Tech Refresh - Double DIN Beatsonic vs VAISTech, NavTools, Grom
Gentlemen and ladies (assuming there me be one or two out there) I recently purchased a '06 SC430 after looking casually for 2 years. Love the car to date (Black/Black) and am familiar with the options out there for tech upgrades on the SC430, an am wavering on what to do with the ML head unit as I actually like the "look" just not the tech.
Thus, my question is from an integration and clean look standpoint I see two approaches to work with a n Phone 6.
1. Double Din
Beatsonic
Pioneer App Radio 4 with CarPlay
Rear View Cam - output to top screen
Bluetooth via the Pioneer
= $1,100 or so.
2. Modules
Navtools
Rearview cam input to top screen
Vaisetech for bluetooth stream audio
OEM bluetooth for phone (so so quality)
- $500 or so.
Thanks for thoughts from you guys that have taken both approaches - cost isn't really the factor, functionality vs maintaining a clean OEM look.

With the Beatsonic interface choice isn't limited to Pioneer/Fujitsu Ten.
I recently installed an Alpine double din unit into a UK spec 06 car and I believe it works well with other brands too.
