Suggestion to Michelle & David

Increasingly new vehicles are coming out with Android auto and Apple CarPlay option for the head units.

Unless the app developer has made their app compatible with the above then the OEM screen is useless.

Consequently, there are many after-market head units to replace OEM units that are Android or Apple compatible and so apps can be downloaded for whatever purpose. We replaced the head unit in our 200 series for that very reason.

We had a GPS receiver malfunction in our head unit this winter on a trip and we needed Exploroz traveler to be working as that is our navigation program.

So, I had the smart idea of using my phone/tablet to broadcast Android auto and thought that would work.

Well, of all the apps on our Android devices the only functioning was Maps me. So, in my opinion Android auto for the purposes that most of us might use off grid/ out of mobile signal is useless.

I contacted David why it wasn't working and he informed me that to rejig (or a major makeover?) to make the Traveller app Android auto compatible was a major task and unlikely to happen.

I'm hoping that at some stage in the near future David might be considering getting Android Auto up and running?

Its crazy spending upwards of $140 - to $200 k on a new vehicle and have to replace the head navigation unit!

Hope your reading this David :)
