I am an early adopter of software, so I am used to bugs and quirky operation.
The BRP software is okay, but could be improved. What I would like to see:
I can stream (Bluetooth) Pandora, Slacker, Amazon music just fine. Once I connect to the USB it defaults to BRP connect and disables Bluetooth from the phone. I just want to charge the phone, yet use Bluetooth to continue to stream music.
We need more app access. The aforementioned music apps, and possibly Google Maps and Waze. I have kids on our data plan, so I am paying for plenty of data to support these apps.
Saturday, REVER signed me out on ride (?!), and BRP Connect just locked up and I couldn’t select any of the apps. In a group ride, you can’t just stop to fiddle with your phone connection. I had one staticky FM station I could listen to, and it wasn’t a music station.
The best option would be to switch to Car Play. I haven’t used the Android system, but Apply Car Play in our Hyundai integrates wonderfully with the phone, and the apps would work even better with the joystick in most cases.
Just my thoughts.
