Releases October 4th, so other than some beta testers, don't think anyone's dipped their toes in that pool.

 

[tagle281]

Oh I see. Well I've read a little bit on it but I'm confused because some say it can be used with Non Sync radios. However, the box says only for single disc Sync equipped vehicles.

 

[HEMI LOL]

interested for sure

"Hmm thats pretty cool"

*sees price*

I work at a dealership and have installed one of these units. It seems to do ok. The user interface is fairly easy. Graphics are on the borderline of cheap for the nav portion. I really like how it keeps the screen up high rather than down low in a aftermarket kit. Which after you take the factory radio out you can see why they have to go at the bottom.

yea that price is nuts. For that just get a high end head unit

 

[tagle281]

Yeah but add in the cost of the $200 adapter plate bullshit and harness kit you have to buy and it gets a lot pricier going that route. NOt to mention the kits available aren't the best looking out there.

the problem with just getting a HU, is that the avaliable dash kits are poop. this looks the nicest.

emailed AM, i dont have sync. wondering if im SOL

What would be tits is if it enabled you to use Bluetooth/Satellite but I'm thinking not. Our city is passing a law making it illegal to use a cell phone while driving. So I have to get some kind of handsfree kit anyhow.

It's ~$650 with forum discount and although the rear camera isn't a necessity it's a nice addition.

its been illegal here for years. im not really a talk on the phone guy, but it would be nice to have BT for the rare occasion i need it.

>$700+++

 

[Wes06]

meh, forgot the 10+ needs a crazy expensive dash piece to swap a head unit in.

im actually putting a tablet into my car to use for music/nav/whatever else i need, like OBD reader/air controller once they finish it

 

[BadHabit2Break]

The face still looks like ass.

 

[Sky Render]

Wow, I really like it. I really wanted in-dash nav when I bought the car but couldn't get it.

Yes, $700 is expensive, but not when you look at all the adapter bullshit you need to make an aftermarket radio fit and integrate with Sync and the steering wheel controls. It's also cheaper than the factory option was.

$700 bucks will buy go-fast parts

 

[riceeater33]

It looks like you get a lot for the price, it even comes with a backup camera. Its a better value than just getting the backup camera and the rear view mirror combo on AM which is actually more than this is. I want one

 

[flyfaster1]

Nice, but I cant hear the radio very well in my car anyways... mehh.

This, I don't get the allure.
I have a BT earpiece for my phone and a $100 garmin GPS.

DONE.

 

[BadHabit2Break]
