    I ordered a Motorola MA1 for my fiancee's Mazda. She uses Android Auto every time she drives, so it would be a little more convenient for her to not have to plug in for short trips. I mostly just use it on longer trips, so I'd be plugging in to charge anyway. Her console is also not designed with a great place to put a phone, while the F-150 is very well thought out.

    I don't know if I got a bad one or what, but audio skipped constantly. I reset it and tried it in my truck with my phone and had the same result. It was weird because in both cases, the initial connection was fine, but subsequent connections would cause the skipping issue. Ended up returning it.

    I'm on apple because of work hand-me-down phones, might as well use 'em.

    I think this is the one I have. https://********************/

    Won't lie and say it's been 100% flawless, it's disconnected a time or two, there are some times (roughly 5% of the time?) I start the truck and it doesn't boot up so I have to reconnect it to get it going. But, I'm similar to your wife, phone in pocket - go. I have push button so I go in/out and drive without having to get stuff out of my pockets :)

    It’s because it’s a vendor that’s had a bad history on this site

    Yeah broken links to shady suppliers. Woops. Weird i didn't know they had a history here. I didn't think they were popular enough for that ....

    Went for a bike ride :) the east bay south of Providence didn't get it like the rest of CT RI.

    It's a 2018 so no t anymore but pay off me wants to take them to court if need be. They stuck a new wall on top of the old wall so if it was still leaking I couldn't see until it got passed. I'm probably going to be stuck doing down both walls and fixing myself however I see fit.
