Love this deck. Took a while to figure out how to use all functions. Mirror link only works with a couple android phones. So make sure you check out if yours will work before buying. I use my iPhone but had to buy the av cable that makes it fully functional with passenger app control. My family can watch Netflix and YouTube while driving pandora is awesome. You have to buy gps motionx app for you iPhone if you want a gps. Its like .99cents well worth it great gps. The question is what can't this deck do if you know what your doing.

It says it's iPhone compatible, it's not. Mirror Link only works with one phone on the entire planet. (new Samsung Galaxy). But what ticks me off the most is if your phone is connected to BT (so you can talk through the speakers), you can't ever play Pandora and half the time no music will play at all. But I will say the sound quality on it is EXCELLENT. five stars in that department no doubt. Had a Jensen before this and this destroys it in sound quality. One cool thing that not many people would mention is the backgrounds and the touch effects. you can set it to leave a cool trail behind where your finger touches the screen. it's a nice touch and makes it look really expensive. also the lay out and functionality is very good. it's really easy to use. you can also set the background to like 10 different moving backgrounds that are all really cool and will throw the name of the song into the motion flawless and it's super cool to look at.

I got this for our Volvo XC90 for a couple of reasons. First I wanted to use the mirror link for navigation by coupling it with my iPhone. Even though the packaging, written material and advertising say made for iPhone, this technology doesn't work with the iPone. In fact, the only way I discovered this was by looking in the manual and in small print it gives you a web site to look up compatibility. Only two phones will work with the mirror link and neither is the iPhone - lame! Another reason I got it was for the BlueTooth connectivity. This is extremely slow when you first get in and turn on the car. It has to go through this warn up period and then you have to select the phone every time from the stereo touch screen. More trouble than it's worth. Another reason I thought this would be great was the touch screen HiDef display. Yes the screen clarity is great. However, it won't play while the car is in drive and the touch function is not like any touch screen I've used. It is hard to select the icon you want. It is hard to work the playback controls. It is hard to use in any function I tried. Another downer is that none of my rear speakers worked since it only has 4 outputs for speakers, which is true for any after market stereo, but unlike other stereos there isn't an amp for the remaining speakers. That left me with 8 useless speakers! The final downfall is that you aren't supposed to leave the unite in the car if it's over 110 F. I live in Georgia and park on the street. That's a regular interior temp inside the vehicle 8 months of the year. You can remove the faceplate but it's the size of a medium tablet, only 3 times as thick. I replaced this worthless, expensive stereo with a much more affordable Alpine stereo with BlueTooth link and a power amp. Now I'm rocking out with the volume at not even a third of maximum!

This is more or less a false promise. (1) It says (like everyone else has mentioned) that it is compatible for the iPhone via MirrorLink. This is false. "Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch) do not work with MirrorLink. That's because most stereos already work with Apple devices, just via the USB cable. MirrorLink is designed to be the bridge for all of the OTHER smartphones – eventually." http://www.crutchfield.com/S-EwSM69truhm/learn/mirrorlink-and-your-car-stereo.html That's not my only complaint however- (2) The "GPS Display" can only really be used by certain apps. Don't waste your time on the research though. The Apps compatible with this "high end" deck aren't worth your time. They are poorly supported and hardly get you where you need to go. (3) In order for me to get the radio on this fabulous looking deck, I have to purchase ANOTHER harness for my steering wheel and an adapter for the deck. That doesn't sound too bad until you put in the extra cost to get back what you already had! ($~85 for both including shipping.) My advice to people in the market, please please please do a thorough research on the deck and make sure it's 100% what you want. If you invest the time and money into something like this, you'd better be sure you can live with it!

I have installed this unit on my VW GTI Mkv, Best Buy did an excellent Job installing my unit. I love everything about it, Bluetooth, Screen Size, Sound and much more.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Owners, This App, DriveLink is now on Samsung's App Site

I purchased the unit and had The Geek Squad install. The following day I updated it and after the update was successful the unit froze and stopped working. at this point I decided to return the item and have my origional stereo re-installed. I was still stuck with labor charge even though the unit was not working.
