What car do you have?

2012 MazdaSpeed3 has Bluetooth for audio and phone, I don't think my 2008 Subaru Outback has Bluetooth, just Aux (3.5 mm stereo socket). Of course I have 12V charging cables. Also have OBDLink ORB-2 Bluetooth to monitor/reset things in either car, or possibly monitor speed, rpm, etc. with video recording app on the phone for competition (TrackAddict app).

I really like it, nice car. Plenty of room for me and the dogs, handles well and has a smooth ride. It was the dealer loaner so only had 2200 miles on it, I got a decent deal I think. It's blue, I'm still stuck on that, black is better LOL
mmmmm black, love black. My car, my wifes car, my son's car...all black.
A bit heavy on the upkeep but well worth it. :D

Henry Ford was on to something. This is a dark blue so not horrible, but not black :rolleyes: The price one pays for a used car I guess...

I had a dark blue Celica once. It had a bit of an oil problem. I couldn't fill it up as quick as it was drinking it. One day I put my foot down to join the A1 (dual carriageway/maybe highway in America) and I blew the bottom end out. Honestly the biggest anticlimax I've ever seen. No smoke whatsoever, I just came to an abrupt stop in a big puddle of oil :D

A requirement for my car was ability to get the dog cage in the back. These things are important.

That's the way I would buy it. Loaners get you great deals.

As far as Android Auto, I don't know. I've heard rumors about it being a licensing issue or something and maybe in 2019.

TBH, we don't have alot of power android user customers at our dealership. Most of them don't even use bluetooth.

Lack of AA wasn't a show-stopper of course, it would just be nice. The 'infotainment' system is decent, Mazda maps suck compared to Google's though. I put my tunes on a mini thumb drive and can use Pandora and calls are easy enough (and clear!). I just want what I can't have and it's blue lmao :thinking:

We just lost a customer due to lack of AA compatibility. They (Mazda) really needs to get it working and hopefully it will next year but I will believe it when I see it
