  • 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



  • 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.















  • 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.
