Hi, looking for those who have retro fitted the Road Top Android kit as per the link as I'm considering for my W204:
To get sound, am I correct it plugs into the AUX port in the arm rest? There's no other connections it can run through?
Can you run 2 apps at the same time, say BBC sounds and maps, will the maps mute the sounds like it does on a "normal" android head unit when giving directions?
I take it you Hotspot your phone and connect via USB (for Android Auto) for it to work?
I have the Pure Highway DAB which currently runs through the AUX, so I know I would have to switch that off or have a splitter if possible?
I've had AA before on other cars, I like it, I'm just seeing what, if any advantages it gives me now and what limitations it has. Maps is obviously a huge improvement on the standard, but I don't mind the onboard one, now I've updated lol.
Thanks all as always.
