When I use AA and it puts up the Android Auto screen I can simply hit the recents button and then choose an already running app that AA doesn't use (IOW you can choose Maps or something like that). Then use the back button until you get to the home screen or simply select your already running...

Bull. Basic messaging including replying to a message, especially when doing so by voice. Hell in a Tesla you can watch YouTube videos on the 17" display. Take your misplaced anger and go after them. People eat in their car, put on makeup in their car, even have sex in their car right now. It's...

2017 is a long time... Especially if it's December!

Did you try rebooting your phone? I had to do that a few times in the past. Well maybe there was another workaround less drastic but I tried a lot of things like you then finally rebooted the phone.

Mine is the factory installed Chevy MyLink system upgraded to be compatible with AA. I have a Galaxy S7

I think this causes a lot of other, seemingly unrelated problems in AA. As you can see I have multiple cars listed as connected. I have but one car. Usually I rename the connection from Chevolet MyLink -> Blue Thunder, a nick name my car picked up. But new ones keep appearing! First of it's...

It follows that if most of the time I don't use this feature that some of the time I do. The times I do it works like a champ. Clear now?

Man you need to get over yourself! Especially if you think I was name calling or insulting you personally. I didn't. Anybody who wasn't so irrationally sensitive would have realized mostly when I said "you" I didn't mean you specifically but the general you or you as in they employed individual...

Just because other cars also do dumb **** does not mean you need follow their precedent! As I pointed out, other cars, like Tesla, don't limit you in this way. Google's "safety" is like MS's error code 1603 when installing an .msi package - It's a catchall error message. Ya know if you really...

Well then *THAT* is stupid. The default factory system does not limit you. Hell Tesla even allows you to watch youtube videos on a 17" display! You can scan the old fashioned radio stations, etc. Are you sure that Google believes this or is this what you think is the reason (cause it sure seems...

Well that's just plain stupid!

Are you sure you were using Google's Messenger? Because it's Facebook's also called Messenger? I really don't like the direction that Google it taking with their messaging platform. It's all over the map! Allo sucks and nobody I know uses it. Same with Duo. And I like using Hangouts on my Mac...

What version do you have installed? And how are you testing?

Well this is a welcome addition - https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/15/facebook-messenger-now-works-in-android-auto/

And based on that you thought it was real? Remarkable...
