Castbox is recognized by AA. And I can confirm it works perfectly.

On your phone trying going into app info, and clear cache (not data) then reboot and try connecting to truck again. I didn't have to do this but have with other apps totally not related to AA or truck.

Does anyone know of a weather app that works with AA? I know Google assistant will tell you the weather if you ask, but would prefer an actual app. Radar would be a big bonus.

I got the option on Tuesday....finally.

Another person that works in my office, has the same phone, on the same cell plan (company phones) and drives the same truck as me and lives 2km from my house....he got the update last week already. I have no idea how Google decided to roll this out.

You install AA on your phone from the play store then run through the setup and allow everything. Plug your phone into the USB port and it will auto start on your sync screen.
Easy peasy.

The Google Podcast app works well with AA, though I'm still trying to decide whether or not I like the actual app.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get Waze or Google Maps to switch into night mode on AA? The bright white screen is nearly blinding when it's dark out.
