No they don't. UK/EU GT86's without the JBL optional conversion don't have an external amp.

Depends on your use and expectations.
I'm using:
-Torque Pro
-Built in media player
-Google Navigation
-TuneIn Radio (not the Parrot native version)
-Making & receiving phone calls

And I'm happy very with it. Glare is a problem but it's been a problem with every other double din touch screen radio I've used before as well.

So bluetooth torque and bluetooth handsfree working at the same time for you? Is the torque app your using is from the Asteriod market?

That is correct.

I've been using Torque from the Play Store. Installed Torque from Asteroid Market recently but it seems to be exactly the same unless I'm missing something

those USB at the back.. how do you use them if you mount the headunit

zoth · 01-23-2014, 03:43 PM

Just got mine today, will update. I will be using a USB OBDLink SX Scan Tool w/ torque.

Good luck, Android 2.3 and USB serial device are not friends.

I will buy a parrot double din and I was wondering... You said there is no radio? Like no AM and FM?

Does the torque app... Do I need to buy or connect something to see my engine performance

?

I think it was this one, but you're going to have to double check:

There is FM and AM but there is no CD/DVD player.

You'd need a mini ELM327 bluetooth dongle that plugs into your car's OBD port. They're very cheap on eBay.

There are better ones but this is good enough for my needs.
