Anyone know what's going on with the android auto update? They just did a big update and changed a lot of the interface. I tried downloading it a few days ago but it still looks the same. Anyone have any info on it? Thanks.

It's a server side switch. Try force closing the app, then clearing the data. That worked for me. You have to go to the settings and select try new interface, or something like that

Don't sweat it. You could do all kinds of gymnastics to get the update and then still have the old UI. I'm in that boat. Until Big G does some server side update you can't get the new UI even if you have the new AA app.

Uninstalled AA rebooted and reinstalled same new version as it updated with earlier.
However, this time I get the "try new interface" and shows up on my 12.
Just a thought until it's more mainstream.

I had to completely uninstall the Android Auto app and reinstall. Only then, did I get the "Try the New Android Auto" option. Seems to work well. Also, I am able to see Google Maps on the top and on the bottom, I can see the album art and the name of the song from Spotify. Better than before. Although it's not the full Spotify, at least I can see some of the information. Not sure why the artist name doesn't display though
Thanks everyone. I ended up clearing the data and cache then deleting the app. I plugged it back into the truck then it reinstalled. After going through the process it asked me if I wanted to update then use try the new interface and it worked.

I finally got the new interface to work. It only took me 45 minutes of force stop, clear cache, clear data, uninstall, reboot, reinstall and repeat! 
I was getting either a connection error message or the message stating to follow the instructions on my mobile device. But AA wasn't displaying on my mobile device!
I got it to work but I have no idea how.
Funny thing is, it started to work right after I uttered a few choice words and said 'to heck with it, I'll just keep using my iPhone 5s for music!'
