Cool, now we'll be able to have a split screen with both map and whatever we're listening to! QVTRUONG, are you a public beta tester or a "real" beta tester? I'm a public beta tester, so that will likely get pushed out in 2-3 weeks.

does this have andriod auto too? Is there wireless andriod auto?

Also 2 iphones, how does it handle wireless carplay? When you wire in, will it override it?

How do these China sourced units compare to GROM from US in functionality?

i got a news from Cosmos that, to make the CarPlay dongle, they need to get an IC that authorized by Apple, so it will work long into the future. It’s not hacked version, so will never get blocked by apple software update.

and the dongle works on iOs 13. I just tried it. Rest assure if you ever wonder that.

Will post some pics soon. Spoiler: the new homescreen looks awesome

This is how the CarPlay Dashboard looks like while navigating. Pretty neat

Now that the 2020 is confirmed with Apple Carplay, will 2019 RX's be eligible for upgrades via the dealership?

Nope, 2019 RX still has enform 1.0. I believe there is technical reason that it cant be upgraded. It doesnt have the hardware to support carplay and alexa.

How come the other older vehicles like the NX were compatible for upgrades though? Did they have enform 2.0?
