Very good, but not perfect
6 of 16 found this helpful Other than this product I've never used AA/CP before so I can only judge it on its own and against the built-in Mazda Connect system.
For the most part it is fine, works well enough and is easy to use.
BUT, as opposed to Mazda Connect it requires the phone be connected to the car via USB in order to use Apple CarPlay. I believe that is also the car with Android Auto but I haven't tried that myself.
I can't fairly complain as I should have done proper research before ordering, and that probably wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me anyway, but I like that with Mazda Connect I can use the phone via Bluetooth and not need to have an ugly USB cable stretched across the cabin.
One of the things I like very much about the product is the more powerful USB port. The newer port is actually capable of charging smartphones.
Nothing else really to say. The product does what it is supposed to do and works fine. Med Center Mazda has the best price I found for it, and showed promptly. I have no real complaints.
