Edited to be more clear. If I have an iPhone / CarPlay , am I "stuck" using the iOS / CarPlay , or is there a built in Android option that just uses my phone's data and then lets me use basically the entire Google play store, while still receiving texts and phone calls and iMessage s?
This also enables wireless Carplay to your existing wired CarPlay, as your phone will connect to the box wirelessly (which is already plugged in to your car) instead of your car directly.
I tend to ramble so let me know if what I said is confusing and I can clarify
So if these go out who knows when you will get the update to get it working again. Luckily I was able to return it, prob get charged a fee for opening it,. Still waiting for my refund.
I just realized how these boxes you are at the mercy of Carlink to come up with updates if the Auto manufacturer comes out with an update to break the Carlink being used.
Because Tesla doesn't support AA/CP by default, it's a big bet to even buy the device in the first place, but that's for a completely different product and not for this "AI Box".

What you say is true about the Tesla. I guess my message is that if the connection is ever broken or an update for the car breaks the connection then you are at the mercy of Carlink to get a fix to all their users quickly and easily.
Luckily Android Auto and Apple Carplay and auto manufacturers with native AA/CP integrations are purpose built to be backward compatible to many older and future generations of devices, vehicle updates should not break legacy support of AA/CP.
Like I said, the Tesla browser hack to AA/CP is a complete gimmick, any updates there would be related to how Tesla connects to a LAN, or updates to the browser limiting certain features due to security vulnerabilities

The ability to do this with an existing tablet would be so wonderful
I use Tmobile SIM & I can install pretty any on it. I would recommend it.

I want to be able to play youtube and prime video while I'm waiting in the car in my center display and I do have a Tmobile simcard that I'm currently not using because my galaxy tablet broke. What would you recommend as a media device?
