Citroën: Bluetooth and Android Auto

Bluetooth

 For some reason the car had problems with the BT connection. I put the phone in pairing mode. But the car would not. I never found the menu entrance, but suddenly the car asked for the pairing code. Then I guess the BT connection worked. At least it did a moment ago.

Android Auto

I had to tweak the settings, and added the "OK Google" option. Worked like a charm. However there were many weird connection issues related to the BT connections, that failed. One workaround was to share the wifi via USB. That really did the trick. Android Auto seemed to work, while there was no BT connection. Apparantly that's a solution when the BT fails.

I really like Android Auto. It's a cool app, and since I never use iPhones the addition of Android devices is highly appreciated. Better late than sorry.

Driving Experience

By now were at around 200 km or so. The car is easy to use. Starting the cruise control was not easy to find. I guess it was a lucky punch when I hit the start button. On the speed limit there is a fine and easy to understand icon.

This morning my car wanted to communicate in French ... I don't know why. I had to change the language settings.
