When I was at the Toronto bike show they told me honda was working on a software update.
Now all I need is my new 2020 scoot. I'm hopeful dealer will open up soon as the government gave the green light for opening. They will be under very strict guidelines to be followed.

Looks like Android auto is now available for our 2018 and newer wings. Cruisman has done a video showing install. I think I will wait until all the bugs are out of it.
My wife has Android Auto installed in her CRV and has nothing but trouble with it.

I'm still having issues with my Sena 20S EVOs.

I installed Android as standard on my wing. But every now and than I will use my apple Iphone with apple play. Is this possible our do I have to remove my android play first and install Apple carplay?
