I'm in the Los Angeles area. Ordered my 2019 CS at the end of April and waiting for it. It is scheduled to be built in October.

While I am waiting, I already planned to install a few gadgets/mods for the new baby. Here is the list (not in any specific order):

-Dashcam (front and back) with backup battery.
-An aftermarket Android module add-on to the PCM. I am a big fun of Waze and did not order the factory NAVI. The add-on will put full Android on the PCM, so I can have Waze.
-Wifi hotspot, so the Android module can access internet.
-Numeric Racing NM400 short shifter.

Can you link to the PCM add-on?
Seconded. Despite it being used in Audis, Volvos, and a few other makes since the 2016 model year, decent third-party accessories for the MOST 150 infotainment interface (which PCM4 is) are only now hitting the market, and we all would definitely like to see what is coming available.

(Also, FYI: For iOS, Waze (and Google Maps) will be use-able on CarPlay when v12 launches late this summer. This is likely a reaction to protect market share since Android Auto supports the app because Google now owns it -- and neither Apple nor Google can directly control which car manufacturers favor which OS in their models.)

Well, let us know how this goes, OP.

I, for one, would not order from a Russian-owned company with technical offices in Hong Kong ... and the multiple currencies accepted and regionalized phone numbers scream gray market.

Haha. Agree. The unit is actually made by a South Korean company. I know they also sell direct, and most likely I will just buy from them. They are also working on a newer model. By the time I have my CS, the newer model might be ready.
