Beta test Android Auto

If you have an Android phone,* you can join our beta tester program. In the program, you get early access to new features and updates in Android Auto before they’re released to the general public.

As a beta tester, you can help us build a better version of Android Auto. You can test how well new features work with your specific phone and vehicle in your part of the world.  When you share your feedback, we’ll use it to help plan improvements for future releases.

Important: We ask that you don’t publicize or share the features you’re testing until they’re publicly available.

*Note: Learn what you need to use Android Auto with your Android phone and vehicle, and the countries where it’s available.
