Google might be preparing a much-needed redesign for the Android Auto media player

Android Auto split screen mode.

What you need to know

  • Google is said to be testing a redesigned Android Auto media card that prioritizes playback controls over oversized album art.
  • The new layout adds quick-access buttons like Like, Shuffle, and Repeat, depending on the media app you're using.
  • The expanded controls appear to be limited to vehicles with larger infotainment displays, leaving smaller screens with a simplified layout.
