First post! Just wanted to share and ask a question, if I could. I bought my Rebel about 2 months ago (12" screen), no real issues thus far. I agree completely, the NAVI is absolute garbage. Can not search online with the search function. Hate it. And yes, the NAVI routing is ridiculous. But honestly, we are comparing it to Google Maps, which is not a fair comparison. Google is updated all the time and uses a lot of user feedback.
The question I had was in regards to UConnect: what are we talking about here exactly? I essentially use Sirius XM for my radio and when I need to use navigtion, I use Android Auto. I literally use nothing else. I wonder what I am missing out on.....?
Last question: can Android Auto not fill up the entire screen? When I use Google Maps, it only occupies the top half of the 12" screen. I don't get it, why not mirror what my phone shows?
Otherwise, loving the RAM so far
