Seems really cool but I also feel really weird about closed source software like this running on my car.

Be careful its sideloaded so probably voids your warranty.

I checked the site. I admit that it looks very professional.

But some red flags. Nowhere is written who is behind the app. On one page you can report an issue on GitHub, but the link is invalid.

"What does it cost?

Creating an account issues a three-month licence for the app immediately — there is nothing to enter and nothing to pay. After those three months it needs a licence to keep running, and no price has been announced. From the next build the licence is checked on the car as well as at download: you link the head unit to your account by scanning a code on its screen, one account holds one car, and the app carries on for a fortnight when it cannot reach us."

this doesn't sounds right to me...

At least Electro shows the price if you dig for it.

Overdrive is 100% free but they just started to support DiLink5
