Android Carlink kit

Yesterday I installed the new Carlink kit on my son’s Ford Ranger. Despite never before using an Android device I was able to set the adapter quite quickly. Couple of comments 1.

More than happy to share. The other night got the Android Carlink kit running on a new Land Rover Defender, so that's 2 vehicles in a row that can run ExplorOz on their head units.

I have it running successfully on my new Landcruiser 300 GXL as of yesterday.

Early days but it seems to be operating perfectly normally. I went for a drive to download the maps and data to save idling the car during download.

Trip back it functioned no different to how it does on my phone or laptop, so it's a success for me.
