2019 Jimny SZ5 Google maps running slow on infotainment unit

Hi.

My SZ5 has an infotainment unit supplied by Suzuki in the SZ5 spec.

I have attached Google Maps from my Android phone. It works but but I am having problems with loadingthe speech files.

The Googal Assistant takes between 10 and 60 minutes to load.

This means that if Iwant to avoid waisting 20 minutes waiting before I can enter the destination, I have to used the manual key pressing route method to find a destination.

I pull off the motoway an hour later to check that the Google assistant has woken up.

Has anybody tried to attach Google Maps to the Suzuki (Bosch) infotainment via Android Auto and had the same problem?

The Android Auto works fine when it id not attache to the infotainment unit.

Weird, no mine works fine - what phone and Android version? I use a OnePlus 6T running Android 9 and Google assistant kicks in within a second or two of pulling the voice button on the steering wheel.

Hi Gaget, thanks for you prompt reply.

Google Assistant takes 10 minutes to an hour to load on infotainment Google maps when started from cold. NB. Google Assistant and Andoid Auto work fine on my phone when not attached to the infotainment.

Slow Android Auto connection when started from cold.

Occasionaly thinks it should connect via MirrorLlink instead of Andiroid Auto when only Android Auto is set up on the infotainment unit. Unplug usb at car end and plug back in after 5 seconds to reset to Adroid Auto.

Can you disable mirror link on the phone and see if that helps? Also try a new usb cable, dodgy ones can cause odd errors.

Hi Gadget.
Is MirrorLink an app ? If so MirrorLink is not on my phone.

Tried multiple USB cables - changing them does not appear to make a difference.

I am on Android 7 you are on 9 The upgrade to 9 is not yet available for my Samsung Galaxy A3 phone.

My internal storage free space = 00.98 GB
My SD card free space = 44.05 GB
How much free space do you have on internal storage ?

I have a sneaky suspician that insufficient storage may be part of the problem.

Do you know if the connection or google maps on uses storage on the infotainment unit itself or on the phone internal storage or SD card?

Have you tried waze? Far superior to Google maps in every way.

No I havn't.
