I would love to rate this a 5, but connectivity is an issue. Even in cites, it will drop from time to time. Annoying as hell. When it works, its great. To test if it is a signal from the tower issue, I ran it over the same areas with Bluetooth and Spotify and never lost connectivity. And even worse, the drop areas were not consistant. Up, then down, repeat. Arrrgggghhhh.

Almost every time I use the button on my steering wheel or say "ok, Google" there is no response. The words "How can I help" show up on my vehicle screen, but the color bar doesn't show. Also, if I get anything to record it goes blank and doesn't send the message. Sometimes, it even reads the message back and then goes blank. Very unreliable, and creates a safety hazard because of the multiple attempts needed to process a request.

One star for the good concept. One star for the slick user interface. I would love to rate this higher but it crashes without fail, usually multiple times in a drive. It's also very inconvenient that I can't use Google maps on my phone. I *have* to use the Android Auto app, which is especially irritating because the search function voice command doesn't work. Great idea, terrible execution. Edit: Changing to one star because it has stopped working out of the blue. "USB device is not responing."
