Ratings and reviews

Works well with my Pioneer 2600NEX. All the apps work well with my unit. Only issue I have is the outside temp not being shown on the screen. This feature was working about a year ago. Ever since previous updates, this feature is no longer available. I see everyone has the same issue. Can Google add this feature back, since a lot of us live up north. Knowing the temp outside can help us adjust our driving tactics, thus resulting in less accidents while driving in icy conditions.

Could be better.. I like using this when driving, so I can see the map and music at the same time. However, I do not like that you are very limited on what apps you can use through this. I have a music player that plays music from my phone, but this app is forcing me to use a streaming service app for music. -1 star Also, sometimes there is a delay in the map connection and I've missed turns because of this. -1 star

Easy navigation and more. Not a heavy user since I only use it a few times per year in rental vehicles. It has really shined this week while in Italy. The Opel rental car connected easily. The navigation with Google Maps has been excellent. Support for our primary music streaming apps is wonderful also. I'm sure if I could provide a more critical review of other features, but great so far.
