Well, just like that, out of the blue, my iSmart decided to connect to the car after 4 weeks trying, emailing customer service which said it wasn't bound to previous owner and suggesting I check it with a friendly local dealer...
(p.s. switched off Bluetooth on my phone to use USB cable AA for navigation and found out that the car still connected to my phone Bluetooth by itself!!! Don't ask ...)
? I'm starting to get scared of this car, if this is how AI will in the future decide what's best for us ...
