Ratings and reviews

When it works, it is good. However, always seems to be a disconnect between my phone and my android auto cable connection. When it disconnects, have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to 'reset' until 30 seconds later, it does it again, and then again, and then again, and [my point exactly]. It continues disconnecting, even though the cord seems fine. Tried other cords too, they're worse than the original one. Is Android Auto aware of Bluetooth and connecting wirelessly?!

Recent Android driving mode changes are a huge downgrade for users without in-car Android Auto. The old, seamless integration of calls and music with navigation is gone, replaced by distracting full-screen interruptions and disjointed controls. This makes driving less safe and more frustrating. Plus, it's now a privacy concern for rental/work vehicles, making me wary of connecting my phone due to potential data logging. Please restore the integration

Update 3/29: This app is trash. It does not work with older model vehicles that suppose to be equipped with this. Seems like I am having the same issues as others are posting prior to my post. It was working fine 2 weeks ago but now my device is not being recognized. I have switched to 5 different cords and even ordered a new one where it gives me the same reading of my phone not being recognized. Hopefully you will get this resolved soon.
