Car nav uses car gps; phone nav (aa/cp) uses phone gps. No gps signals are going across the usb cables.
Yeah...but let's be honest: Mazdas voice activation sucks. Because no...I can't do the exact same and do you know why? Mazda would never find "Playhouse Square". I would have to know the address of Playhouse Square.You can do the same without AA by hitting the talk button but it takes more than one command.

As a person who likes cars for driving and not so much for being an entertainment system, what makes AA so great that people are willing to plunk down so much money to get AA?
Just got the email from Mazda that 2014 and on can get Android Auto for $199. Is it worth it.

I received the same email ... over two months after I completed the installation on my own.Just got an email from Mazda corporate offering dealer install of AA/ACP for $199 + labor.
I guess they're ready to really push it now.
