Really helpful that it casts to the screen in my vehicle. I also greatly appreciate being able to use the Google Assistant for texting, phone calls, etc. The only negative that I have found could very well be my phone and not the app - however - there are times the audio feed won't connect. It doesn't matter what adjustments I make on the phone or on the vehicle. It simply doesn't work.

I have had nothing but issues with android Auto! It randomly connects and disconnects. I literally did all of the things. I updated the app. I restarted my phone. I've restarted my car. Hell,I bought a NEW phone and my new lease provided me with a brand new vehicle. I bought new cables. I've literally done everything. Why can't this app consistently work?! When it does work, it's great, but it's so random and of course poops out in the middle of using the navigation to a place I've never been!
