Connectivity

Just to clarify, the "full connectivity" in this case refers to being able to connect your phone via Bluetooth or USB to play music and make or answer phone calls. It's a fairly outdated system that uses TomTom navigation and a few proprietary apps, but no Android Auto or Apple CarPlay implemented. https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/in-dash-navigation/connect_3d_nav/
Alfa suggests they plan to install a more modern infotainment system with those capabilities, perhaps even with touch-screen, supposedly for later in the the model year 2018, but there have been no specifics revealed and no date. "Late availability" is all they will say.

more importantly, the SA tester says it's a "good handling car"
