Well, I waited for this Phone Link to come out and was disappointed in a couple of days. It felt klugey and the hot button issue for me was having to rest my bluetooth settings in my car *everytime* I used the link with my desktop. And since I use bluetooth to connect my phone to my car this is a dealbreaker.

I think the security loophole is the idiot who leaves their phone unlocked and unattended so someone can take the phone back to a computer and setup phone link. I know on android you can easily go into phone link and see all the pcs that is linked to. I never had it interfere with any other Bluetooth connections or android auto.

Well, it definitely interfered with the BT connection between my iPhone and the car. 4 times in a row. Shut the link program off and the trouble disappeared. That's the extent of my problems with this app and it is a dealbreaker.
