If you\u2019re someone who cares about how your screen looks, it can be incredibly unpleasant to have to look at a panel where blacks now look grey. This is a problem that appears to be affecting multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-auto-problems-fixes-3168245\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Auto<\/a> users after a recent update.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AndroidAuto\/comments\/1mojhcb\/aa_contrast_too_highblack_gray_after_update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Reddit<\/a>, Android Auto users are reporting that a recent update may have caused the contrast on their screens to go haywire. The displays look so washed out that some users thought this bug was an intentional design change by Google. It also appears that you can\u2019t fix the problem by adjusting your vehicle display settings.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_sg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"aa contrast too high black gray after update v0 x7vkskkrnnif1\"  alt=\"aa contrast too high black gray after update v0 x7vkskkrnnif1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/aa-contrast-too-high-black-gray-after-update-v0-x7vkskkrnnif1.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>One user says, \u201cEverything is so faded now, as if someone cranked the contrast to 11.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s so annoying and I can\u2019t find a fix at all, it just looks complete garbage now and it especially bad at night,\u201d another user replied. \u201cREALLY wanting a fix for this ASAP, it was miles better before some update has ruined it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re running into this problem as well, there may be a temporary fix. One commenter claims that clearing data and cache from the Android Auto app tends to work in the short term.\u00a0Android Authority has contacted Google about the issue and whether a long-term fix is on the way.
