I like it. Works good for me. The Navigation gets me there. Many people add I Go nav, but it works. Don't really need 3D maps. Plays DVD and IPod. My blu tooth works too, that's all I need it for.

Does this units Bluetooth support A2DP? I see some of the Fly Audio stuff shows A2DP and others don't. Not sure if this unit includes it.

Yeah, if those things work flawlessly then it would be great. But the price doesn't really justify the service and product from the company. I PMed Mat and haven't got a response yet. So I decided to spend the next 3 years reading ALL 60 something pages (-_-)'

It sounded so promising and just became a huge let down to the the guys who contributed a lot of their time and effort in helping this product become what was promised. Maybe if the price was right I'd give it a shot and hope for the best.

Anyone know where exactly their office is in Taiwan? I'm here for another week and can stop by if they are in the Taipei area.

I just got it. Did they ever resolve the AUX issue? If I wont be able to get full control over my iPod, I do have a connector that lets me control 1-6 play lists. If this connects to the system and works then it could be another option for others.

In that a/v in door the sd card goes on top and you plugged something in on the bottom? What is that input for and what cable? If it was able to control an iPod with touch screen imagine what you could do with an iPad.

Anyone else find a use for that input jack behind that a/v tab?

I did something similar to this - I hooked up the extra RCA inputs to an Apple Composite Video Cable. With the help of a little iPhone jailbreaking I now retain full iPod control and can play music (while displaying the album artwork on the display), stream videos (and anything else my iPhone shows on-screen) to the display. I don't even use the iPod cable that comes with the unit anymore...

It also functions as a headphone jack. Let's say you're listening to a CD or DVD playing in the unit while driving late at night - you can plug a set of headphones in and enjoy the media while everyone else in the car sleeps.

I have one and I hate it. I was even going to sell it, but decided against it because the alternative (The stock cluster) looks awful in comparison.

That being said:
- p*** poor ipod control
- DVD playback that's screwy
- Nav that is useless. Seriously. Search for the store "Target" in the city of "Irvine" in the state of California. Zero matches. Google map it. There are nothing less that three in the city. Ok, I can understand not finding a dentist, or small mom & pop store, but you can't find a single instance of a national chain?

If this were Amazon.com, I'd give it two stars.

Mat @ Automax gets five stars, but Flyaudio as a company gets no stars.
