Since you have one of these, I have to ask if it’s easier to switch users than the stock.
My SO and I just got a 2019 Honda with Android auto and it seems to require both bt and USB to work, the bt has to be connected first, then plug in the phone by usb and then auto becomes available; the problems start with both of us having our phones connected to the car over bt… So the bt on the car will pick up one of our phones, and the other will be driving, plug in their phone for Android auto and the whole thing jams up on itself.
This leads to a fun dance of unplugging the USB, going into the stereos bt and forcing it to the correct phone, which may take several minutes to even show the phones to pick one, once the bt is sorted, plug in the USB again and finally things start working, usually takes 2-3 minutes to figure out.
If we can eliminate that song and dance when switching between us, that would be ideal.
Do you have any insight into how the aawireless unit handles this?
I haven’t tried the multiple phone song and dance on the unit. It lives in my old 4x4 which my wife refuses to drive.
We do have a similar issue with our other car however '05 Subaru Forester (non Android Auto). It randomly connects phones - as in I can be sitting in the car, start up to go somewhere and the car connects to my wife’s phone while she and it are in the house. The only reliable option I’ve found (only practical if we’re both in the car) is to quickly tap Bluetooth off on one phone before starting the car. If your Honda is starting with a Bluetooth connection, then I’m guessing the same solution should work.
Damn that’s pretty cool. What kinds of things can you configure? Sucks I’m stuck with the MA1 now. The last bullet would mean portrait AA on my portrait system. Be nice to use my full screen.

I have the M1 and love it. Why the AA wireless?

Screenshots of the config screen attached. I’m not connected to the unit right now, hence the error message.
