Hello!

1st time Sonic owner, 1st time new car owner!

Purchased 2016 Sonic LTZ 1.4t automatic on Jan 24th. Still loving the car. Trying to figure out the important stuff.. Like best phone mount.. Lol.

Will be used mainly as daily commuter. ~ 50 miles/day.

I'm in California, central coast.

Welcome to the SOF Familia! Lots of info retained within these threads.
Love that silver color!

Welcome to SOF!
Agreed on the colour; silver looks great on the Sonic.

Curious why anyone would need a phone mount when you have MyLink. I just leave the phone in my pocket and use hands-free, or leave it plugged in and inside the top cubby and use nav through MyLink.

Thank you.

I haven't figured out how to get bringgo to work as well as google maps. At least enough I wish to try out a mount.

I'm not really liking bringgo. When "going faster than posted" it lets you know that, every 8 seconds! I quickly disabled it and switched back to Google maps.

Are you talking about a google turn-by-turn guided nav app? If so, isn't there an ongoing cost or at least data usage with that?

If you disabled that warning feature in BringGo settings, then problem solved, so why switch to Google maps?

Well, to be honest I didn't know you could disable it. Guess I've grown accustomed to Google maps and prefer it. I still have unlimited data as well

Ah, I thought you meant you already disabled that feature but switched to google anyway. Yeah I have a limited data plan but my phone only cost me about $50 a year; an unlimited data plan can be expensive.

For me. Using the phones voice commands, I haven't been able to figure out if there is anyway for "Navigate home" to open up bringgo. I don't believe bringgo takes voice commands.
Bringgo's safety feature of not being able to input an address while the vehicle is in motion seems intrusive.
Lastly, panning left/right, up/down on the bringgo 7" screen isn't ideal. I'm out driving/exploring alot more and am frequently trying to pan the map too see where the forks in the road end up. Very cumbersome/slow compared to my google map experiences.

All that said.. I do enjoy the 7" bringgo screen. Alot. Just exploring my options.

If I had that program. .... the thing would kill my battery... im almost always over the posted... [emoji41] plus it would drive me nuts! If I need to use any program, I just use Google maps... [emoji106]
