Lately I've been trying to see if I can use anything but my ALAC-loaded iPod with this thing. So far it won't play OGGs at all, crashes when it tries to read the stick. It sort-of plays AAC files, but without any tag info, never finishes scanning the stick, and won't shuffle...also it crashes...

Mazda hasn't been all that forthcoming with changelogs. Lately I'm finding myself wishing it supported FLAC files.

Actually, no I won't. Because I'm not updating it. And my dealer isn't putting that firmware on anyone else either.

Actually, no, because they aren't greyed out. And I'm also not paying $10 a month for my T-Mobile WiFi hotspotting.

Umm, T-Mobile WiFi tethering is free. You better not be paying $10 extra for it.

Actually, I have to admit, Chrysler's uConnect system is the best in the business, bar none. It's unfortunate that it's attached to such terrible cars with terrible chassis and horrible drivetrains. Sometimes it's a matter of priorities.

Mazda caught on to the Android Car setup, for M.Y. 2015. I hope there's a way to upgrade our cars to use it as well.

I basically bought an iPod nano and am using that now. Too much trouble with MP3 USB sticks, you get random hang-ups, takes forever to read and cache the stick, and if you make changes it has to re-cache it, and it can't update the cached version it shows as a (1) instead. The only annoying...

I suppose it'll depend on whether it's a software upgrade or if there's hardware requirements along with it. At this point our USB ports are not the ideal connection for Android phones, because they only slow-charge. If a phone is actively processing, you could actually end up using more power...

Mazda among others anyway. I'm wondering if they'll just update our 2014s to support it, or if they're already planning on abandoning their existing systems. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-Auto-will-be-initially-supported-in-vehicles-from-28-car-brands_id57567

With all the bugs, maybe they should just switch to this: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-Auto-will-be-initially-supported-in-vehicles-from-28-car-brands_id57567

So do I, I would have bought that version. With the 2.5L of course :)

The reserve amount is a little over a gallon near as I can tell. I have a 50 mile commute in each direction, so I fill up when I won't make it, simple. Generally i fill up before the light goes on, though sometimes not much before. Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

I'm not here to get into a pissing match about which number indicates which platform wins, since anyone can choose a number in favor of their particular platform (such as Samsung's current sales being higher...but more activated iOS devices being active, etc, etc, etc). I'm here to make a point...

"Android" doesn't exist in the way you're thinking. Seriously. Samsung, LG, HTC, and the others all use very different, very customized versions of it, and they're all significantly different from vanilla Android. This is coming from an Android user since Froyo FYI (Well, the MotoBLUR version...

It's only natural that QA priority is going to be given to the most common platforms out there. I expect 90% of their QA time was spent with iPhones, and Samsung's Android build. Probably spent a little time with Windows Phone, and even less with other Android variants from LG, HTC, and the...

I'm not having any issues since the most recent update (I'm assuming v29). I'm actually using an iPod Touch for my day-to-day music now, it's very stable, and they fixed the excessive delay it used to have with skipping tracks. Sometimes I'll stream BT as well, for some reason my Pandora app...

What about the standard Tapatalk app?

The brightness automatically adjusts on the HUD display, and the instrument cluster brightness can be adjusted by turning the trip reset button.

Actually you CAN set it to intermittent mode, but it requires going through the infotainment UI and disabling the rain sensing portion. Not really something you can do on-the-fly so to speak. But it can be done.
