Amazon's current sale not as good as some of the earlier ones.

I looking at getting a 1/10 scale radio controlled Discovery, but they look very expensive.

Re: What have you just bought?
Amazon got my money this weekend, I just wish I'd ordered in one delivery but kept thinking of things I needed.
FINALLY I'm able to purchase the Motorola MA1 wireless Android Auto adapter in the UK via Amazon, it feels like I've been waiting years for it to be available in the UK!
Battery powered motion sensor wardrobe light.
50 clothes hangers.
2 Pillows
4 Pillow Cases.

Yeah the red eagle, but not the curved one. I've only had it a day, but very happy with it so far. Specs.

I've used this for a day and it is an awesome piece of kit to turn an Android Auto wired only car into a wireless one where you can keep your phone in your pocket.
Ideal for short journeys(I've used it for a 30min commute each way to work) where I wanted to use a satnav like Waze for live traffic and potholes etc as well as music.
For longer journey of hours it's not needed as you would have to plug your phone in still for a charge.

My Kuga has Sync3, and when I plug my Note 10+5G in to the cars USB port it loads Android Auto to the screen and I get Google Maps in satellite mode.
I can also talk to my Alexa Echo Auto as well

Just arrived to this morning, and have now set it up (just copied everything off my OnePlus 7 pro phone, and deleted stuff I won't use on the tablet9.
Really liking it so far, and the keyboard is very comfy to use.

Somewhat confused , when I get in the car android auto comes on , can see phone and also Google maps , all I did was put it on phone, haven't plug into anything. " Turn it off"by using VPN on phone, then it's just Bluetooth connection

Yes that's what Android Auto does in any car if your car is compatible with Android Auto you may benefit from other free features, it may even support wireless Android auto, my preference is Waze(owned by Google) over Google maps for Satnav, it is community driven so it will tell you where pot holes are police and stationary traffic as well as better speed camera notifications. I would be happy to use Google maps all the time if it had those features though.
So I've been using the wireless Android Auto dongle for nearly a week and it's fantastic, love not having to drag phone out pocket and plug it in on my commute to work.

Shouldn't be confusing if you understand what Android Auto does.
Your car supports wireless Android Auto if that pops up on car display without plugging phone in.
You now have the ability to chose what Satnav or music streaming apps you wish to use on your cars display and many others, your phone data will be used.
These are apps you first install on your phone.
