Sweet! I just saw that it’s a Power Draw for the week! Best of luck! I think you’ll really like it!

I’ve been running into a few issues lately, but I think it’s because my iPhone is busted and needs a battery replacement. :confused:

Thanks @Blotch and @zjjjjj! Hopefully it’ll make its way to UK soon! It’s a fun and handy little device. :smiley:

do you really have to launch the app on the phone every time you get in the car before it pairs, seems very cumbersome and annoying

Nope! I’ve been using it without launching the app lately and it works just fine. They also recently updated the firmware to make the hands-free calling truly hands-free. I used that feature this morning and it worked perfectly. I did finally caved yesterday and I updated the iOS on my iPhone. After doing so, it seems to connect better to the VIVA and display the titles of the songs and artists without launching the VIVA app. So, major win in my book!

Good for you that battery replacements are cheaper until the end of the year. I mean $29 is a fair price I think

I had a short stretch where it was doing that. But it was because my iPhone was acting up, so nothing really out of the norm for me. I did not that it was having trouble connecting to Alexa at one point this weekend. I just unplugged it awhile and the plugged it back in later on. The main issue I’m running into has to deal with my car. It keeps power going to the jack for what seems like hours after I shut off the car. I’ll be near the garage with my phone in my pocket and I’ll randomly hear, “Welcome back. Launch the Roav VIVA app to get started and pay attention to the road.” …? I parked the car like 2 hours ago and you’re still on? lol. So I’ve been unplugging it when I turn off the car.
