I have an S4. I know I'm in serious need of an upgrade. I just hate having to re-customize everything.
Android Auto App
Looking at this app, it says it is only compatible with Android 5.0 (lollipop) or greater. Just curious if anyone has downloaded it on kitkat and whether or not they got it to work.
Lollipop is not available for my phone model, and I know I need a new one. Just trying to see if I can postpone that transition.

Do you have lollipop installed?My S4 works fine.
I don't keep any important data on mine.I honestly wouldn't trust using an old android device. so many security holes. You're asking to be hacked.
The play store might not allow it, but I was going to try doing it right from the AA website. Just a thought.JRRF, I got you beat! I still use a Galaxy S3 with 4.4.2. Play store won't let me use AA. I'm one of these weirdos that has to use something until it breaks, if it still works I'm not going to replace it!
Nope. Google only stores an authorization token on your phone.
If you lose your phone you change your password and the token is worthless.authorization token is still a credential. its a revokable credential, but fundamentally no different than username/password. In fact, in a 2FA world, it be worse for an attacker to get that token than to get your username/password.
If you have 2FA you don't even need a token.
The best defense against this is to not run your life out of your phone.It's worse than this. All versions of Android are vulnerable to a bug in the "display over all other apps" feature that Android Auto uses. This vulnerability was disclosed just last week.
