If the phone goes to sleep its fine doesn't disconnect. if I actually press the lock button on the side ( which I do out of habit ) it will disconnect. Galaxy S23

To the above, regardless. I do not want my phone connected to my dash in any fashion at all EVER. unless I maybe need to charge it.
and as far as I can tell it does NOT CHARGE your phone while connected
I noticed that, my phone was at 50% after a couple hours yesterday.
My old 2014 and 2022 just had the cig ligher 12v accessory, i used a regular old usb charger.. charged my phone!
so the gauge requires the use of a phone for some of the most important functions but doesn't charge it?

Interesting, charges mine each ride.
Interesting.
I wonder WHY some of us see active charging and others do not.????
I've heard the cord may affect the charging function.
ya, I heard the same, so I am using APPLE certified cords.

It charges, depending on how many other apps are open, I make sure the only one running is the go app.

I find it amusing that the majority of posts here are a wishlist for better integration of a smart phone. My opinion? Forget the phone. Carry an inReach, Spot, etc if you are concerned about an emergency. There is so much to be said about unplugging from that ever present screen in your life when in the mountains. That’s one of the draws of the back country for me. Crazy times we live in.

Yes! Forget the phone. If I ever end up snowchecking a big screen it will most likely be because Skidoo doesn’t give another option and I will only use buddy tracking if it’s integrated. Shouldn’t you learn the zone before you go into it? Shouldn’t you count on the buddy system if something goes wrong. Phones die, electronics fail, screen cracks or dies, and **** happens so how can you ensure this is your best option? Are we all so addicted to our phones that we can’t step away from them to play in the most fun conditions on earth? While I can I’ll save the screen money for gas.

What makes you think your preferred experience in the mountains should be the same for everyone? You embrace all other forms of technology from in reach , to what your wearing and the sled your riding except for phones for map use? Seems like a weird flex. If you really want to flex on us go back to a 1994 summit 136 .95 track lug in your leather snowmobile suit. Perhaps don’t concern yourself with what others want from the manufacturer to make their experience better.

After using the big screen for 350 miles I would purchase again
