Default Firmware Update

Is 21.20.28 still the latest version release for 2019 and later BOOM? I have issues with Android Auto dropping out to the point it will not even run, reverting back to the default HD Infotainment.

I really prefer the Google/Android mapping over the stock NaviExtras and was hoping for an update...

Hammz, do you run Android Auto and have you had any issues with it indiscriminately disconnecting only to reconnect when you start the bike?? I went for months with it working fine then suddenly it's giving me problems...cabling looks fine too, sure seems firmware related to me.

I've had the same issue with the Apple side of it twice, both times it was the cable. Once I went to the cable from Apple vs an aftermarket cable the issue went away. Might be worth a shot to rule it out.

I set up & used AA for a bit last year to ensure it worked, then I went back to the 6.5GTS for nav & my USB stick for music, which is what I prefer (not worth hassling with the cord & phone every time I get on the bike).

I run AA in both my vehicles. My '19 Equinox w/stock radio gives me fits connecting at times. Before I connect to it, I need to make sure there are no open apps. I sometimes have to disconnect the cable & reboot the phone before I get a "clean" connection. Very frustrating. My other vehicle is an '04 Silverado with a Sony XAV-AX5000 & it always connects, no problem. Never worry about closing apps or needing to unplug the USB cable between vehicle restarts. I have an LG V20 running Android 8.0 & use the full (paid) version of Poweramp as my music player.
