On a side note, I recently rebuilt my agent using the .41 ISO because I was getting an error with in app updating. When attempting an in app update I get prompted that my current version doesn't support it. Anyone else run into this? It's happening again with version .41.
For iOS users, another benefit would be if you want to use CarPlay at the same time since iOS can only handle one wifi connection at a time and CarPlay uses wifi. This was why I use the USB cable with my agent. But I like the BT option and will give it a shot. Hopefully iOS will work with BT and the agent but Apple rules for using BT devices can be "squirely" at times.

Regarding the update error you mentioned, I recently got it when trying to update my agent to ver 41. However, I figured it was due to low signal strength on my phone (only 1 bar at the time). I tried again (with better signal strength) and my agent updated remotely without issue.
