After purchasing and returning several "budget-minded-ly priced" navigation head units that were either poorly made or lacking in features, I came upon this unit and found a "keeper". At a price point much lower than most comparable built-in GPS units, this one boasts enough features to give you a lot of bang for your buck. It’s not perfect, but if you want perfect you’re shopping the wrong price point.
*All sync comments are based on connection with my Samsung Galaxy Mega.
Cons:
-Syncs contact list in numerical order by phone number, not alphabetically by name. Yep, that’s how they decided to organize it, in a way that no phone on the planet would ever organize it, making it virtually useless in this day and age of "if I could remember somebody’s phone number I wouldn’t need to look them up, now would I?" Not the end of the world, but completely useless.
-You cannot carry on a bluetooth phone conversation and display navigation at the same time, nor does it give audible direction while on a phone call. This is really annoying when you’re at that crucial "last few turns" moment and your girlfriend calls you crying about her lip gloss or a kitten she saw online or whatever they think your life should halt for and you wind up missing your turn. The silver lining for this is that it will teach you to be more comfortable with sending people to voicemail.
-Call logs are not actually synced, they are established through use of the head unit, and only retained since the last time the unit was powered on. This means that your log only shows the calls you’ve made on this trip, and it only shows the phone number you dialed, not the name of the contact. The "Received Calls" log has never populated for me….
