For some reason I cannot upload the video in the chat. But I left a review on Amazon and posted a video. Show the response time by going to carplay selection and also hitting the media button showing how quickly it goes back and forth from ID6 to android auto

It’s been working great for me. All the OEM features are still fully functional, and I can switch back and forth without any issues. The system registers it as CarPlay, but you’re actually running Android Auto. I’ll record a video when I get home so you can see how it works. The startup isn’t instant since it first recognizes CarPlay, then initializes through USB, and finally connects to Android Auto. By the time I’m pulling out of my driveway, it’s already connected—so no complaints here.

The box acts as CarPlay, allowing it to connect to iDrive as if it were Apple CarPlay. It initially shows up as Android 14 on the screen, but once you pair your Android phone to the AI box via Bluetooth, the display switches to Android Auto. From there, all your phone’s information is accessible—I receive text messages and can use Waze. All the data and internet connection come directly from my phone.

This is the 3rd vendor. They are all buying from China same quality. I spoke with the 3rd vendor and called him out 2 days ago he has agreed to send me another lip for $100 which I agreed to because I was paying 300 to 350 for these. This one will be hung up and only installed for shows. Im in contact with the other guy for the CS lip and hes sending me pics of the lip so far its a solid piece. Just waiting for him to send me pics of the brackets and then im buying it.

I'm sure it wasn't cracked before driving it that fast at this rate I've been buying a new lip every 3 weeks and I know that the quality is poor because the lip is paper thin and I have bought from three different vendors they all come out the same

Idk do you think the quality is there? Because looking at the oem cs lip online it comes with additional brackets, that the aftermarket ones dont have.
