Thread: Android Auto

The TomTom NDS app has always had SmartDeviceLink via Bluetooth to a comparable SmartDeviceLink Car radio.
Android 7 or higher is required for it to work.
It first came for Toyota Cars in South America.

I buy it from Aliexpress that was the cheapest way. Main reason was the BMW carnav soft is terrible. Ik bought the lastest map update 2021-1, but it has errors. One way streets in cities are not known, it directs you always to closed streets. Now I can choose between the BMW or Andream and Tomtom NDS on display. iDrive and buttons on the steering wheel are still working.
