Is this a better option than everything else? I have the basic business radio and although I can make phone calls via bluetooth, it would be good to do other things.

Ordered yesterday, arrived this morning, great piece of tech ! I’d previously installed an echo dot but connectivity via personal hotspot on the iPhone proved problematic. Today I’ve enjoyed asking for music from Spotify, adding things to a shopping list and even turning on my hot water via Hive, very pleased :thumbsup:

I hope I don’t do anything in the car that I’d worry about anyone else listening to - and balanced against the extra functionality the box gives me I’d take the box.
Completely get that it’s individual choice though.
Well if someone does something stupid on the road and you shout 'W**ker', at them, I'd make sure your better half can't then get access to your browser. :poke: :rofl:

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:
