thhedk Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Brodit Seems like a bad place to put the phone :( Any experience with better solutions? I wish I could modify something, so it could be placed on the side of the touch screen :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thhedk Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Don't know. I guess not, since they made one for the 2018 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsk Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi This may help. I have had one fitted on my car for about four months now and it has held the phone well.Never dropped off. There is an area just left of the screen that is flat enough to stick the holder on. Got it from amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019DCFE6K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

I live in FInland and suffer from same thing. You can install it through apkmirror. Works great, except that voice command lady answers using english or finnish randomly. Also if you change your phone to english the google assistant works also. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, usb has to be connected, using high quality cable. I don't know the exact reason why bt is not enough, i guess bandwidth, reliability, power use of the phone. Using the cable is semi ok, the biggest problem is that there is no good place to put the phone (galaxy s8) Arm rest shelf is too small, in cup holder the cable is in the way, front of the gear stick compartment is oddly shape, but i have made a insert that has slot for the phone it works almost perfect. I have ka+ loaner and it has perfect shelf for phone, even with the cable phone fits. Google just came out with wifi option that works with couple jvc and kenwood headunits.
