So over the phone the dealership said it was $90 to program. Got there and they said $148 but dropped it down to $99 for me. After they finished my oil change, and tire rotation, the tech came out and said that his manager said no programming required or existed and it should be plug and play. We went to the car and plugged it in and nothing. Manger ended up saying it must not be compatible though I showed her the part number and specs that said it was compatible. Long story short, lost out on $248.

Oh and before those carplay/android auto fanatics chime in, the music sounds horrible through Android auto and I prefer the baked in Spotify App. Waze is worse with sound as there is some kind of bug that keeps the volume really low sometimes until I get an alert then it jumps extremely loud.

I'm going to try out this cloud map I suppose. Appatently it starts rolling out OTA today but we know how those OTA updates can get when it comes to when you'll actually receive it.

My detailed observations ("°" means neutral, "+" positive, "-" negative): Hardware & software ° Samsung Galaxy S10e with Android 11 ° AAWireless ver 1.2.3 ° 2018 Camaro 2SS with MyLink 2.5 AAWireless exterior impressions + Professional build quality and packaging + Package includes sturdy USB-C cable + Good online support via dedicated site/forum (considering this is an indiegogo project) + Android companion app for configuration and OTA updates that is fairly decent, has lots of modes and compatibility "knobs" ° Setup is a bit tricky, one must understand that the unit uses both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so the idea is that one must pair it with BT first, then it negotiates its own Wi-Fi connection between the phone and the unit, and then it's good to go - I struggled a lot initially with settings, had to enable wireless projection in Android Auto in two places, then reboot both the phone and the AAWireless unit several times before the setup started working. The trick (I think) was to "prime" the wired AA connection first, get through the approvals on both the car and the phone, then switch to wireless in the next "cycle". Usage and performance + Initial connection is fast, only takes a few seconds after starting the car (ie the USB slots receiving power)—I do have some spurious connection issues that I've reached out to support about, though + Works fine with my Silverado USB receptacle that has 2 USB, 1 aux and 1 SD card reader slot + Performance is very, very good—no input lag, no GPS lag, smooth scrolling, smooth pinch zooming in google maps, no audio issues, instant response + Integration with the car works perfectly—steering wheel controls all work inside and outside of AA, controlling exactly what one expects in terms of soundtracks, volume, mute in both scenarios + The unit didn't get hot at all after about an hour of use (the phone obviously did warm up considerably sitting on the wireless charging pad) + It handles car restarts without a hitch, reconnection is almost instantaneous ° Haven't yet been able to test parasitic draw after turning the car off, hopefully there is none, provided it doesn't prevent the USB module from properly going to sleep ° Longevity and long term stability remains to be seen, I've only just received the unit Overall This is a no-brainer to me for the price I paid ($55), as it provides the tether-free 2021+ AA experience with outstanding preformance and responsiveness, sacrificing absolutely nothing in the process. 10/10 so far.

Note that these are two completely different projects by different teams, it's just the concept that's practically the same.
