Ratings and reviews

When it works, it's great. I can't count on it to connect both wirelessly and wired. Mostly, the wireless is the problem. If it does connect, it might just stop for no reason. Songs stop playing out loud in between tracks sometimes (the track progresses but no sound comes out). If it weren't so glitch, I would love it.

The connection issues are very real. I use a dongle in my 21' CR-V hybrid. Until the recent update everything was fine. Now, my phone on the swipe down screen is showing looking for AA. I have to now swipe down to show active apps, and stop AA. THEN , within seconds it opens itself, and immediately connects to my car. It's a pain having to get my phone out every time. It also does this wired too. BTW, I noticed with my car off, and me nowhere near the car, phone is searching for AA

I thought it was only me! I have to hit uninstall, then update every other time I get in the car for it to work via Bluetooth. Love it when it works properly, though. Update 10/15/24: read a bunch of recent posts that say exactly what I am experiencing! No consistent connection. Disconnects at the worst time. With or without a cable! Update 11/9/24: latest update seems to be pretty seamless in it's wireless connectivity with my 2023 Genesis G90. The stop signs and lights on the map are a bonus.
