I think I’m about to buy this 2016.5 CX-5. It has Bose/Nav (although I really wanted plain “premium audio” bc of upgrade possibilities, but that’s mostly beside the point right now). Anyway:
What I really want, as an end result of whatever factory/aftermarket installs:
A. Touchable Google maps on the factory screen
B. Touchable Spotify on same
C. Touchable respond to texts (and then respond with voice) on same
Questions:
1. I assume that the paid factory AA/CP upgrade will enable iPhone interface for the above, right?
2. If my Samsung is connected via Android Auto (= can’t touch screen if car is driving), can I still play with maps/spotify/text touching my phone?
3. I am also assuming that installing an aftermarket head unit (with AA,and maybe better audio) will mess things up in all kinds of ways, especially because of Bose, right?
Or should I really get an iPhone so I can do most of the stuff from the nav screen while driving? In the alternative, how much of a pain is it to do all this via the knob/mouse/controller?
Note: I have spent hours reading all the infotainment/AA/CP threads. I want to make sure my info is updated before I drop down $22k in a couple of days.
