You are welcome to use your own navigation app, music app, video player, etc. You ARE stuck with using their apps for things like reverse camera, rear headrest video output, steering wheel controls. Pandora works flawlessly, as does google maps (with an internet connection).

Considering the options on the market (Kenwoods, Pioneers, Sonys), I'd hardly call that "Half-assed". The truth is, even if there were more limitations, the head unit provides a better user experience than head units that cost 2-3x the price.

I seem to have gone off on a rant again.

I'm not calling this HU half-assed right off the bat. I'm just saying that there is a minimum standard for an interface that all of us use every day. And that IF this HU doesn't meet that standard, I wouldn't find it acceptable.
