    If you don’t update Android Auto, maybe. Apps still rely on the framework that makes it work, so you are likely to have those break if they use features that Android Auto didn’t have at the update freeze.

    The version they’re cutting off is really old, relatively speaking. You have to be on Oreo or later (8.0+), which came out in 2017.
    Many apps you would use Android Auto will likely bump up to this break point soon. Waze, for example, is 7.0+. You’re bound to run into issues being on Nougat or earlier soon, if not already.
