Thanks, this JPG showing the features and the "release notes" is really good to see. I will be bugging my Canadian dealer soon to have it installed as a part of my one-year service.

It does not work reliably with Android Auto on the OP6 and Mazda connect. I have had to resort to using my Jabra FreeWay as the handsfree speaker. There are many people complaining about Android Auto on various head units connected via BlueTooth.

After a lot of head scratching and trying to understand why I have issues with connecting my Android Auto on my phone to my Mazda Connect over Bluetooth, I found that it has not been tested and could be incompatible as the OnePlus 6T is running a later Bluetooth stack with newer Bluetooth...

WhatsApp is accessed via Android Auto on the phone. The phone is connected to the car via bluetooth.

No, there's a huge thread on this issue on Google forums. My phone works perfectly with any other bluetooth device but not with the Mazda bluetooth. There's a lot of people reporting the issues across various head units and builtin bluetooth systems.

Can we start a new pinned thread that keeps track of phones that work with Mazda Android Auto? I'm asking as I have not been able to use Android Auto on my One Plus 6 with WhatsApp. There's an interaction in which the microphone comes on too early to hear itself say "change it" and then...

Here you go, Madge strutting her stuff. I really do like the way the hood lifts by itself now as well as the increased opening space. It's also just aesthetically pleasing. I did manage to very easily knock the OEM rod out of the way as I was installing the struts. Thankfully I had one strut...

Yes. I need to resize and upload. I only did the final picture as the installation pic on eBay was pretty well spot on.

Gave Madge a wash last night. Installed the gas strut hood lifts this evening.

Installed it this evening. The instructions from the vendor are in the form of a JPEG on the Ebay listing. It wasn't that difficult to figure out and I am more than pleased with them overall.
