I am considering ordering this one today too.
How are software updates handled with these? Seems like these boxes might be similar across manufacturers. Is there an xda developers or other forum that has information about this?

Carplay/Android Auto itself is really the software running on your mobile device and being emulated/displayed through the firmware on the carplay box. They do this because otherwise every car would require a firmware/software update each time a new OS came out which wasn't practical.
I would say unless the manufacturer released some specific bug fix for some problem in their firmware, you should never have to update these. The carsara website has nothing under "support" or "Firmware updates" so I assume once you get this, thats the end of your support.
