Hi @profsg.
Thank you for the video. I have fewer questions if you don't mind:
If you have CarPlay/AndroidAuto in use, what happens to the original interface? Do any settings get changed or do you go into unexpected menu options on a background?
Are you aware of any interaction with a heads-up display from the CarPlay: will it show navigation hints (if applicable)?
Is the wireless connection stable after positioning the antenna from the module?
If you switch to CarPlay in FM radio mode, will the radio continue to play or it go silent?
Last one: if you have a 360 camera will it continue to appear in auto mode on a screen while driving below 10 km/h?
Thank you :)
Drive safe.

Is wifi still required with android auto wireless? Or does it work on a bluetooth connection only?
