It turns off. No worries. When you turn off the truck and exit, the green LED indicator stays on. But when the dome lights turn off after closing the doors, so does the MA1 unit.

In reverse, when you go back to your truck, once you open the door the MA1 indicator light starts flashing green. And it will do that trying to connect to the stereo. Once you start the truck or go into accessory mode, then it will connect and go to solid green.

Works great and shouldn't drain your battery unless you're in accessory mode.

Thanks for the much appreciated. I'm on the waiting list and hopefully it arrives before the end of March.

So got it but didn't drive today so didn't really have a chance to use it in action.
Instructions kinda scared me since it says connect android auto with your phone, then quickly connect the MA1 to the same slot that your phone was in, which for me wasn't really an option (use a c to c cable to connect my phone) but it set up just fine.

Delay in switching songs was minimal, felt like it was just the same old pause when a song starts. Can't really remember if this was any significant increase over wired, will have to test. Touch screen operation seemed just like before no increased delay.

Only problem I have with it is my dash cam is USB A also so have a white C->A adapter there looking dumb haha.

I wish Amazon would email me when they come back in stock. I waited 1 day to order and they have been out of stock ever since.

I got an email tonight from Target saying that they had more in stock, and to click the link to order. I had fallen asleep in my chair when the email came in. Woke up, saw the email. Clicked the link. Only 16 minutes from the time the email arrived, and it was already sold out again. WHOA!

However, I went to Amazon and it's back in stock for ordering again right this very minute. So go quickly if you want to order now. It's going to be outta stock again quickly. Please report below if you click the link and it's sold out again.

Good luck!!!

Nice job landing the amazon one.

I placed my amazon order jan 23 and im still waiting. I got the same notofication from Target tonight and bought one.

My order history:

Ordered from Amazon: 1/13 9:20 AM
Original Delivery Estimate, when ordered: 1/28
Updated Delivery Estimate, a few days later: 3/2 - 3/7
Re-Updated Delivery Estimate, almost 2 weeks after order: 1/29 - 2/4
Actual Delivery: 1/27 (Washington State)

Mine says it shipped from Pontiac, Michigan at 10:35 PM 1/25. Went by truck to Cincinnati arriving on 1/26 and then overnight to Seattle (1/27).

A couple things to keep in mind.
It is Chinese New Years. Not much moving in China for about a week.
We are still experiencing trucking back logs, but much better than it was.
I'm sure these have at least one chip in them. How readily available it is, and will continue to be, could be another crap shoot.
It sounds great, and will probably be a must have addition, just don't expect instant gratification..

So finally got to driving and testing it. For reference I am using a pixel 6.

First the startup time is a bit long. I'd say like a good 8 seconds at least. I was already reaching a traffic light when it finally established the connection. Although if you're not parked on the street and ready to drive in an instant this shouldn't matter too much.

There doesn't seem to be any significant delay, I press next track on the steering wheel and I see spotify instantly go to the next track.

My hate for adhesives continues. It fell off the underside of the usb ports constantly. So probably better off using something other than the included sticky pad.

Battery use on my phone was 5%, Total usage time of 1 hour and 1 minute, 10 minutes being background processing.

I noticed some very very brief staticy interruptions (could still hear the music but it semi-dropped out) and if I recall correctly it was when going over some bumps at higher speeds. That or the fact that my phone was in my breast pocket in my jacket. Happened only twice (back to back) and were very brief (a second or less)

Overall, happy with it, once I got finished driving I was smiling cause I didn't have to bother with putting my phone back in my pocket since it was already there haha. Phone didn't seem to heat up or anything but it's a newer phone and brand new out the box so time will tell.
