Re: Apple Carplay or Android Auto?

The Google maps bit is only enables if I plug the phone directly in to one of the cars USB ports.

You can then use the cars controls to as you would if you didn't have the phone plugged in.

I don't plug it in as the car has built in satnav and I have 2 127GB sticks with music on in both USB slots.

I do remember that you can exit/enter the "take over" google interface on my system by pressing a icon on the touchscreen.

If I remember I'll use it tomorrow, but at 6:40am my brain is on autopilot.

The good thing with google part is I can press the speak button and simply say Go home etc and it will launch the satnav and route.
This sounds quite neat. I have an iPhone which complicates things. I am wondering if I can plug in an old Android phone I have (Moto G) for the Android Auto but still pair my iPhone via BT for the phone calls.

Getting complicated ..
