Ratings and reviews

I am really enjoying Android Auto. I only wish that Amazon Music or other apps worked smoothly, they don't, and I find that to be an irritation. When parked, and selecting playlists, through the vehicle console, the Amazon Music app seems to have a mind of its own, and I find that highly annoying. I prefer the USB-C connection over the wireless.

Getting error "voice commands are not available." How am I supposed to use hands-free if I can't use my voice?? Also, Google assistant is still garbage. Different results for the same prompt, can't answer basic questions, and defaults to "Sorry I don't understand" for an unbelievable amount of basic commands. Infuriating.

the app works well, but I've noticed that on after-market stereos, it works haphazardly. If your last use was the stereo, when you get back in your car, it will play the radio and then turns off when loading the android features. I always have to go back to the main menu to go back to the radio. On an OEM android included in new cars, it works well. This feature does kill your battery, and if your phone gives you a usage report, it will say that you used your phone while driving
