That's great you got it working. And yes, Android Auto is very particular with which cables it works with. The higher the quality, the better.

Yes and no. My google account is linked to my Office 365 hosted Exchange service with my own domain for my email (not a Gmail address) . That's my Google login. I actually can't use the google assistant to add entries to my calendar because it will just add it to a calendar that I don't use...

Android Auto works really well when I ask it to navigate to a place that it can lookup on the internet (i.e. "take me to Best Buy in Langley); but it doesn't seem to be able to navigate to an address in my contacts list (i.e. "take me to John Smith's house"). The workaround is either to: 1)...

AA volume and audio volume are separate on my JVC deck. When AA voice is talking, the volume control changes AA volume. When AA isn't, the volume control adjusts audio. I would just leave AA volume at 1 and car audio at 15. I feel your pain though. My volume is fine for AA, but it's screaming...

Re: Which microphone + assistant has difficulty responding in text mails Do you mean WiFi? My understanding is that AA currently runs hybrid over USB and Bluetooth. Music and phone calls user Bluetooth, and all projections including navigation use USB. That was my understanding anyway. And...

For me it's the map card that disappeared. I don't really care, but it seems weird.

All of the sudden Spotify won't play music on my JVC KWV830BT head unit via Android Auto. Everything else works (Google Maps, OK Google, WhatsApp, SMS). Spotify launches and appears to be playing music, but no sounds is produced through my vehicle's sound system. The radio just keeps play. I can...

It might be the cable. AA is really finicky with cables it will work properly with.

Really? I thought it would use the car mic. I haven't looked into this, but that would seem like the logical way.

Re: Android Auto Freezing on BlackBerry KeyONE SOLVED! The Monoprice cable mentioned above seemed to have solved my problem! Albeit I haven't used it for more than 30 minutes uninterrupted, but I've had zero problems with it in 3 days. It's a solid looking cable with quality connectors. It's...

Re: Android Auto Freezing on BlackBerry KeyONE Update I received the new 6" cable I mentioned above, but the problem is that it is microUSB, not USB type C which I need! Doh! I've since ordered this one and am waiting for it to arrive. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything shorter, but this...

You'd think AA was still in beta; it definitely doesn't look like something that's been out for almost 3 years! Google really cropped the bed on this one.

Isn't AA designed to work concurrently over USB and Bluetooth?

Not if the music is stored on your device. If your using a streaming service to play music, then yes.

I purchased a JVC KWV830BT and had it installed in my 2011 Chevy Tahoe yesterday. I left the install place and everything was great until I plugged my BlackBerry KeyONE into it; it started on a constant loop of rebooting. I took it back to the installer and they updated the firmware on the JVC...
