That's really surprising information.
I see you are from Malaysia. Does BMW Malaysia officially support Android Auto? Or it is achieved through some sort of modification?
Would be great if you could share more details.

come as stock for new bmw such as x1, 118 series (couse i was surveying this and a series and gla). not sure they upgraded the other model as well

Dock

Hi all,
Just a quick question that I have asked bit no one has been able to give me answer, I've seen a couple of YouTube reviews of the Xperia Z and some have said that the dock comes as standard in the box, can anyone confirm this please?

Only in Japanese Docomo branded version.
So the answer is: the dock is not included unless stated otherwise. In some countries/carriers you may receive it as a bundle/pre-order gift ( i heard the French will get it ) but in general it's not included.
AW: Dock
The Dock is in Germany includet too.

Yes, indeed. I pre-ordered mine by Amazon. It comes with the dock and 2 nfc-tags.

I would doubt it, it is possible that it could also charge faster depending on the amperage.

[Q] Where can I find the NFC Lifelog app from Sony ?

Hi,
I am looking for the apk of the Sony NFC Lifelog app unveiled at CES 2014 with the Smartband.
Where can I find it ?
Thank you

I just got the device in the mail, but no sign of the lifelog app in the ply store. Yes, bad Sony, very bad.
http://www.xperiaguide.com/2014/02/28/download-xperia-z2-systemmediaapps-apks-and-odex-files/
That's the link for the apk, found on a Z2 memory dump. If someone will be so kind in modifying it for use on every phone that would be amazing.

Got mine from a seller through amazon today. Also looking for the app packaged into an apk, or even a zip that could be flashed.
I called Sony up to see what they would say and there knew pretty much nothing. about an hour of being on hold mostly while she checked every detail of information i gave her, she told me that the initial release was just going to be for the UK and that i shouldn't even have the device (i'm in USA).
I've tried flashing the lifelog apk from an early Z2 apps pull but with no luck.

Same here. They dropped the ball big time
As far as I can tell, the SmartBand isn't even officially released yet. It's showing as a preorder item on Sony's online store. I'm sure the app will be available when it's officially released.
Sony are hardly in the wrong if you purchased one early from an unofficial source, are they?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Sony aren't even showing a release date and Amazon are showing the 11th of April for release.

This is so disappointing that the app isn't available yet, but it's nice to have the device ready to go. I'm in the states myself so I hope it won't be too much longer before this thing is usable. I've never been so excited about being an early adopter of a product that isn't even technically out yet.
I just noticed on the product page that Android 4.4 is required to use the SmartBand.

That's really strange... the whitepaper available via a link on the page you reference states "to any Android (v4.3 or later)"
Hopefully that isn't the case... I have the Xperia Z1s with T-Mobile and I would be greatly disappointed if their own recently released device doesn't even support it (its running 4.3). What also concerns me is when I try to pair it with NFC it launches Smart Connect and I get the message "Accessory not compatible. Bluetooth Low Energy is required in order to use this accessory." when both the os version (4.3) and the phone specs clearly support BT 4.0LE,
Well, I didn't read the whitepaper. It says Android 4.4 more than once on the product page though.
I guess you'll see when it officially releases and the app is available.

Well there's an updated white sheet that does reflect the 4.4 requirement. I honestly never even looked beyond anything but the BLE requirement.
I have bee in touch with Xperia forum Sony people and staff seems surprised that the product is released Asia but the app is not... It is frustrating to have the band but but being able to use it ... I do confirm JB will not work as it needs the ble and smart connect in order to dl the mgmt app of the band.. However the links to the apps pointing to the store are dead.. Will update as soon as I got a reply from Sony

Why won't JB 4.3 work? 4.3 is when ble was first officially supported by the OS, not 4.4... There are other ble devices that work fine in 4.3.
i just noticed that the lifelog is now up on the play store (found it on my phone only), and also sony posted a article on it
[Can't include link here as i have not posted enough yet] but it is at sony mobile blog for 2014/4/8
However it is stating that it is not compatible with my device (nexus 5). Can anyone pull it and get it working for non xperia devices?

Steering Wheel Control questions

I'd like to buy a steering wheel control adapter for my ford focus 2006 and pumpkin 7' KLD6
I found those two
iDatalink Maestro ADS-MSW
Metra Axxess ASWC-1
Any recommendation ?
tag on question... i assume if you get a universal double din, you need a module like this correct? but if you get a vehicle specific unit from Joying or Pumpkin, you do not need to get a module like these?
ford focus 2006 dont you have steering wheels control on your car ? i have ford focus 2009 and sterring wheels control working well with my android head unit
Yes I have but it needs an adapter to "speak" with the HU unless I'm mistaken

No, the headunit should have an SWC adapter built in, I know my 2 joying headunits do. I was under the same impression when i first got my headunit but found I had wasted money because it was already present in the headunit.

Well that changes everything then. I was thinking of getting a vehicle specific one since I thought it included the adapter.
There are some much cheaper Universal units

I know a different manufacturer that makes one for my 3rd Gen Tundra but it costs about $500 and I paid $289 for the universal one, it's not a factory look but does the same thing.

Right, I was looking at a Seicane model that was like $470, but there is a Pumpkin universal unit with way better specs for like $269.

Are you running stock 7.0, or a custom ROM?
What car? Stock head unit or an aftermarket unit?
In general, the more information you provided on this forum, the more help you will get.

I'd suggest going into AA and telling it to forget your car, aga. Then go into settings/apps and click on the Android Auto app. Clear cache, clear data, and force stop.

So, you've paired Bluetooth and plugged your N6 into the USB port on your 2016 Civic and AA doesn't see your car?
If yes, I'd suggest trying a friend's phone. And another cable. From what I've seen, it can take a couple of iterations to find a USB cable that works. I'm using the USB cable that came with my N6 and it's working fine.
This is not easy to trouble shoot, because you said AA was working fine (with your N6 and your Civic) with the developer preview, right?
