- Android Auto Of “Personal Intelligence” settings see new developments.
- Analyzing the app files of the “Android Auto” app v17.9 for Android confirmed that resource code related to the new “Personal Intelligence” setting “Personal results in this car” has been added.
- Currently still implemented internally as a hidden setting.
In early September 2026, we reported in our original app file analysis content “App Teardown” on our site “Jetstream” that resource code regarding “Personalization (Personal Intelligence)”—a new Gemini-related setting following Google AI “Gemini” and “Gemini Live”—has been added to the Google car operating system Android Auto.
Although the “Personal Intelligence” settings in Android Auto have not yet started rolling out, there have been new developments, so we would like to report on them.

As a result of analyzing the app files of the “Android Auto” app v17.9 released on Friday, October 2, 2026, we confirmed that resource code related to the new “Personal Intelligence” setting “Personal results in this car” has been added. Additionally, the settings UI screen based on this has also been identified.
Specifically, “Personal results in this car” appears to allow “Gemini” to provide personalized responses to users utilizing information from “Connected Apps” such as “Gmail” and “Google Calendar.” However, because the resource code to make the setting visible is set to “isPreferenceVisible=”false”,” it is currently implemented internally as a hidden setting. This likely means that preparations for the rollout are progressing significantly behind the scenes.

<bool name="settings_gemini_personalization_default">true</bool>In addition, it appears that when the “Personal results in this car” feature becomes available, a message will be displayed on the screen to notify users, reading: “Gemini with Personal Intelligence is ready. To turn it off in this car, go to settings.”
