I have the stock BRZ unit and hate the nav. I would love to order this item and all the parts to make it work properly, but i would want to pay someone to install it as I do not trust myself with the task. I appreciate everyone who has contributed to this thread, as I have hope for a new stereo |

I am so tempted to replace the stock head unit with this one but the price is keeping me from pulling the trigger. I think I'll wait until either an updated model comes out or at least one other comparable competitor. Speaking of which, is there anything else out there that can compete with this in terms of features and ease of install? I really don't want to fiddle with a full-blown tablet install even though I think it looks sick as hell.

Thanks I'll look into the Parrot units. At a glance it looks to be not as desirable as this one because it is a little older and has no physical buttons. I'm assuming they have steering wheel controls but that's obviously not useful to me unless I install them. Not too sure about the knock-offs since they're still a few hundred bucks but I'll see what they're about.

If you want a true Android experience like in the Ca-Fi, you have to root and hack the hell of it to get basic things such as Google Play running. Now, as for the knockoffs, if I were you I'd stay with the Ca-Fi. It may be a bit more expensive, but their integration of non-Android hardware specific to car stereos is way better than any of the knockoffs, as it's done into the operating system itself. |

I don't use Pandora, so I can't troubleshoot too deeply with you guys. How did you install the app - Play Store or sideload? Have you tried both ways? Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the app? Running from internal storage or SD card?

In an unrelated question, does anyone know a great music player app that allows you to queue up music easily similar to how spotify will queue a single song. I know Play music has a queue function, but it always pissed me off that if you play a song, it puts the entire album in the queue, and if you want to queue another song it puts it in the queue after your current album. I guess my question is, is there a good music app that will insert your queued songs as the next songs to be played (again, like spotify's desktop application). This will make listening to songs while driving much easier, I know a lot of you like Poweramp, but I've never used it, so I'm unfamiliar if it does this. |

So it looks like both Poweramp and PlayerPro allow me to queue the way I want, and even allow you to change it so that a single click of the song adds it to the queue, very nice. I did notice that PlayerPro adds its queued songs to "now playing" whereas poweramp separates the queue and now playing and goes back to whatever album was playing after the queue is finished, that's nice, but unlike PlayerPro, clicking on a song to start a queue does not start playing the song. I'll have to play around with both players to figure which I like more, ProPlayer's interface seems nicer, but we'll see, they both seem great.

Despite being very tempted, I'm still on the fence since it's a decent chunk of change and my headunit is still working so it would just be a luxury at this point. Maybe I'll wait for the Dashlinq5. |
