I tried out using ABRP for navigation through Android Auto. A $4.99/month ABRP subscription is required to do this.

Another user (@geosynch) mentioned that ABRP was able to pull battery state-of-charge (SOC) data directly from his car though the AA connection.
I have used the third-party Enode car data link in the past to make this connection, but have turned it off since.

When I tried navigating via ABRP on AA without re-establishing the Enode connection, ABRP showed my car's SOC from months ago when I had enabled the Enode connection. Driving around further, ABRP appeared to be dynamically estimating a newly reduced SOC value periodically from the old SOC starting point from months ago.

As an experiment I re-established the Enode connection and the SOC shown by ABRP corrected to the value my car currently had, with about a five-minute delay. ABRP tracked the car's actual SOC while driving, though again about five minutes behind.

Just wondering what others' experiences are, and if my prior data connection though Enode may have somehow prevented ABRP from pulling live SOC data through AA.
