New Cars Import Update All-New Cars
Users of Android Auto report problems with update coolwalk. Apparently they can’t control your apps with the rotary control of the multimedia equipment. Users with complaints have one thing in common: their cars lack a touch screen.
Everything indicates that the problem is linked to the software. The reports point to google maps as one of those responsible.

Maybe the day will come when there will be a de facto planned obsolescence. Companies created software that they no longer support, that is, update them so that only new ones are compatible with system updates.
