Android Auto + Brax3: Light background with light text

alabamatoy — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 21:53:22 GMT

The background is a very pale blue, almost white. Lettering is white. Its virtually unreadable, and unacceptably bright at night. Its bad enough that I can no longer use the app after dark. I have confirmed behavior across 3 different Android Auto equipped vehicles.

With white lettering the background should be black. How do I change this?

BTW, the available labels list has nothing for display problems

Hi @alabamatoy

Welcome to the community!

Happy to take a closer look for you. Could you please share a picture of what you’re seeing when using Android Auto?

You can upload pictures directly here in the community, this is easiest to do this from a mobile device or web browser. Please note that images can’t be shared through the email notification you may receive.

Thanks for the help!

Hi @alabamatoy!

Thanks! This is incredibly helpful! I’ve shared your experience with our engineering team so they can take a closer look.

Just to confirm a few details:

Are you using the same Android device in both experiences?
What is the make and model of your Android?
Which version of Android OS are you on?
Does this happen with every song, or only specific ones?

Thanks for the help with these additional questions!

Yes

Brax3

Which version of Android OS are you on?

All songs.

Also, I have a third Android Auto, an older Atoto indash unit, and it does same thing. I just didnt photo it.

Hi @alabamatoy

Thanks for confirming your phone model and for letting us know about your experience.

While the BraX3 is based on Android OS, it runs on its own operating system, iodéOS, a variation of Android.

Because iodéOS isn’t fully supported with Pandora, this can sometimes lead to compatibility issues like the one you’re seeing with Android Auto.

I’ve gone ahead and forwarded your report to our team for further review. Thanks for being part of the community!
