Made my ride home from Tahoe last night much more enjoyable.
I've got a Verizon iPhone 6S with unlimited 4G LTE data and Wifi Hotspot. Tethering between the GA5166F is easy and works like a charm.
I keep a lot of offline music on Spotify on my phone to free up the data connection. No issues with the bluetooth pairing or connection between my iPhone and the GA5166F. Steering wheel controls work perfectly to skip through the tracks. I'm glad I got the quad core CPU 16GB unit if you are doing something intensive like installing apps or something the audio can "skip" for a second. I can only image how much worse this would be on a dual core CPU tablet.
I loaded up Waze on my phone so I have the police warning announcements and audible directions in the background. This keeps the main 7" screen on the Eonon head unit available for playing.
My favorites so far would be ESPN, Sling TV, Slingbox, and HBOGO for stuff to have on for watching in the background. I like listening to news and sports on the TuneIn radio app too. Makes for a much better driving experience.
I haven't connected and mounted the GPS antenna yet so location based apps (i.e. weather channel, etc...) aren't working.
Haven't messed with Torque yet but i'm sure it will work well with my bluetooth OBDII dongle (it did on my Samsung Galaxy Note II). I'll probably buy the PRO version for $5.
Possibilities are endless - wish I had this years ago!! Brings the X5 tech into the 2010's and beyond! Even my dads Audi A7 doesn't have touchscreen!
