- 2021 Taycan 4S

Hi,
I got my 2021 Taycan 4S a month ago with 3600km on the odometer now. It sure is a great car! Despite the PCM problem every once in a while, I forgot all of it while driving.
The main problem for me is that I use Android (Fold 3) and my Taycan doesn't have Android auto support (Hopefully will be with PCM update in the future).
I got an old iPhone to use with the Taycan. Everything was fine, except phone calls from my Andriod phone will not go through. PCM will disable Bluetooth when CarPlay is in use.
I've read about a CarPlay box / AI box called UX999 someone here mentioned that it works pretty well for them. I got one but the problem is that the GPS signal from the Taycan antenna doesn't pass through to the box, rendering the built-in google map useless.
However, the box has an app called "Speed Play" which acts as a bridge for wireless android auto for my phone and the PCM. Due to Taycan's widescreen resolution (1600x720), the android auto screen got stretched a bit to fill the space. Latest android auto update brings split-screen support for the widescreen resolution, but I cannot make it appear on UX999.
Do you have a recommendation for any other box?
Thanks.
TL;DR: UX999 has a problem with GPS signal passthrough for Taycan. Android auto didn't have a split-screen and got stretched.

There is a newer one called UX999 Pro, which suppose to be better with the Zlink app instead of the SpeedPlay app for android auto. Did anyone here try it?
