Quick question for those with Full Link and Android, how's it working for you so far?
Tried both iPhone and Android (HTC One M8) in the car so far (MY16 unit) and so far found:
- iPhone connects up instantly and CarPlay seems to work well
- Android Auto is buggy and crashes or sometimes puts audio out through the phone instead of the HU sometimes
- once Android Auto is paired it seems to override MirrorLink despite what I set on the HU
- voice control to change tracks etc. is cool on Android Auto but does need a screen navigation to select artists etc. as I imagine if there's no 4G signal at the time it won't work as Google relies on the cloud for voice recognition.
Reviews in the Google Play store seem to suggest the crashing is a known issue with Android Auto at the moment. Hoping the product will get a bit more resource thrown at it to make the experience more reliable as time goes on.
