Android Auto users are running into unexpected issues when they connect their new Pixel phones to their cars. Several Google Pixel 11 users have reported strange bugs with Google Maps on Android Auto. Some of these users have reported their screen freezing, stuttering, or showing random black static while using Google Maps on their Android Auto-enabled automobiles.
Google Maps on Android Auto is freezing and showing choppy visuals
Several Google Pixel 11 users have reported on Reddit and the Android Auto community forums that some bugs are causing issues with the Google Maps app in their cars. Many of these reports mention that these bugs make Google Maps almost unusable on Android Auto when paired with their Pixel 11 smartphone. The visual issues appear over both wired and wireless connections, meaning a bad cable is not to blame.
Some Pixel 11 users have reported getting a low frame rate, choppy visuals, and even full screen freezes on their car displays. Sometimes, the Google Maps app turns into pixelated black static. The rest of the user interface may stay normal, so users are able to use other apps like YouTube Music without a hitch.Â
Furthermore, the user complaints on Reddit and Android Auto forums indicate that basic troubleshooting steps don’t fix the issues. Affected users have tried clearing app data, reinstalling the app, or switching cables. However, none of these fixes resolve the visual glitches. Apart from the vanilla Pixel 11, these problems also extend to the larger Pro and Pro XL variants.
Google is aware of the issue and building a software patch
Google is actively aware of the situation of the Google Maps app on Android Auto and its bugs. The company is currently looking into fixing these issues. It has escalated reports on its support forums and started reaching out to affected Pixel 11 users to capture more details.
At the moment, there’s no permanent fix Google is offering for these problems. Some users have reported that using a beta version of the app helped them slightly. However, it didn’t completely stop the stuttering. We are keeping an eye out and will inform you once Google releases a software patch, so stay tuned.
