Iâm really chuffed with my new car stereo! Ahhh, modern comforts in an old car. So good to be able to use Android Auto again (though it sucks balls vs CarPlay - hopeless at voice commands, laggy as hell with confirming messages to be sent). Still, no more squinting at a phone in a cradle to see directions, and not being able to see or respond to urgent messages. No more phone blocking the vents or crackly radio either.
Sadly the front right speaker intermittently working seems to be a speaker issue, not a wire issue :/ it doesnât sound nearly as bad now that the audio is much clearer, but gosh it would be nice to have that speaker working. I wonder if itâs possible to replace just one speaker, because the others are perfectly fineâŚ
Here it is already heavily smudged by moi (I must remember to have a little glass wiping cloth in the car)

Replaio is an Android Auto friendly app, so some sweet SomaFm in the car ;-)

I actually used to use Replaio for quite a while! But didnât know it could play SomaFM stations⌠I used it until it stopped playing PBS FM for some reason and the devs didnât fix it despite reports. I actually use the official app for SomaFM, itâs good (havenât used it via AA for many months tho). Looking forward to cruising around to some tunes

Yeah the PBS thing is a bit funny. Also, Hey Google stream Groove Salad SomaFm will work for a bit, then not work, then work for a bit etc âŚ

I had better luck with CarPlay (work iPhone), I gotta say. Worked about 80% of the time. Android Auto is very glitchy for me (across very different cars). Sometimes I say ânoâ once it thinks Iâve said ânoâ like four times, but then if I donât want to send a message or reply it takes up to a minute to register ânoââŚ
