    What Owners Say

    Android Auto

    "I used the Android Auto feature to connect my phone via USB to the center display screen. I relied on this feature and it worked well for about 6 years. After that I could no longer connect my phone via USB. It just stopped working one day. I had the dealer test/replace the unit for about $900. I believe this repair should not have been needed as there was no physical damage to the unit. It also seemed very expensive. -"
