Not quite sure what the laughter is for.

 

Android Auto allows you to voice to text on text message and FB messenger. along with the other benefits others have already listed

 

Thanks for the info. I'll download the app and see if i like it. Is it a blue tooth interface or USB?

 

I've been a Sirius /XM subscriber for 16 years. I love it and will always be a subscriber.

 

Why? I've never had issues with it aside from message notifications not making sound from time to time.
it uses both. Need to plug it in to usb (for screen projection) and it will connect over Bluetooth (for voice call protocol)

 

The navigation that comes stock, how do you update the maps?

 

No issues at all operationally. I was able to put up with it for close to a month before disabling it. Honestly it felt like I was paroled from prison. I'll never use it again.

 

I used Android Auto with my 2019 Ford all last year. It worked great. I left on a trip Monday and plugged in via USB. I have no voice notifications from the maps, neither Waze nor Google maps. I had to watch screen.....After I got where I was going, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all apps, doing a factory reset on Sync and a new USB cord. It still doesnt work. A little internet searching revealed many people are having my problem with a AA update version from earlier this year....If I unplug the phone from the truck, the voice notifications work correctly with both Waze and Google maps.

 

Yea, I'm seeing that too, they broke the voice notifications late last year and still haven't managed to fix 'em, Also mine no longer replies to spoken "Hey Google". and has issues replying to texts. It used to be a great app

 

It may be time for a 12 step reboot
