Apple CarPlay + Android Auto for Scout Nav / infotainment says Scout rep

[NukeDukem]

I use Android Auto on my Bronco, and it connects when I'm driving my son's Escape as well. In this era, it's an expected feature. I love those Google maps in living color on the screen. So much nicer than a suction-cup Garmin.

However, I also subscribe to the Ford Bronco Navigation App. It's a drawn map, not a satellite photo, but it's good backup for $60/year, because The google/Android app does cut out in remote areas, but the built-in Ford Navigation App has never failed.

Lol, I remember those Garmin days too.

The derision of people asking for CP/AA on the Rivian Forum approaches fanboi proportions. No reason that Rivian can’t offer their own infotainment system alongside of CP/AA, and let the users choose what they’d rather use. But no, anyone that asks for CP/AA is considered addled, or told to that maybe they should be driving something else.

Instead, the buzz is over “will Rivian give us ‘Halloween costumes’ this year?” , and disappointment when said “costumes” don’t work or aren’t up to expectations. Talk about a waste of dev resources…

Rivian has pretty obviously been AstroTurfing the issue for a while now. On the reddit forum the upvote/downvote patterns on AA/Carplay threads are wildly inorganic - Huge flood of downvotes for AA/CP supporters that then slowly reverses back up over the next few days.
