Unfortunately, the affected phones do not seem to have a common denominator. Users from multiple regions, who drive different cars and use different Android phones, have been affected. Even at least one user with an Android phone and iPhone commented that Apple CarPlay was running on their car with the Android Auto bug – much to the frustration of them.
However, it certainly seems that some popular phones are affected.

Is there any solution for this Android Auto bug?
While Google doesn’t have an official solution at the moment, there was a workaround that was recently suggested by a user at Support Forum (Opens in a new tab).

We can’t verify that this solution works, so please proceed with caution if you decide to try it out. However, it is currently the best solution available until Google offers something concrete.
The best advice at the moment is not to update to Android Auto 7.8.6 when your phone is connected to your car.
