Ond_ejKoubek shouldn’t be a “niche” feature in this day in age, heaps of people use smartphone mirroring in their vehicles, it should be a minimum requirement that it works properly.
pavlus I agree, as there’s so many different infotainment systems out there it would be hard to test compatibility with all of them. Saying that though, if Google, Samsung etc. have it working on the same system that these devices work on why can’t Nothing? As lgio002 said it’s a standard. If they can’t work it out they should reach out to Google for further assistance with Android Auto. But yeah, fingers crossed Nothing do come around and get it sorted with a workaround/software update fix.
I got this response from Nothing support via email yesterday:
"Dear xxxxx,

My car has a service book next Tuesday, I will ask them to upgrade the system to the latest software version and then test but I don’t believe it will change anything, but once tested I will be responding back to Nothing with my findings. I can update here also.
