You can run a cleansweep and set up an 8" through an amp set up in the trunk. Or just deaden the doors and run some nice 2ohm 6.5s in the doors. Or both!

I ended up putting Cyanogen 10.1 on my phone and now I can stream bluetroof just fine. I only used one ear in BTW I have to hear the car while driving.

All that being said the sound system in this car sucks mainly because the Nav unit they have is absolutely terrible and it seems as though it was a complete afterthought. I bet a $90 single DIN cheapo sounds better.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.0 on my Galaxy Nexus and I can barely maintain a charge while streaming Pandora through bluetooth, even using a 2.1amp charger. Do you have that issue with CM 10.1? If not, it may be time for me to upgrade.

Using an aux adapter in my TSX I can stream Pandora while running navigation all day long and only drop a few percent while on the charger, so the issue must be related to the bluetooth somehow. I know there's some bluetooth issues with android 4.2, but the version I'm running is based on 4.1.2.

10.1 drains my batter like mad too but if you get the battery saver beta you should be fine. Make sure you grab the nightlys every week or so.

Mine seems to have more issues with network killing battery than bluetooth. That being said even in a slow charger from an old phone I will gain battery slowly with everything pumping.

Thanks for the tips, I'll grab the battery saver and flash one of the newer nightlies.

Edit: Found lots of battery saver apps on the play store, but no battery saver beta. Could you send me a link if it's on there somewhere, or is this something I could get from XDA?

I'm not as disappointed with the sound as much as I am with the functionality of the head unit. That thing has to go. It is an insult to touch screens everywhere to even call it a touch screen.
