Dear All, 

Am a happy new Citigo owner, but frustrated with a Garmin/Phone issue. I’ve managed to connect my iphone12 to the originally supplied Garmin Move&Fun, no problem. Phone calls can be made and received via the in-car system ✔️

However, despite doing my best to internet search for a solution, I’m unable to turn on the Live function, so that I get traffic updates, traffic jams whilst in the Navigation function of the Garmin. My Personal Hotspot shows as being connected, yet when using the navigation, the Live is set to RED, meaning no live updates, as I understand it. 
Can anyone provide a solution please? It’s rather frustrating as I’d rather not use Google Maps or Waze given I have the Garmin, but perhaps I should forget about the Garmin and just buy a phone holder and use the phone sat nag apps.  
I’m yet to check to see if the Garmin is not plugged in, will my phone still be automatically connected to the car system via Bluetooth… hmm

 

Any help and advice re connectivity will be gratefully received! 
Thanks in advance and best wishes to All 🙋🏼‍♂️

ps I’ve tried to upload a photo of my Garmin screen but for some reason it shows Upload Failed 🤔 On it, the LIve function shows as RED as does the TMC function. 

Also to add, I wonder if there is a clever way to use the Garming as my Navigation Screen, and somehow mirror my Google Maps or Waze from my phone?  I think this is called Car Play but I guess this car and Garmin are too old to do such a thing.. 🤔

Thanks AF Falco. I think I have to put the Garmin in the bin…so it’s now a question of finding a phone holder, which will fit or be compatible with the Citigo dashboard..
