Ratings and reviews

The app is limited to your basic controls like phone calls, GPS and maps, and a few music apps like Amazon music. There are times when the phone loses functionality like the ability to make a call or maps not work. Overall the experience is decent but could be better with more development. I do experience issues with connections. Many times I have to disconnect and reconnect to get the car unit to play music from the phone.

I LOVE Android Auto, but it hasn't been working for me recently. Every few days, it will suddenly stop connecting. I've tried different cords, I forget the devices and start over, I check the apps for updates, and it reconnects... Sometimes. And then a few days later it stops again and I have to start trouble shooting again. Considering it worked half an hour ago when I drove to one location and now on the way home again it doesn't work, it's pretty frustrating.

Android Auto is awesome. However, it disconnects on me randomly. It eventually reconnects. Not much of an issue when I have music playing but it's a bummer when I have Google maps on (which is much better than the native maps in my car). Connecting via wire doesn't work either. This might not be android autos fault, but I don't have multiple cars to try it on and figure out.
