New Kamiq owner here having fun investigating all my new buttons etc. I have an Android phone successfully connected by cable to my Bolero system.  As expected it won't connect any other way.

 

Now, while the infotainment system will play music from my phone, and show me Google maps which I can operate using my voice it seems that's all it can do. I was hoping for a bit more functionality. Is there anything else that should be available? I can't even use voice control on my phone to dial contacts which I could do with my 10 year old Ford Focus.  

Bolero is the version fitted to SE spec, others have Amundsen which includes navigation.  I know some things are limited with Bolero.

 

I would check because you have a new car with recent version of Android auto, that you ensure your phone has upto date version.  There have in the past been versions on the phone with compatibility problems, which updating the app solves.

 

Then check you don’t have any of the functions turned off (on infotainment, go into car, settings, and scroll down and enter each option), not unheard of cars to be delivered with weird configurations (my car was supplied with a safety system turned off, forget which, but was either blind spot or front assist off).  Had I not checked whole list of settings wouldn’t have found this.

 

 

Thanks. I'll do all of that. I would like to know though if anyone else has a similar experience to confirm that what I'm seeing is either normal or not.
