I've gone and bought a JVC head unit for my other car an MX-5. It functions should be Android auto Carplay etc.
It works beautifully with Carplay but not AA. Had to hook up my wifes iPhone to test it but I own a virtually new android phone (Motorola MotoG7 power) but that just won't work with the head unit, perfect with Bluetooth for music just can't get any apps up and running.
Now the big problem it seems after reading up is the latest updates Google have made to AA, some have said it's stopped working in the cars from around December last year. Changing USB leads may solve it, well I've tried 2 and still no go.
So anyone with any suggestions apart from buy an iPhone? 🙄 I'd go that route but as said I've got a decent phone which should easily run AA wondering if anyone had tried a fix and it works with a similar set up?
