Ratings and reviews

I need the option to switch my audio output, and remove the requirement of having the Bluetooth saved of the car's radio, I don't want my phone automatically connecting to the car's radio just because I wanted to warm up my car. These features alone or the lackthereof is the main reason why I keep an iPhone on my pocket, Carplay is much more superior in giving the user freedom of peripherals.

Update: the app is working very well and integrated several other apps. Using it is easier than some other navigation apps I've installed to try. Initially, I was having trouble connecting the app, however it was due to my security choice for how my phone's USB behaves. After connecting my phone to the car via USB, I had to swipe down and go to the bottom to select new USB behavior. Since then, it's been fantastic! Access to voice commands and saved audio has been easy and intuitive.

Great when it works and it works 90% of the time (cord in or otherwise) but when it's connected by Bluetooth while it's plugged in it upsets me because It won't switch when the connection gets unstable or I'll ry and push the button to activate it in my car at it will just load endlessly and stop for no explanation. Aside from my connection issues this does allow me to see where I need to go and listen to my favorite music, so when it works, it's worth it :)
