Hi

So I finally did the upgrade through the dealer. Couldn't be happier. Firstly v70 fixes a few things (such as BT album art) and is snappier. But wow Android Auto, love it. I noticed a few things and wanted to share them to see if any solution would exist that I missed while researching this board.

  1. Plugging the phone too early won't work (or leaving plugged and turning off/on the car)
  2. Cannot change AA spoken language (Takes OS lang to read SMS, driving directions, etc.)
  3. Infotainment settings, unchecking AA permanently disables AA (had to factory reset)
  4. No auto-zoom in Maps when on highway (didn't fully test though)
  5. AA won't auto-open over Mazda Infotainment unless it was opened before last shutting down the infotainment/car.

That's pretty much it. I am very happy with the upgrade. Assistant integration is superb and everything is fast.
