Ratings and reviews

The features are great. However, being hardwired in it keeps losing connection. It's really frustrating and kinda upsetting that you spend so much time to get things working for it to disconnect randomly when a full Hard wired connection is provided. All software is updated and available. So unless it's a firmware issue then it's limited to the original software

Android auto connectivity issues. The connection cycles in and out randomly. Sometimes if trust doesn't connect at all. What's going on with the new Google Maps version inside of Android auto? I can no longer see directions ahead of time. It just tells me a hundred feet before a turn. Bring back preview of steps. To developer responder: You realize I can't click your links in your response right? 😂 Also, your FAQ wasn't helpful.

Generally helpful. I like being able to see the map on my car screen, hands-free. However, everything but music is too low to hear, even with my phone's volume at max. Features like GPS directions and text-to-speech are unusable, which means I do have to take my eyes off the road more. My rating would be 5 stars if this one important probem were fixed.
