    Ah...topical shows.

    Something tells me you've never tried Spotify, but it's all good. I do music only and appreciate the on demand aspect.

    Just reminding you of your first question. Except for stealing, exclusive content is why I have SXM, And yes I have used Spotify, have you used the On Demand aspect of SXM? As for dated tech, the 8 year old Lynx PNP I have in my work van has better tech (like pause and rewind of up to 5 live shows) than my much newer Entune radio in the Tundra.

    I couldn't live without Spotify. I'll download massive playlists people create so it doesn't chew up my data at work. Comedy is great for road trips

    sell it and get a Ford! I could care less about Nav and all the on road distractions that the infosystem does. I do like the Bluetooth, and I have my songs loaded to my mobile devise and play randomly through the vehicle.
    I actually use my Trucks offroad in remote locations. While all the new gadgets are cool they are just another thing to break down. I really don't like the electric shift to 4wd. How do you get the thing in 4wd if the electronics go bad? Answer is you don't.

    Exactly! I go back to 8 track days. The Entune in my 14 is quite fine for my needs. A hell of a lot better than my 07's non-infotainment.

    After reading this , i have to agree my 2002 SR5 did sound way better that i can recall. When we go out hiking with the family we bring our jbl charge4 speaker, and we use that inside the truck and it kicks ass.

    It looks like what I would expect if they built the software using a Super Nintendo. I wouldn't consider a GPS that displays over 15fps as a gadget, more like keeping up with industry technology that has been on the market for over a decade. It's slow, unrefined, looks like crap and at times frustrating. They should be embarrassed putting that crap in a $50k vehicle

    That is hilarious! And frustrating I'm sure.

    100% agree. I cannot understand how satellite radio is still a thing. I always thought the quality was garbage when I would get it for free in a rental. Further, considering the upcoming advancements in Iridium and Starlink, the applications for aviation are diminishing as well.

    I have some issues like this as well, not terrible, but on occasion my phone and HU will be difficult when pairing on the audio and phone connections.

    Mine does this all the time. If my phone's Bluetooth is turned on before I start the car it seems to act up less. If I start the truck and then turn on Bluetooth I will almost always have to get into the setting and manually press the music option
