3) How long does the boot process take? Ie how long from inserting the key to playing music off Spotify
Thanks
1. Yes, wireless android auto is supported.

2. When the CIC (factory infotainment) boots, it will start with its last selected input. If that's The mr12volt box, then you will see that on boot, video included. Within the mr12volt box, you can tell it to auto start your phone app on boot or not. (carplay or android auto).

This is a helpful option if you boot to CIC and not carplay. (example you normally use the radio or something). The mr12volt box boots up regardless if you are using it or not, and you dont want it auto connecting carplay and draining your phone battery if you are not using it.

3. The mr12volt box boots faster than the CIC does, and the CIC must be booted up to start sound.
