Anyone on here played with one yet? They look pretty sweet and I think it would work great in our LS based cars.

Got some really bad reviews - I'd pass.

I'd want to try one, it looks to do the things I want it to do and is a really shallow head unit. I don't really want to play CDs anymore. The only thing in my home with an optical drive is my xbox 360!

As said above, it has some really bad reviews, but it also has good reviews too, it also received an update since the bad reviews, so hopefully it is better now.

What I'd like in a headunit are:

-Bluetooth audio/calling
-USB inputs
-SiriusXM radio (not a dealbreaker, but nice to have)
-Decent interface, too many stereos have an interface that sucks

I have Navigon installed on my iPhone and when renting cars, I've used a windscreen mount and bluetooth audio, which has worked pretty well for me. I would like a headunit that provides navigation, but Navigon seems to work ok. I would prefer to not have my phone out though...
