Got it in the Škoda.  Used it once or twice, then went back to normal Bluetooth streaming.  It's OK but I found it a bit restricted in what can be done.  Have not used the version supplied with IOS10 yet.

Thank you all for the reply's. It sounds good but things rarely work as they should, I've just updated the Dynavin with the latest software and I'm writing this with steam coming out my ears, I've lost voice control on the phone, when I end a call it doesn't return to the radio/cd/ whatever. Plus lots of other little niggles, this was supposed to be an upgrade. Hence my question to see if it does what it says on the box.

Hope carplay is better than android auto, it's next to useless apart from Google maps or it was until the latest update which buggered that up too  >:(
