It can spin, buttons can't do that.

Otherwise, nothing.

Ok, another question (sorry), can you get text messages to pop up on the HU screen if they're sent to your paired phone?

If it's not natively supported, there are Android apps that do this, but only if you have an Android phone.

Well I have an Android phone so that's good enough for me, looks like I'll be getting this, selling my HU to a local FRS owner/friend tomorrow, then I'll order this sucker.
