Ratings and reviews

I recommend this to improve your driving experience. Nice integration that for the most part works. Remaining issues: 1. Doesn't always just start when you start car. 2. If it asks for reply it sometimes doesn't hear something as simple as yes or no, so you repeat and then when it does hear it gives you yes yes yes. 3. Seems to occasionally get itself mixed up with cars (Renault) other navigation system.

I'm not sure if it's just my phone model or if Android Auto issue. Connecting by Bluetooth to my car for wireless AA is very flaky. The only way to fix it when it doesn't connect is by turning bluetooth off and then on again from my phone. This is pretty poor by today's standard. There must be a way for the app to restart bluetooth on the handset automatically when the connection fails? Samsung S24 Ultra

My phone, but in my car! 9/10. Somehow, the only option is the best option. The UI changes every year or so and in my opinion it gets harder to use. Much more importantly, for safety: Give us a global pause button that is always on screen and never moves around! At least a mute toggle. Sometimes you just need your music to stop because you're driving a mechanized battering ram, and that's more important than finding the app that is making noise
