I shelled out the $895 because I thought it would be real, usable, navigation, not the Zephyr-powered garbage that came with it. It's my fault for not testing it out thoroughly before receiving the car, but it's not excuse for what a poor piece of equipment it is in 2013. I've gotten rid of my iPhone since I got the car, so it just gets worse from there.
I can't even have music playing on my Android when I'm listening to the navigation since for whatever reason Google decide to do away with the navigation slider for sound. For the three-to-four times a month that I go to a new place, and have no idea how to get there, I value the ease of having navigation in my car, which adjusts the sounds to audible levels, provides turn-by-turn directions, and displays the basic map information I need in the head unit. I felt raped of those $895 the second I attempted to use the routing on BeSpoke because the only reason I paid the premium was for that feature.
It's just adding insult to injury when I need to cough up another $1200 to have a navigation system on par with what many companies have had years ago.
Clearly you didn't get it for the navigation, and you're happy with your purchase, and I'm happy for you, but the combination of leaving the old BeSpoke unsupported, and unupgraded, and then releasing a newer system in two trims flat out sucks for me.

I understand what you are saying.. And I agree.. I told the dealer I wanted the base radio. All I wanted was Bluetooth to hear the phone hands free.. I rarely listen to the music in the car.. More driving.. Less music. They gave me the bespoke upgrade no charge.. They really wanted to sell me that car. The base radio don't look as good either. IMO.
I do think we got screwed in the support area as they will never look back to upgrade this unit.. I don't have an iPhone either.. So I was pleasantly surprised to have any functionality.. So it all depends on where your coming from.. I would be just as mad if I paid for it and was expecting something descent.
