Android Auto update to version 11.5 in a stable way, so that everyone can install it despite not being part of the elusive beta program. Android Auto 11.5 beta was official just a week ago and the previous stable version, Android Auto 11.4, arrived exactly two weeks ago and without beta.
Android Auto 11.5 brings to all users the changes to the icons that it has been preparing for some versions. With them, applications that can only be used when the car is stationary appear highlighted with a new P icon of parking, while in the past they did it with the icon of a car.

Once again, it’s time to update Android Auto, especially if you’re not part of the beta program on Google Play. As usual, Google hasn’t updated the Android Auto 11.5 changelog, so we’ve tested for novelties.
Android Auto 11.5 stable remains the same as Android Auto 11.5 beta, so the only visible change that we have found is the insignia of the P on app icons that can only be opened when the car is not moving: GameSnacks minigames and Personalizewhich opens the Android Auto settings on the mobile.

This change builds on top of the icon change that was introduced late last year, which takes advantage of the system’s adaptive icons to make them adopt the same shape we have on mobile, instead of always being round. Incidentally, we have the side effect that calendar icon shows the date of the day, while previously it showed an icon of a calendar without a number. This change is not new, but was introduced at the same time as the new icon shapes.
For the rest, Google is activating the summaries of pending messages with AI, although it does not seem to be widespread and is not exclusive to a specific Android Auto update.
