Do you use developer mode in Android Auto? Over 4,100 votes were cast in this survey, and the most popular pick was “I didn’t know it was an option,” accounting for ~36% of all votes. I imagine that many polled users haven’t thought about this option, as Android Auto is such a departure from traditional Android phones.
Meanwhile, ~22% of surveyed readers said they haven’t tried developer mode but would like to. Rounding out the podium was “yes, I use it frequently,” as ~19.5% of respondents said they constantly used this Android Auto feature.
Finally, 12.4% of surveyed readers said they had no need for developer mode in Android Auto, while 9.5% said they only used it for specific settings.
In other words, 51.4% of respondents use Android Auto’s developer mode in some capacity or would like to do so. Meanwhile, 48.6% of surveyed readers either didn’t know it was an option or said they had no need for it.
