This is a great idea but as someone who drives from Las Vegas to Reno multiple times per year, it doesn't matter how good my plan is because the cellular coverage on the 95 is god awful. Satellite radio is really one of the only things that makes the drive bearable.
Just about everything else about the Starlink unit is the BRZ is hideous as well. It's slow to do nearly everything making it hazardous while driving to do something as simple as change the radio station. The bluetooth only sort of syncs with the phone and fails to import frequently called numbers or the call history deciding that instead maintaining its own lists is somehow better. Also, it alphabetizes by last name which is different than how Android alphabetizes making the contact list just a touch more challenging to navigate than it should be.
A couple more paychecks and the stereo fairy will be visiting my BRZ.
