Ahh autocorrect 🤦

Go for the pain tier (even though it’s FOSS) 100% worth it.

Never had any issues with the unit. As mentioned I have an old 4x4 with an aftermarket head unit (Sony XAV-AX5000) and have never experienced any audio issues. This car is our family “adventure vehicle” so we use it for long road trips and camping adventures - in short when it gets driven it’s often for a longer multi-hour journey, with music playing the whole way

No stress, glad I pointed you down a hopefully workable path. Good luck mate 😉 And yes the US tax. Purchased mine from Amazon US, I’m down in Australia. Even with the higher cost it has been an absolute joy even with my single-phone use case.

I haven’t tried the multiple phone song and dance on the unit. It lives in my old 4x4 which my wife refuses to drive.

We do have a similar issue with our other car however '05 Subaru Forester (non Android Auto). It randomly connects phones - as in I can be sitting in the car, start up to go somewhere and the car connects to my wife’s phone while she and it are in the house. The only reliable option I’ve found (only practical if we’re both in the car) is to quickly tap Bluetooth off on one phone before starting the car. If your Honda is starting with a Bluetooth connection, then I’m guessing the same solution should work.

Screenshots of the config screen attached. I’m not connected to the unit right now, hence the error message.

• removable cable
• configuration app to deal with difficult Android Auto interfaces
• latest beta firmware includes Android Auto over CarPlay

Get the AAWireless instead 😉

Was a genuine challenge. I ended up purchasing a copy for my whole family so everyone can use it.

Started on lemmy.ml, when they were experiencing some performance issues I decided to “be distributed” away from one of the main instances. Decided on one geographically in my home country.

Great recommendation on AnonAddy. I know what I’ll be seeing up tonight.

Have one. My email address is firsname@firstnamesurname.com. I work in tech so it really seems to generate the right impression on my resume.

I remember the fear any time something was greater than 1MB. My first download on any new computer was always a download manager to try and avoid the constant drop-outs and restarts.

Loving the discussion & history here.

I started my online journey on a bleeding edge (and very expensive) 28.8k modem. I still remember the amazing feeling of speed migrating to 33.6k and eventually 56k. We were semi-rural so while the eventual availability of DSL was game changing, our lines were so bad it was less reliable that dial-up. If it rained we had no internet whatsoever.

So glad things have moved on significantly since then.
