Immediately hit some snags with the phone (Android Moto G5). I expect that some software update will eventually arrive to fix these problems.
Since none of these glitches are show-stoppers, I'm going to wait a few weeks and then bug the dealer about software updates.
- First did Bluetooth pairing. That was smooth.
- But later I found that I had to select checkboxes for both phone and audio each time I got into the car and then Save settings. Even then I could not use phone for a call until I turned off Bluetooth on my phone, then turned back on. After a few iterations of this the phone now seems to pair whenever I get into the car - just as it should.
- Next I used USB cable to connect. Android Auto started automatically - nice!
- I tried to use Navigation. Since I've never used Android Auto before, I did not know how it should appear. But when I navigated to a nearby location it became obvious that Honda Nav was in use - the map was ugly and the directions not really correct.
- I unplugged phone and went into store. When I returned I did not plug phone in and the car pestered me about not finding an active USB connection. A day later that problem has stopped.
- Now every time I get into the car, it tells me that I am in an ongoing phone conversation, so it can't use audio! So I have to select Phone menu and Hangup.
