My Mondeo only has Sync2 - bummer. Just a few months newer and it would have Sync3.

A rubber mat for the boot of my car. Dacia wanted £46, I paid £3.99 in Home Bargains.

I would be happy to use Google maps all the time if it had those features though.

So I've been using the wireless Android Auto dongle for nearly a week and it's fantastic, love not having to drag phone out pocket and plug it in on my commute to work.

Shouldn't be confusing if you understand what Android Auto does.

Your car supports wireless Android Auto if that pops up on car display without plugging phone in.

You now have the ability to chose what Satnav or music streaming apps you wish to use on your cars display and many others, your phone data will be used.

These are apps you first install on your phone.

I was confused why ,what I took to be a new car needed all that fhaff :D Pefer the Yukon sat nav built in. it's also the car I am more likely to use it in 😄 question any idea how much data per hour Google maps uses when in car , no reason for asking , just curious :dunce:

I use Waze(my satnav) and music streaming app in the car for 1hr a day plus another 1hr at work browsing so that's 10hrs a working week and over a course of a month less than 4gb a month.

My app data says119mb for Waze and 1.4gb for Tidal my musc app for the last month.

Your car may have a satnav built in but if it's like my built in satnav I don't use it won't give you live traffi reporting upto date speed cameras, pot holes and always have the current map for free.

If it does all that for free then you may as well use that.

Two 20Kg bags of ready mixed mortar. A garden wall between me and the neighbour needs rebuilding as it's crumbling away at the moment: 100+ year old lime mortar with no integrity.

Don't you just hate a dishonest wall. :D I don't know how they can just stand there looking all innocent and then force someone else to have to pick up the pieces.

Sorry couldn't resist. Long time since I heard the word integrity used in this way. John used to work with a builder who specialised in work on listed buildings and it was one of his most used words. :) Always made me smile especially as he was a very "ecky thump" type of talker.

Thanks Jay. :D

I've not seen that video before. Although he did scrub up well and still wore his flat cap even when he donned a nice suit. A proper Gent and much missed.

Set of three wiper blades to OEM spec for the Colt. Two front ones are already on the way out so replacing them all is probably best.
