Android auto - how to enable developer mode

Previously in Android Auto app I could open the Auto app and tap on the header image about 10 times, then you'll get a toast message telling you that developer mode is accessible from the overflow menu. But since the update I'm not able to turn on developer mode anymore. Is there a new way to do it ?

It use to be like this but now the app is updated and there is still a header image but its a microphone now as shown below which does nothing when clicked:

  • Quoting from androidpolice.com:

    Developer Mode

    Finally, a note about developer mode, since a few people will certainly ask. It's still there and accessible in basically the same way. Instead of tapping several times on the lead image, you'll want to give ten quick taps right on the words "Android Auto" in the action bar. Just like before, a toast message will confirm that it worked. But don't expect anything new in the developer options screen, it's identical to the previous version.
