Yes, you can accept and make calls over bluetooth easily. If you want to stream music from your phone over bluetooth you need to initiate the playing from your phone (there's no play button that i've found under the bluetooth menu, just phone options), but music will still play over bluetooth. The track forward and back buttons on the head unit work as well..

Theres a musical note symbol on the bluetooth phone screen. It switches you over to the music side. Has back/play/forward keys on it. Also has some visuals and equalizer on it.

So has anyone gotten the rearview working on the unit?

Is the rear USB, USB 2.0 or 3.0, could you hub it into more USB?

Does the OBDII only work through bluetooth or could you get a converter to feed it directly into the USB input?

Does it read flac files off of a flash drive or external hard drive through the USB?

according to Ca-Fi, Dashlinq4 support usb hub up to 4 port max, max speed is USB 2.

no idea for the rest, sorry!

regarding to changing the default program, here's the response from Ca-Fi

".....Can be improved by software update, but need to wait more feedback from the market and then make a improvement list for next version software...."

so it's a no for now.

Lack of XM doesn't bother me too much since I can use Pandora or something, but would love to know about HD radio, makes listening to talk radio or basketball games much better.

Anywhere that you have accessory power, so either the orange/black wire (which is where it's designed to go), or the red wire should work.
