I'm resisting the urge to tease you about a radio with a tape deck... .

For me, CarPlay has replaced all of the above.

The nav on a phone is much better than the nav on any car stereo anywhere ever. With CP/AA, it's right there on the LCD. Killer feature. When I'm concerned about cell coverage, I just download maps ahead of time.

FWIW, the 9" radio has a GPS and can run Android apps natively. It also has provisions for a SIM card so you can get live maps. I've been using Gaia on it (which stores maps locally). I've not tried Google Maps but I'm sure it would work as well.

The FM tuner works great, but no HD. No CD player (no tape deck or 8 track either ), and no XM (the sub is HOW MUCH?).

Spotify/Apple Music/Podcasts/Audio Books/etc are so much better for me.

My 2 cents.


edit: My biggest complaint about the unit is that the mic isn't great. It works fine for voice commands - I can tell it to nav to a location, even with music playing, and it works great. However it isn't the best for phone calls. This might be fixed if I relocate the external mic, but I really don't want to pull the dash apart right now. I tend to switch to a pair of airpods if I have to talk while driving.
