    and he actually replaced it with some Samsung just to get the app going.

    So he was really excited about it. Did he use it after the initial thrill?

    I'd have to ask him. Probably not very often. Having a smartphone is still a new thing for him. At least he still behaves that way. After 4+ years.

      if dealers aren't aware of this

      Perhaps 'dealer' singular rather than plural? Or even maybe there is no way, on an older car, to do anything about it? Googling suggests that it is possible to do a factory reset on at least some cars which support pairing. Seems like something more reputable dealers would probably do.

      We're talking about 2022 vs 2023.

      ...if you ask them the right salesguy who happens to know anything at all about the products he's selling.

        I know reputable dealers look over used cars and even make some repairs. So process of doing that would be to do a reset.

          That's the point: by connecting the phone to the car I can answer via the steering wheel button or hitting the big green circle on the centre display. No more distraction than changing the radio station. Actually less distraction because I can never find a decent station so end up trying to work out where the 'off' button is.

          cheers Chris Maunder

          Some drives are too long for no tunes, too bereft of radio signal for AM/FM, and don't have XM. Without pairing to stream something besides road noise, I'd be asleep in a cactus beside a flipped rental.
