel 10) includes a variety of other general improvements, but no official patch targeting the leftover Android Auto issues has been announced yet.
In short: update to v15.0 if you’re having the grey screen issue, but don’t expect everything to be perfect. Google still needs to work on improving connectivity, eliminating freezing, and ensuring Android Auto works smoothly in all supported vehicles.
If you own a Pixel 10 and rely on Android Auto often, keep an eye out for future updates — more comprehensive fixes are likely coming.
