I have the Kenwood eXcelon DMX706S and it can be used with Android Auto when and only when wired to my phone (no wireless AA on this unit). I use it all day long as I am a delivery driver. Here are the issues and the questions. I have a Garmin stand alone GPS (Connects to satellites every time even on cloudy days but does not find all roads or addresses about 20% of the time - annoying) The I use my LG G5 mounted on the dash securely and connected to my 706S via USB (Finds every road 99% of the time but take a while to connect to satellites and loses satellites easily) but when it is connected it is PERFECT.
My questions are, if I get something like the Garmin GLO satellite receiver and connect it to my phone via bluetooth and then my phone to my head unit via the usb... will this solve my satellite reception issue? Will it even work this way? I know the phone connects to the head unit via blutooth so I can use Google Assistant while driving... which I do as well and LG says up to two devices can be connected to the phone at the same time via bluetooth. Any thoughts or experience?
