Hi,
I have a 2018 (KF) CX-5 that I'd like to get working with Android Auto but never used it before in any car and was hoping to ask some newbie questions:-
1. I understand I have to purchase an updated USB hub with the phone symbol on it use AA. I have the firmware on the latest 74.00.324 (thanks Candurin) but I can't see any menu option for Android Auto - not even greyed out - simply not there. Is that normal until I upgrade the USB hub? (Just wanted to check before buying the hub.)
2. My main reason for wanting AA is to use Google maps (my Mazda Nav is way out of date) but I listen to music mainly off a USB stick or car DAB radio. Will this work, music off the USB stick or DAB with the nav on Google Maps via AA?
3. Does the Google maps guidance still interrupt USB music to give directions?
4. Is it easy to flip between music and AA maps? Currently you just need to press the music or Nav buttons in the centre console.
Many thanks in advance, I have tried searching for answers didn't seem to find them!
