    Hi,

    I have a 2015 3 series BMW and was looking at Android Auto.

    Most of the threads here seem to be about problem solving glitches and connectivity issues.

    Just wondering if it is actually worth buying? Are there that many more features of use beyond which you can control via bluetooth and your phone already?


    Thanks in advance

    Any of the Android auto boxes or Android headunits for the F30 look like a compromised solution to be honest. Sound is from the aux port too.

    A better option might be to look at upgrading to the pro nav.
