@Haz1 Good to hear. You might not want to cover the controller in a box as it may overheat. I know the glove box is enclosed as well, so it may not matter.

Good write-up complete with pics. Now, can you use the maps and listen to Sat radio simultaneously?

Mfg's website indicates not possible because both require the AUX input.

Thanks

I have zero issues listening to Sat radio while simultaneously listening/using Apple Maps. I have literally done that a million times...

Ditto. Can listen to satellite radio via the COMMAND system if you subscribe, or via the Andoid Auto/Airplay through the RoadTop. Sirius let's you use an "app" with a subscription, which we have for another car. But yea, can listen to everytihng while having maps showing.
I understand what you mean about the "aux" in in the manual. That's why I thought I had a bad or the wrong MI to aux adapter. You, of course, need Bluetooth audio as part of the COMMAND system, but if you do, works fine.

Folks, quick update. I've had this unit now for about 6 months. Zero issues. No overheating. No nothing. Just works. And I've changed phones and that was easy too. This system is WAY better, to me, then "updating" the factory maps, which are old before you start.
Very pleased. Great advice on the forum, which helped me think it through. For once, I'm completely happy with this new system... and I'm never happy with anything! I'd recommend going for it.
