UPDATE....I just had my 5k mile service. While it was in the shop I had them look (and listen) to this subwoofer issue. They agreed it is "rattling" and that they had one other LC500 convert complain of the same issue. They determined the cover on sub is making the "rattling" sound. Apparently it doesn't happen on the non-convert. They ordered another part to see if that helps. Also offering to try to insulate it with some materials to see if that resolves the issue. If I leave the cover off it sounds great. Obviously not a long-term solution.

I'm wondering what people are using for a music source? I about only listen to EDM at volumes 46-50. No distortion. I think I have my bass up one notch. I about only listen to Pandora via the Aux input vs BT, and hear better fidelity.

Android Auto has to be BT. Check out Aux if and when you get the chance.

clarification, it appears phonecalls still use bluetooth when connected android auto via usb, but the audio (music) goes over usb

My 2018 doesn't have AA or compatibility anyway.

The 2016 Corvette I traded in for the LC had Android Auto wireless. I never knew there was a wired version. I thought much of the idea of AA was to avoid having to wire in your phone. Which I specifically don't mind doing with Aux for better fidelity over BT. And why I hardly used AA in the first place.

So hn you had an aftermarket wireless in your ‘Vette? I have that in my daily Honda Civic Si.
Just put in an adapter for wireless Carplay in the LC, it works very well, total plug and play. Using satellite for music.
Wireless will never provide the musical fidelity that a cable can. But so convenient for short trips, never see the phone at all. Just hop in, start the car and the Waze traffic map and satellite music come up before I’m out of the driveway.

I'm going to try it again today in the LC via USB and see...

I’d be surprised if the C8 has wireless CP. No ‘Vette before it had wireless for sure unless it was done aftermarket.
I remember when we got our first LC and I was looking for where to put the phone while driving. Then I realized the car was advanced enough that I’d not need to see the phone at all for the things I do on a daily basis. I put it in the console on a four inch charge cord and had Carplay with Waze and Pandora and Spotify. I could work it all through the car, even if the touchpad was abhorrent going from app to app. Still better than messing with the phone while driving.
But now with wireless, this whole ecosystem is finally coming together. Five years ago, having a phone out in a car was heresy, certain death for us all. Then Carplay/Android Auto came along, the cars adapted with bigger screens and now I just step in and it all comes to life.
More improvements will be coming, getting easier and safer. I want a weather radar on Carplay. As of now I do need to get the phone or ipad out to get that. But the whole integration of the car to our digital way of life is coming together nicely.
