3 ★ Should be able to "Random", "Shuffle"- randomly play shuffled music that is stored on your device with no issues including loosing connectivity to BT. Thank you.

1 ★ Turns on the radio every time it starts. Map is clunky and out of date. Speed limit feature is flat out wrong on all of the roads I tested it on. G-force feature is useless (it only shows on axis). Fuel consumption feature is less useful than the in-dash display. It is all around a bad app. The only possible use would be to control the radio if you are using the stock phone cradle which blocks easy access to the radio buttons. Update for the version released on September 13, 2016 All of the old complaints are still valid and now there is a new one: random crashes. Still almost no reason to use this app and given that Google Auto now works on phones without a head unit, I just don't see a need for it.

4 ★ The radio and telephone works adequately enough, as does the local music function. Using the smartphone touchscreen is more convenient than programming the radio pushbuttons. The speed and fuel economy functions are too elementary and would be served better with a numerical readout, the desert/urban/forest graphics are too broad, I'd rather see a graph. These two functions are redundant, since the dash has the same readouts in different form. Not being able to change Nav settings while moving is inconvenient but I understand the safety reason.

3 ★ OK, this is a work in progress... I hope. A few things work well, the radio controls and telephone controls, but everything else needs a lot of work and there are things that should be part of this app that aren't. 1. Allow users to integrate their favorite apps into cross connect. Most car apps will allow you to call up apps from their app. For example, the navigation in cross connect isn't very good so let me link to Google Maps or Waze from cross connect so I have to tap fewer times. 2. It would be great if the "OK Google" voice command worked while my phone was connected to my car. Now I can say "OK Google" and it pops up on my screen but it doesn't pick up anything else I say and so it is rendered useless. Having this work would allow me to make calls and enter a place to navigate to via voice command. 3. The app needs better integration with the rest of the audio system. I would rather keep my music on a USB drive in the second USB port and save space on my phone. This currently doesn't work with the cross connect app. Make these changes and fix the navigation in cross connect and I will love it!

4 ★ Usb needs to be accessible through app

1 ★ Keeps crashing every time I try to use it. When it does work it's hard to see. The Radio part is useless you would think you could control the mid-range you can't. And the radio just sounds bad.

2 ★ It continually is crashing. Unable to connect at all now. Frustrating and extremely disappointing.

5 ★ Just plain fantastic. Intuitive yet powerful UI. Go MB!
