Protip: Many cars use slow charging USB 2.0 for wired Android Auto - if you use this, you cab instead plug your phone into a fast charging outlet instead
The whole buffer/quick record that's been added to video card drivers have been a boon for capturing those blimo and you'll miss it episodes of hilarity.
That functionality only works with Google Keep. Google killed off integration with third party apps early this year.
I've just sworn off using it and using the app we were already using manually. Sort of hoping the year of voice will eventually produce a viable replacement because I'm sick of Google killing shit off and forcing you to use their app. "Be different, not the same" 🙄
