Everyone expected that with the arrival of version 8.0 of Android Auto, the Coolwalk interface that was announced at Google I/O in 2022 would finally debut. However, this did not happen and it seems that we will have to wait until Android Auto 9 to be able to enjoy of this new look.
A couple of weeks ago version 8.4 of Android Auto arrived, which did not bring important news. And now, Google has released yet another new update to this app in which, again, there is no trace of Coolwalk . That’s right, Android Auto 8.5 is now official and, like the previous version, it doesn’t have much to highlight either.
No news and with the same design: this is Android Auto 8.5
A few days ago it was announced that Android Auto would stop working on phones running Android 6.0 or 7.0 and for many this was a sign that Google was ready to launch Coolwalk in the next app update. Well, the Android Auto 8.5 beta is now available and, unfortunately, it didn’t come with the interface redesign that everyone expected.
Those who are part of Google’s beta tester program are already receiving Android Auto 8.5 as part of an OTA update. Aren’t you part of it? Well, don’t worry, you can download the APK of this version using the link below to install the Android Auto 8.5 beta on your mobile:

Now, you should know that everyone who has tried this new version of Android Auto has come to the same conclusion: it has nothing visible and no new features that you can take advantage of. For the time being, installing this new version will only be useful to keep the app updated and thus be one of the first to receive future updates.
And you… Do you think we will have to wait until Android Auto 9 to receive Coolwalk?
