yeah I figured out by purchasing one.

Pros :
- wireless connectivity
- cheap
- fast
- easy to use, great integration with the OEM knob control
- does what you can expect from android auto / carplay
- make the car more modern.
- volume and track skip steering buttons works

Cons :
- eat the phone battery (phone is hot !) ; 18%/h on a S23 Ultra (big battery)
- very limited ! not much app compatible with android auto and the hacks are very weak
- for a N54/N55 forget about monitoring your engine with something like jb4/mhd
- no GPS sound when on the FM radio since you're out of the AUX
- MMI box module got priority , means on every car ignition ON , the MMI popout even if you shut down the car with the OEM CIC display. Very annoying when you're multiple driver and few are occasional so no phone linked.


IMO a good full android screen is better, this is what I have on my audi and I only automatically share the phone hotspot, and I have full android experience , full apps and full mod/hack availability. Does not kill the battery.

I really might change it next spring.
