It is easy enough to pause the audio for any type of input: bluetooth/usb and even yes, line in. It's not a real pause, more of a mute, but BT/USB is an actual pause.
Swiping up/down for volume, left/right for prev/next track work fine.
I"ve got it rooted, gmail/voice/etc installed. BT tethering works great. It has a 'dual mode' for BT in which you can connect more than 1 phone. It works well, but you lose ability to BT tether. On my Evo, BT doesn't show track info, but on my Nexus, I can see Artist/Album/Track info on the screen via BT! That was a pleasant surprise.
I might write up a fuller review to post up & share it since this community has given a lot.

Hey, I'm interested in more info on the Parrot unit. It looks pretty impressive to me except for the fact that it has 2v pre-outs.
What did rooting it allow you to do? If I can get the unit to use my phone's internet connection to stream SiriusXM via their android app, run music off google music, and use google maps/nav I'll be buying one yesterday.

2forme Any ideas on the capabilities of the new Appradio3? Can your Ca-fi unit do the above?
I keep looking at the pioneer double din nav units but I feel like I'd be losing so much by moving away from google for nav and most my my media would still be streaming off my phone via BT since I get most everything from google music all access and SiriusXM on my phone.
