I keep hearing things about a wifi dongle? is there a usb port on the back of this unit or do you have to use the one on the dash?

where would you put a usb hub and is that compatible?
The HU will behave like any other andriod device and attempt to connect to any wifi network that it's been configured with. I have my phone setup to turn on hotspot when my blutooth connects to the HU. The wifi dongle allows it to connect to wifi, of course.

There are two available ports (one of which requires an adapter for the existing front console). You can use a USB hub to connect multiple devices. I currently have the ca-fi dashcam using one of the ports and then a cheap, non-powered, USB hub to connect a USB thumbdrive and the wifi dongle (stored in the glove box).
