Ap19063, do know know if you still receive RCS messages when connecting directly to the car via bluetooth rather than using Android Auto? I have that issue with another vehicle. The only way to receive or even see RCS messages thru the vehicle was via AA.

Oddly, my wife came home yesterday telling me the radio quits working every time she backs out of the garage and she can't get it to come back except for restarting the car and then only for a minute. I went out to check it out and it worked fine for me. We both have different sign ins for the...

I'll try laying the phone down sideways next time. My phone case isn't too chunky, but does have a SP Connect mount built into it for my motorcycle, so that does add some thickness. It's suposed to work with chargers though? Probabaly the wrong orientation of the phone is the issue I had...

Blingen1, my wifes 2025 Equinox LT came from the factory with the phone charger built into the front of the center console. A tray the phone stands verticle in. At first I thought it wasn't working, but if I removed my phone case, it works just fine. In my Ford, I do not need to remove the...

Thank you for the update Kenway. I don't know about the Equinox, but on my Ford it does notify me when an OTA update is available, although the updates are only Infotainment related. Nothing related to the modules that control the engine or other peripherals.

Hello, Tearza1212. If the RS dash is the same as the LS, it would be to the lower left of the steering wheel. The button next to the "Autohold" button, with an "A" with a circle around it. The bad part is, it will need to be selected each time the car is turned on. The feature has no memory...

Since I didn't get any feedback, I went ahead and wired it like I thought and it appears to work as inteneded. I'll post pic's in the event it'll help someone else out down the line.

Penright, I can only speak for myself, but when I tried it, it was accessing Android Auto from my phone. Google Pixel 8. The Google Maps information displayed in both screens were the same, just seemed like the sizing or formatting was off in the instrument cluster slightly, which cut off text...

Kenway, it's the same in our 2025. I tried some changes in the AA app with no effect. It's even worse with Waze. The map completely disappears in the instrument cluster, leaving only the directions. Both maps and directions are still viewable in the center console, so it's not all lost. Still...

I'm looking to install a Battery Tender cord on my wifes 2025 Equinox LT. I have done this to all my powersports equipment (motorcycles and snowmobiles) and vehicles to keep the batteries topped off when we leave them parked for any amount of time. I do know to make sure the negative side of...

Hi, folks. New member. We just bought my wife a 2025 AWD Equinox LT to replace her previous Jeep. She was unsure about what she wanted, but eventually she narrowed it down to Chevy Equinox, Hyundai Santa Cruz or Hyundai Tuscon. After looking over those 3 finalist and test driving she settled on...

Hi, ap19063. Not sure if this will help, but might be worth a shot. I had a similiar issue with bluetooth constantly disconnecting and reconnecting about every 5 seconds. Not with an Equinox, but with a Harley Boom Audio motorcycle headset. It was recommended I go into my phones "developer...
