There are "buttons", but they're touch, not a physical switch.
If you hold down 'volume down' for a second it mutes. Still... I miss the best volume interface ever invented. A simple radial knob... Quote:

Yeah I'd sacrifice a bit of aesthetics for functionality.
My Alpine mic is mounted at the top of the a-pillar and my conversations with Siri are less than stellar. Would be great if there was a diagnostic mode on the deck to test different locations. Might be worth hooking up to a decent sound recorder and doing a bunch of test runs..... |

First off, love this receiver! Quick question. Can you still text from the phone itself when connected to the headunit?

Yes. This head unit is awesome, And the audio quality is really high, even with original speakers.

CarPlay does not lock down your phone. You can still get to everything on the phone. This applies to any CarPlay enabled radio.

Cafi doesn't really "mirror" your android phone (and consequently your iPhone either), it is a standalone android installation. I am sure there are apps out there that could facilitate piping your iphone view/functionality to the unit, though.
