Same here...Just ordered a 128GB flash drive to use with it too, since the SDCard is limited to 32GB.

Maybe the OP will know...I have asked CaFi via email and the responces have been...less than direct.

Say if I was planning on wiring hand controls into the steering wheel (I already have a thread where I was working on it for the stock head unit) but an android system has peaked my interest. Does anyone have an idea or proof of make/model/generic steering wheel controls that would work with this system?

Wasn't there a thread a while back about someone doing this with the stock head unit and steering wheel controls from a WRX or something like that?

Ha, maybe you saw my post in one of those threads, the new WRX wheel looks identical to ours but with controls. Too bad new steering wheels are expensive, maybe if someone parts a new WRX out.....

Yea we found that the stock 08-12 Impreza and the STi hand controls are compatible but...you can not find them anywhere.

If this unit is more universal than the stock HU then that is another reason to buy it.

Just have to ask - lightning connector-equipped iOS devices will be compatible with this HU, right? Another thing I'd want to do is run a hidden USB cable from the back of the HU to the glovebox. I don't like having stuff in plain sight.

and if not, I can use a flash drive and run Spotify off of the HU?

I know the answer to the last 2 is yes, I'm android but running a usb extension into the glove where I'm putting my 256gb flash drive.

I think Lightning devices will work with an adapter, but you have to be very careful that the adapter you are buying supports audio. Many/most third party ones don't, and Apple's is $30. I grabbed a one for I think $7 the other day that hasn't come in yet. Says it supports audio. Will report back if you'd like.

Doubtful, even if a USB CD drive worked, you'd have to come up with a pretty slick mounting system to avoid skipping. Not worth the hassle. If a CD drive is a must then I'd recommend one of the other android head units that has one included.

Same question, but with my 8-Track. Just got Tommy by the Who.
