It works!!!! But...
It is low... and take a lot of step to start.
After starting up the car
1. wait for Blutooth connect to establish. You can start the StarLink phone app while you are wait for Blutooth. Blutooth connect take about 30 to 45 second after starting the car
2. Start StarLink App in the head unit(push the APP button or select Starlink from the menu). This will take around 30 to 45 seconds
3. Start Magellan App from the StarLink Menu - this take even longer, I feel like at least a minute
So summing the time up from the steps. It takes around 2 minute and a half after starting the engine. If you need to warm up your car in the morning, it might be ok. But if you are going somewhere, consider that you will also need time to search for the destination in Magellan, it is probably not usable!!!
Anyway, I have an option to it now. I am still happy. But I will suggest if you have not submit for the Magellan service, think again or just submit for a year to try it out first.
