KoalaMirror 1.4.1
• Unplugging the car no longer closes everything at once. The countdown is back on your phone — reconnect while it is running and the car screen comes back with your apps still open.

KoalaMirror 1.4.0
• Android Auto's own interface now has its own size setting, separate from the mirrored screen. It resets to your head unit's default after this update — set it again if you had adjusted it.
• Stability and reliability: faster connections, portrait head unit support, and fixes for a black car screen and a floating controller that would not disappear.
• This update changes the mirror engine — re-deploy and restart your phone once after updating.

KoalaMirror 1.3.1
Originally released 2026-08-01. Archived here so you can roll back.
• Press Home or Recents on the car app bar and focus moves to the mirrored screen on its own — no extra press of an arrow key.
• The recent apps panel works with keys alone: turn the dial to pick a card, press to open, press back to close.

KoalaMirror 1.3.0
Originally released 2026-07-28. Archived here so you can roll back.
• Cars without a touchscreen now work. The rotary controller and D-pad move focus across the car home screen, the app bar and your apps — for head units that use a dial or arrow keys instead of touch, such as BMW iDrive, Mazda Commander, Audi MMI and Mercedes-Benz COMAND.
• KoalaMirror keeps working for free. With no activation, or after it expires, Basic mode still mirrors your Android to the car — the car home screen, wallpaper and Enable mirror are managed for you until you activate.
• Switch your phone screen off while you drive. The car screen keeps running instead of going dark with the phone.
• The car home screen installs and updates itself from Google Play. No setup step, and it stays current without waiting for an app update.
• The car app bar now fits narrow and short head unit screens, and its focus highlight follows the car's own theme.
• This version updates the mirror engine, so KoalaMirror will ask you to re-deploy and restart your phone once.

• This version updates the mirror engine: KoalaMirror will ask you to re-deploy and restart your phone once.
• Newer Android Auto versions can now be supported without an app update, taking effect the next time you connect to the car.
