I don't watch anything as I drive l, but I have a manual and didn't want to have to e-brake for any features and wanted everything done at once. The removable face was a deal closer for me as I have the tuffy underseat lock box which fits my Sig p229 and radio faceplate.

Per your request. I skipped the Sirius antenna bs. Buy the Sirius app for your phone for like $4 a month and stream it via Bluetooth. You can then also take it anywhere (office, house...etc). The Sirius adapter is not worth the price in my opinion. I did the install myself and had never done one before. Very easy. However you will immediately find your speakers lacking. I wanted reasonably priced and easy so I ended up getting the kicker upgrade from mopar.

Interesting concept on the sirius...I just paid the $20 for the antennae and you only use a portion if you already had a sirius antennae. (Which i did) I did find from using my phone for GPS so much, and having the GPS on all the time, that I have to be more careful of my Internet usage.

Default Not Very Apply like, Tell me I'm wrong.

So funny enough my brother just put a Pioneer 4000 NEX in his Audi. I only saw it for 5 minutes and he did not even know how to use it yet. but form the little I did play with his 4000 it did not seem to very Apple like, meaning I could nor pinch to zoom the maps and such. He did not know how to mirror yet I am very interested in trying to use the apps I already have for traffic and GPS. From the little I did play the Apple GPS felt very lacking. Please tell me I'm wrong. Does the 8100 operated better with pinch to zoom and all?

I plan to get another crack at the the 4000 next time I see my brother, but that is not too often.

If you were going to drop close to a grand on something your telling me you would not research it fully or can you drop a grand here and there and not care?

I know my family if it is not easy to use I will have to rip it out and get the cold shoulder for quite some time. Not worth the headache.

But I do get your point it does sound funny I'll give you that. Pinch and zoom not the normal JK talk of 4:1 or how big of tires will fit.
