Android Auto Thursday

[Samo23]

I'm still holding out for native Android Auto...or bust.

See you in 2026

See you in 2026

If no Android Auto by then, I'll have a different car. Can't do this.

Mine arrived yesterday and after replugging the dongle it connects with no issues
Few points about the implementation of the dongle:
1.Music info gets transmitted to the driver display, but more often than not there's a huge lag/the song info will get stuck on a previous song
2. The system is stuck in day mode, persumingly because it is not processing the lighting inputs from Lucid, which means your Google maps and Waze will be blinding you at night. I tried to change the day/night mode to be phone controlled but seems like this feature has been broken for months. Thanks Google.....
3. It seems like navigation and music are mixed into one stream, so you can't adjust the volume separately, just like if you connected using Bluetooth.

Glad someone else besides me was able to get the dongle to work
Yes, I also saw issues 1, 2, and 3.
On 1, I mostly use Musicolet to play songs stored on my phone and there is no lag there, I have seen some lag with Amazon music but not too bad.
On 2, I have set up AA to always run in night mode but more often than not, the map stays in day mode. Noticed the map turns into night mode at random times not matching actual day or night time. Sent an email to the the dongle support team, so far no response.
