SmartLink/Android Auto problem

Featured Replies

I've been noticing for a while now that the buttons on the right-hand side of the touchscreen on my Bolero* are not behaving themselves when I'm using Google Maps via SmartLink with AndroidAuto.  Basically, it seems that the app is treating the part of the screen that they are on as being covered by the green navigation sub-window immediately to the left, as here:

 

If I switch the "Driver seat location" setting in AndroidAuto to the left then the buttons work fine:

 

 

At first I thought it might be a touchscreen fault, but when I tried a couple of different apps (Poweramp and Waze) that have buttons in the same place on the screen, they worked fine.  Here's Poweramp:

 

 

As far as I can see, all other functions on the Bolero that use the touchscreen also work fine.  So that does seem to rule out a touchscreen fault.

 

In case it might have been a problem with my phone, I tried another phone with the latest version of AndroidAuto installed, and the problem with Google Maps problem was still present.

 

So, having ruled out the touchscreen and the phone, that seems to leave SmartLink, AndroidAuto or Google Maps as being the source of the problem.  AndroidAuto and Google Maps I can complain to Google about, but what about SmartLink?  I did notice that there is a reset function in the Settings app accessed via the Menu button on the Bolero, and SmartLink is one of the things that can be reset.  I'm just a little wary of doing that in case it ends up breaking more then just Google Maps...

 

Has anyone else encountered anything like this, or have any other idea as to how it could be fixed?

(I assume that updating the Bolero software would require an SD card with the update on it, or something like that.)
