Android Auto Offers 7 Customization Options for Launchers, Notifications and Display

Summary
ZDNET highlighted seven Android Auto settings that let users quickly tailor the in-car interface, from app launcher layout and permanent day or night mode to startup audio behavior.
The options span appearance, controls and messaging: users can reorder or hide apps, move media controls, mirror a phone wallpaper, and fine-tune text alerts, chimes and message previews.
Shortcuts and routines add deeper automation, including one-tap actions to call contacts, send preset texts, run Gemini commands or trigger smart-home tasks while driving.
Some settings sit in the phone's Android Auto menu, others on the car screen, and a few require developer mode, but the report says each change takes about a minute.
