Say thanks to Juan for the great article:https://pisapapeles.net/bloqueo-celulares-mexico/Sources:(1) https://www.xataka.com.mx/celulares-y-smartphones/zte-b...

I knew devices were getting blocked, but not to this extent. Or the fact that mexico’s own government/regulatory bodies condemned the blocking itself.

Here’s a written article (not English): https://pisapapeles.net/bloqueo-celulares-mexico/

Xioami is the only one (in the list) that sent a notification but didn’t block any function or the device itself: https://www.gearrice.com/update/xiaomi-affirms-that-it-is-not-blocking-mobile-phones-purchased-on-the-gray-market-in-mexico-even-though-it-continues-to-be-a-problem/

    Hmm. My old phone died after hitting the floor, unfortunately… Maybe there’s some older, relative it capable device I could find…

    To be perfectly honest though, I’m having so many issues with AA I’m not too attached to the specific product. It’s been randomly dropping its connection and reconnecting ever since I bought that car (2017 Hyundai), and nothing works to fix it. I tried multiple phones, tons of cables of variable quality, a wireless adapter, none of it fixes it. Meanwhile, my wife’s iPhone is working perfectly great on the same head unit and USB port. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just don’t know of any half decent alternative…
