Does it use Google Maps? Does it have turn by turn voice navigation? Is there Pandora or spotify? Pros/cons? Debating between this and Pioneer 940. Thanks!

It uses I Go Primo maps that is turn by turn with voice.

No Pandora or spotify right now.

Pros. Internet, Wifi, 4 USB, HDMI mini port, dont need a Iphone
Cons. No HD radio

So..could you get an OBD II bluetooth adapter and use the "Torque" app to display gauges, data, etc? That would be *******!

That would be cool.
If you can get someone to make the app work on the asteroid smart first.

Check XDA Developers to see if any of those guys picked up on it. Getting Google Play on there would be bad ***.

I'd love it if Cyanogenmod supported it.

HOLY **** 2.3.7 out of date much?

Glympse is the **** though. Perfect for when you're headed some place & they need to know where you at & constantly getting the texts?

"I'm at the corner of Your Mom's House & Likes it in the Butt."

"I'm now by the place you met that transvestite, but deny."

Instead, send them a Glympse! Love that app.

Anyone else think it would be interesting to follow LAYGO around for a day just based on this post?

Man, thanks for this video. I just realized you are Houston too! You are making me a believer in converting to this unit. I love Pandora though. I have no problem streaming from my phone to this unit if I have to though.

How much total did you spend to do the head unit?

was the install plug and play...no wire cutting and uses the weak Bose system with no problems including steering wheel buttons for volume?

If you're not tethering your phone, how does the navigation via I Go Primo?

I really, really, really wish this unit had Pandora.

I order from Crutchfield. I got free shipping, dash kit and $60 wiring harness. I found a coupon code and saved $25. Total was about $635.

My car does not have steering wheel button

It's called Ultra-Gauge. Cost $70 shipped from San Antonio

Make sure you order the PAC OS-2C-CTS

With the PAC its just plug and play. You will have to solder the wire from the radio to the PAC device but you dont have to cut any wire on the car.
