I know, but even using Google Maps, I won't even need my phone, since I can download the regional Maps. I'm thinking it may not even be worth it. I just wish the PX6 software music player had a good DSP built in with full equalizer.
Wait, I'm not sure how that $40 Android Auto add-on works then. Is it a module they build into the back? Does it allow you to operate without needing your phone as a hot spot? Wouldn't you need an extra data subscription through the phone company to do that then?
Do you have a wireless android auto adapter you use?
But doesn't the basic PX6 unit have BlueTooth connectivity to your phone to begin with? Can't I run Google Maps, surf the internet, etc. Isn't it already using phone data in that case? I'm confused....
Bluetooth just connects the two devices to play audio, it doesnt provide data. The PX6 is basically an Android Tablet. It still needs a data connection to use any apps like google maps, web browser etc.
No, I know they exist. I think AA is sort of redundant to the px6. I use tasker to auto start/kill mobile hotspot
I think mobile hotspot is now free on most carriers, it wasn't on the past. Most phones will also share data via Bluetooth, plugged in via USB or on a qi charger.
But in the prior posts you've mentioned you like the sync retention. You're going to want your phone to bluetooth connect to sync not to the px6. You can double connect or split media/phone to two different receivers depending on the phone.
Yes, I want to retain Sync. However, since my phone is connected via bluetooth, won't it allow me to run Google Maps in the PX6 using my phone then as a hotspot for data without needing Android Auto?
I don't run AA, tried it, the px6 unit offers everything AA does but bigger and better
We'll, I just took the plunge. When it gets here, I'll plug it all in, and we'll see what happens.
