What My Link Apps Do You Use?

[CarrollComputing]

What My Link apps do you use? personally i havent messed with the apps yet I just play my music through USB but I am curious as to what people are doing with their My Links. So if you have an app youd like to share please do so!

BringGo.

Getting it and getting it to work sent me around the mountain more times than I care to remember, but now that it is working I am quite happy.

With all the radio apps now I really dont see why anyone would pay for the XM subscription if they have an android or iphone. I just started using the pandora app yesterday and find its miles better than anything on XM

Yeah the market wont let me download it because i have a custom rom and it is "incompatible with my version of android" im going to have to edit the build.prop lol

I really wish one of the dealerships near me would have a technician that is comfortable upgrading the firmware on my MyLink. I really want to use BringGo and TuneIn, but alas, not yet.

Agreed! And XM's sound quality is pretty poor as well. However, Pandora now has a 40 hour per month limit on how much free mobile users can use the app. Something to consider.

I should also point out that listening to anything over Bluetooth sucks. The sound quality is terrible.

I wouldnt say the sound quality is terrible its WAY better than any FM station that I've heard. It does however drop signal if you are ever way back on a country road.

XM sounds like a tin can to me.

Listen to a song with a good pair of headphones and compare it to XM.

With MyLink I was tempted to get XM, because there is no CD player. But with Pandora, TuneIn and surely more in the future, I don't see the need.

True but for like 30 bucks for 2 years you can have adless, no limit on skips and no limit so its still much more affordable than SiriusXM. The whole appeal of Sirius used to be that it had no ads but now that is no longer true.

The quality is not stellar but you still have the 1/8" jach and USB port. Personally I just have a 120gb HDD I keep in that top glove compartment thing that has all my music and whatnot. I barely even use the bluetooth at this point.

My 3rd generation iPod is doing the same thing. It's perfect.
