I wanted wireless to still have all the functionality while keeping my phone in my pocket.
Plus, it plays DVDs and CDs, has a built-in and highly elaborate crossover for the OEM speakers which, to my surprise, improved the stock sound tremendously. It also is completely flush and can be controlled by either a wireless remote or swiping gestures - so no finger prints.
I also loved the one-piece dash trim. I hated the piano-black trapezoidal trim of the OEM head unit bezel - subject to much glare and dirt. This 200mm unit fits the opening perfectly without the need for the side "space filling" brackets of normal double-din units.
It's all just personal preference, I guess.

Was not aware that the US model didn't have Android Auto or that you had to have a physical connection. I guess that shows that Apple has more clout in the US. Or, SoA doesn't have a clue...
Plus 1 for being able to play CD's and for the cross over to give better sound. Live and learn, eh!
