(Using latest Joying September firmware update with the included Z-Link APK, and Google Pixel 3 with Android 10 & all updates)
- Android Auto crashes often, typically happens after about 10-20 minutes, then every 5-10 minutes again after
-- On August firmware update / Z-Link APK when this happened the headunit OS would crash & restart
-- On September firmware update / Z-Link APK when this happens just the Z-Link app crashes & restarts; the headunit OS does not restart
- When using the Google Assistant on Android Auto via Z-Link ("OK Google..."), the audio quality of the Google Assistant talking is poor, and distorted with pops and cracks. Like it's using a low bitrate or something. All other audio (ex: Google Play Music audio) over Android Auto does not have this distortion and is excellent quality (aside from the next point below).
- When playing audio from Google Play Music on Android Auto, the volume level of the music is normal. Then after asking Google Assistant to play another song, when the song changes the music volume (only) is much quieter (all other audio is still at normal levels). But the actual headunit volume level is unchanged, just the music is playing too quiet. This becomes a greater issue when you then go to turn the headunit volume up so the music is louder again, but if you have Google Maps navigation on or use the Assistant the Assistant voice is extremely loud (because you had to turn the headunit volume up to hear the music). In one case I found that after making a call the music audio level returned to normal, until the next time the song was changed.
- Android Auto via Z-Link does not support automatic Day/Night mode. Have tried accessing developer settings on the Android Auto phone app: "Car-controlled" and "Phone-controlled" do not have any effect, only specifically setting "Day" or "Night" works as a workaround.
