Not to mention that records (LPs) warp in the summer if you leave them on your Technic1200 you rigged up in the back seat. We all know records are the 1 true physical media for listening to music.

Does this thing have only white backlight? No optionality? Lack of red backlight is the only thing which stops me from ordering immediately

Yes, only white. Is this really such a big deal? o_O

Maybe there's a way to turn the lights off? I'm not entirely sure. I like them.

Seems really nit-picky, especially since a lot of other HUs (other android ones come to mind) are only one color that are not as universal, like green or blue....

Just got mine today. Anyone know if I can reuse the existing GPS antenna, or do I need to install it? As far as I can tell, it didn't come with instructions.

I just left the stock one where it is and put the Ca-Fi one next to it. It's magnetic, so it is super easy to install. Didn't even look at the stock GPS cable to see if it would fit the Ca-Fi.

Nice! Let us know if you need any help.

I'm enjoying mine more and more every day. Definitely beats my old Nexus installation. Way less trouble, more functionality!

How long did it take you guys to get it shipped from when you ordered it? I ordered mine last Friday the 25th and I haven't heard anything back yet.

I'm super excited. Starting to feel the antsiness creep in.

It's progressively taking them longer and longer to ship. The first people in this thread had theirs shipped in 2-4 days. Mine was shipped after a week or so.

If you turn off the headlight option the backlight won't turn on as I recall

Why bother. It does everything you'd ever need in a car out of the box. All youd do is make it less stable, and that's a horrible thing to have when it's in the car

Numerous legitimate reasons were outlined above.
