    Why do people use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?

    This question is almost comical for me: As a person of foreign background, Alexa doesn't understand 75% of my "call xxx". AA rarely gets it wrong in the wife's Volvo. Alexa doesn't text reply well, and doesn't have Whatsapp reply capabilities ( good for international chatting) Google maps or...

    FEATURE OTA Update 2.1.47

    Hope you are right!! If so I may not be alone in my hopes that the Homelink button to open or close the garage a la Rivian comes soon!! 😃 It's one of my few daily actions, no longer an immediate click to close my garage...

    Android Auto Thursday

    Thanks for the advice... so far I'm using the AA mirroring and I really like it. I should download the update though, because so far this week my one issue is that it's not starting up consistently. Sometimes I have unplug/plug into the USB, but since we all know it's an awkward location, hard...

    Android Auto Thursday

    So I just bought one, the newest android version is important to have smoother interface. I got an Android 11 version on Amazon the first time, had unreliable connection. I haven't driven since I just installed in garage last night, but does seem smoother. My Lucid music apps kept disconnecting...

    Key fob keeps getting lost

    I think they all work the same way... Airtag, smarttag etc, using the phone network and nearby connections to ping signal. When you look at the Internet reviews, seems the tech for Apple and Samsung are generally similar in accuracy. I'll say the other brands like Tile etc didn't have enough...

    Key fob keeps getting lost

    Agree it's a bit slippery and it falls out of my pocket a bit... Using a Smart tag (have an android phone)

    Some questions about Native Nav

    All valid points! There are some pros, for example I find my navigation and directions to be fine... But agree and hope someone at Lucid is reading this. It would be a great near future update 😃 If they ever engage split screen activity options like you're suggesting, it'll be amazing. I'm sure...

    Some questions about Native Nav

    Yes actually... As you can see, both of these are the same picture, the second is at "max" zoom... But the size is the text never changes in size. Is this different for any of you? The text and the clock font provide reference... I'm sure a future update will address this, but just curious.

    Some questions about Native Nav

    These are taken between 1-2 inches from the screen. Does this help? I think I turned on satellite imagery to see if it helped, but it's seriously like a size 6 font. When driving even with a little bit of road reverberation, it's very challenging to focus enough to see the words.

    Some questions about Native Nav

    This is a great thread, and your picture made me go back to my own car. Is there a setting I don't know about? You can tell the picture I took is more zoomed in than yours, however the text for streets on your nav appears huge compared to mine... This is why I was complaining... The text is...

    Some questions about Native Nav

    I admit I wear glasses, but I don't believe digiboxer mentioned was inaccurate... Unable to enlarge typeface. With my head at the seated position, the text could be easier to view. Hard to compare this with your phone picture, but I admire your eyesight! Agree I did switch to black white and...

    Some questions about Native Nav

    I'm glad you also noticed this... I think I mentioned this in a separate post. 1. I called CS, and sent an email. The font doesn't adjust and it's a silly issue to have, but I agree. The streets are small and points of interest when driving are even smaller. Sort of defeats the purpose. You...

    Survey: are you on iPhone or Android?

    I tend to agree but second the excellence of the Google Assistant. Alexa can't understand me when I try to ask it to text people, use WhatsApp, or ask it to call almost anyone. With Android mid driving, I can just say "get directions to..." And it never fails in our Volvo. Alexa has been really...

    Permanent button for Homelink

    You have empathy in myself! Same issue. I live on a brick paved street... With the bumps, nearly impossible. And no offense but Alexa is not nearly on the level of Android to understand my attempt at commands "close the garage door" etc. A lot of the time things like "lower rear sunshade" don't...

    Android Auto Thursday

    I agree, I hope Android auto comes out soon as well, but I know they did it based on data and numbers. Statistics in the USA suggest most higher income individuals and those more likely to buy expensive things are iphone users by a reasonable margin. They probably did their research and I'd...
