yeah but i didnt feel like modifying that unit at all in case i put it back to stock, the newer pioneer units have a usb in the back that you can run the cable from so it looks cleaner than a wire coming out of the factory usb slot anyway

See, I want one that works with the built in USB/mic/aux. I was planning on waiting for the pioneer one that was previews on the 10 series FR-S, but I'm wondering if there are any other units that are plug and play?

Question on NAV radios. Does an aftermarket NAV install use the built-in GPS antenna (I assume there is one for the BeSpoke)?

Bespoke doesn't have nav, therefore no GPS antenna

I have seen the back of our radios, and none of them have a USB port, therefore will require and adaptor to plug right into that aux port on the dash.. I haven't pulled that panel off yet, but i imagine a USB cord and aux cord can be made to fit with minor modification, but I'll find out when I install this unit next week.. I'd like to keep that port just in case I ever need to charge or anything, but I bought the adaptor for the iPhone to connect to this 950nh..

In regards to the 10series radio, if the bespoke is being sold from 400$ and up.. You going to be paying a whole bunch for a ok radio.. I happen to love my bespoke, does everything I want it to.. But just moving to Las Vegas, and then finding out net10 unlimited data isn't really unlimited, I have to have a GPS source, and this head unit was a perfect fit.. I'm thinking you'll be paying 800+ for a 10series radio and for that price, you can get a lot more radio for the money aftermarket wise

Damn, I see the North Pole from searching is N90 and I was starting to think at 0:0 that @jonnyozero3 was Santa Claus.
