There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I do have two suggestions: 1. The buttons on the unit are black-on-black (around the answer button) and are NOT backlit. Suggest you paint them white, or glow in the dark so they are easier to see in low light and you can figure out which one you are pressing. 2. The remote controls works great, but the symbols on buttons on the remote to NOT match the symbols used on the buttons around the unit (again, around the answer button), leaving you to guess which function on the remote does the same thing as on the unit. This is a nuisance thing but don't lose the remote. The remote has some functions that are not available on the unit (understandable), just recognize the difference.
This unit would be great for say a classic car that has FM (or added in a hidden area), because you can add the functions from your phone without hurting the classic look of the car. Also, I don't understand why the auto manufacturers don't get out of the entertainment systems business (I really do, its $$$) and just add the capability to use your phone directly from their in-car displays. It is simply a matter of programming and wiring. And using your "free and always up to date" map and GPS makes a lot more sense than paying the dealer several hundreds (to several thousands) of dollars for their bug ridden and inaccurate navigation systems that you have to pay over and over to get updated. This unit goes a long way to making it much easier to leave out the fancy radio/navigation system and just use your phone instead.
Latest edit. Finally took the time to get a sharpie to color in the buttons, as they disappear in the car. Especially on bright sunny days, as in most autos, this unit will sit lower down, in the shadows. See photos. Rather than trying to color in the depressions, I covered over the flat part of the button, leaving a good contrast. First button is a little sloppy, as I was experimenting. But his seemed to work well to provide a good contrast..
