None. I have the GPS splitter but the MB cable has a combination Sirius/GPS antenna so the regular splitter will not work, Using the MB GPS will be best but without doing modification on the actual cable it is a no-go. I won't risk damaging that cable.

They sent me a new wiring harness and that fixed all my issues.

Couple leftover questions:

1) I know the 10.25" screen doesn't have a camera, so it can't detect ambient light. Is there an app that people are using to adjust brightness based on time of the day?
2) Where can I find new boot logo/animations that I can import?

Does yours not automatically dim when your headlamp turns on?

It doesn't seem to; no.

Does the dimming reflect in the Android settings? ie, if I have it set to 90% with the headlights off in the daytime, and I turn the headlights on, should I be able to see the android brightness settings show something lower than 90%?
