Hi folks,

Initially, I connected my MP01 with a low quality USB-C cord to my Crosstrek. My Crosstrek said "Error recognizing Smartphone" and only did a bluetooth connection

So, I then bought a high quality (I think) USB C data transfer cord off of amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSYP6YJ6 and go to Android Auto in the phone settings but it doesn't recognize that I am connected to a car. It charges, but I get no other recognition from either the phone or the car when I plug it in.

For reference, I have already:

Cleared the cache on Android Auto

Turned off bluetooth when connecting

Held down the power button to turn off the infotainment system on the car

Any advice? I am definitely interested in cords that worked for you all and, ideally, if someone has gotten it to work with a Crosstrek or other Subaru. Thanks!

I know this is weird but around the area of my Pocket Audio's power switch, I think it smells like cigarettes or maybe some weird manufacturing smell? Does anyone else have this issue?

For what it's worth, I absolutely love this thing!

Long story short: I've had this phone since the beginning of January and it's the best purchase I've made in years. Yes you have to tinker with it a bit to get it to work the way you want, but I haven't had any serious issues. I don't sit and scroll on my phone anymore, period. I like that things often load kind of slowly. It makes the third party browser I have even less interesting, but lets me keep it so I can look up some store's hours or whatever it is I need to know.

This phone is exactly what a phone should be and two friends of mine switched to MK after they saw mine. Great work, Mudita!
