I have had it for about 3 months now.  Was not part of beta but they opened more slots a around October / November for others to join so that is when I got into beta.

 

Works well, was even able to get the car to support wireless AA from a service menu in my car.

 

It's a lot better than the old interface.  Very much like carplay but still has a way to go to catch up to carplay.  One thing that bugs me is widgets disappear (like widget for work and home travel etc).

Plugged in my phone to find the Coolwalk upgrade live and running! Using a Z Flip4 if that's useful information lol.

Perhaps I need to upgrade my phone 🤣




 I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

My version switched over during a trip today - stopped for a couple of minutes to pop into a shop; got back into the car, and new interface....

I have the version that is apparently the new one, but still looks the same to me.

Interesting. I actually did nothing to activate this. One day it was the old view when I connected, the next it was the new view. The only non standard thing is it's wireless Android Auto using AAWireless.

I have it now, seems to be working fine. I like being able to go full screen after having that split screen setup for some months now.
