I put MMB unit in the side pocket near the passenger well and that seems to help with heat. I also changed the "Display Mode" to "Mode 3" and the lag is also more reasonable. Unfortunately, the HUD doesn't work with Google Maps on this unit.

@mack73 can you confirm, on your Yolan unit, directions for Google Maps shows on the HUD and/or dashboard?
No it doesn't. When I was testing with my daughter's iPhone it also didn't have directions in the HUD. But I also didn't test a whole lot with directions. Some quick googling shows it only shows HUD directions from the built in Nav, not from Carplay. So I believe the experience here is the same as native carplay.

You do know what game changer means right?
Yea. It's definitely not what you're using.
Quit being a puss and take your panels apart. It isn't rocket science
Spent 8K extra for a final edition but for some reason 500 bucks on a head unit upgrade is too much, eh? lol

You do understand you sound like an idiot right? The MMI solutions do not have the same functionality and cost twice as much. You are saying you would rather have 500 milliseconds less lag but have to use the stupid dial to interact...... Your argument is completely illogical.

But you will be happy to know that I can confirm that Display mode 3 also cuts the lag on my unit by half. It's very snappy.. Guess it's even more game changing now

I haven't really gone though most of the settings, I did mess with the display modes before but didn't immediately see a difference so went back. But I wasn't also looking specifically for lag. Good find @sharkcat

Be careful, you're going to trigger some people with that language

Would you be able to provide another video? I'm curious how it looks like
