Did you retain all of the car settings and functionality with this headunit?
Take a look at the 3rd post, I explain what isn't retained, most settings and functions are retained.

I really appreciate your updates. I've been debating whether or not I want to do this.
My pleasure. People should know what they are getting into when you get one of these.

Still into it. Probably going to make the leap with this unit. I think I'll miss the volume knob too and saw a couple nice 8in models with more hardware buttons but as long as the steering wheel control still works I should be ok. I use my Bluetooth phone often though.
I saw your comments on issues with Bluetooth audio, do you find the Bluetooth audio quality to be poor enough that this would be a bad idea even for phone calls?
What about the MODE button? I'm considering upgrading to the new ones mainly because the old quad-core one I have is slow especially with Google Maps and doesn't natively support USB audio.
Would love to just ditch the oem head unit as well while doing the upgrade.
The oem camera works. The oem microphone doesn't, but it comes with it's own external microphone that you have to find a place to mount at. The oem mic is better (much better) but if you mount the external mic somewhere close it will be OK. I mount it at the top of the driver-side A-pillar near the windshield pointing at the driver. Discreet enough and the other side of the conversation never complains about audio quality or noise.
The mode button (driver profile / dcc) will not work, you change the mode by going through some menus in a "car settings" app.
Is there an obvious reason why car OEM microphone doesn't work? It sounds so silly ...
Any idea the voltage on the rca outs?
