The most recent version of Android auto completely killed Android auto on my Galaxy S7/car. Instead of opening with Android auto, it tried to open using mirrorlink and samsung car mode (which i soon found out is hot garbage). So after struggling to set up samsung mirrorlink and car mode in stop and go traffic since it blocks out any interaction while moving, the app finally launched and the only things present were messages, phone, and settings - none of the buttons were functional. Completely useless app, especially when driving.
To fix this, I had to uninstall Samsung car mode, Samsung "carmoderemote", and go into system apps and disable mirrorlink, then press and hold the power button on my infotainment for 30 seconds to hard reset the unit. Once it reset, it booted directly into the normal android auto window on the infotainment unit. Hopefully this post can save someones frustration, it took my whole 40 minute commute to figure out what was going on and fix it.
