Default Updating the Android Auto

Hi all, just bought a new Mazda6 GTR and loving it. I see that Google is pushing out some significant updates to Android Auto. Is that something I need to update on my car or is the app on my phone what updates and it just projects?

So whenever an update is pushed I have to visit the dealership? How will I know it's available? And is there no way to implement via USB?

Yes its loaded via a USB stick. If you can find a pirate copy, you can do it yourself.

In my country, MZD updates ( which cover/include android auto) are free for the life of the vehicle. Just ask for a update every time you visit the service department.
