I never understood this problem until I got a new phone.
I had a galaxy s20 for the first year with the truck.
I recently got an s14 and the BT sucks now. Disconnects randomly.
Moral here is it could be the phone.
I've noticed a big drop as well.
Another thing I've noticed is that the regen is much weaker.
When I use it to slow down I can tell it's not as strong.
Occasionally I'll feel it give it in the middle of braking and from then on in the trip it's weak.
I got mine in the mail today. When I get some time I'll put it in. Thanks for this thread and all it's info. Expecting it to take 30 min or so. Probably a day for me a few minutes at a time in This heat
I wouldn't trust any cheap made in China covers. They just do cheap stitching in that side a sew in a airbag tag on one side. They don't care about you or that airbag coming out.
The dongle acts as a cord and you only need to connect to that. Bluetooth to the truck isnt necessary for android auto or apple car play in this situation
Avalanche grey would be the only rare color because of the short run and limited model. Nobody will want a 50k mile hybrid and that's what they will all be soon.
Once the market settles these will be a dime a dozen like used camrys and focus'.
I usually smell it on hot days after it's been ran. I'll remote start it as I'm walking up after leaving a store so I'm sure it's not trying to warm itself up.
