## The beginning of the problem

Android Auto 17.2 users started reporting frequent app crashes and disconnections. This issue made the platform nearly unusable and caused significant inconvenience for users.

## Temporary solution

After the issue first emerged, the best option for users was to revert to an older version of Android Auto. However, this was not a permanent fix, and users were waiting for a solution from Google.

## Google's statement

Google explained on Reddit that the issue was caused by some uncertified aftermarket car radios. This situation affected a small subset of users.

## Update details

Google released a fix for both stable (17.2.662638) and beta (17.3.662813) version users. Installing the update will resolve the crashes and disconnections.

## What users need to do

Google recommends users check for and install the latest update. This will eliminate issues like disconnections and crashes.

## Outcome and expectations

Google's quick response restores user confidence. However, details about the aftermarket products causing the issue remain a topic of curiosity.
