Well I almost had the headunit for a full year!

I would up my rating to 8/10. Only because honestly for the most part the headunit at this point "paid for itself".

I do have a couple questions and maybe someone can chime in and suggest something.

1.) Apple Car Play - The black box + AutoPlay App, this being a android unit, is there an alternative app or box on amazon that's better? I keep noticing that sometimes my apple car play apps get choppy or don't run smooth. My assumption is that the black box receiver or whatever... is just old tech. I'm wondering if there is something on Amazon that works better and is newer?

1.1) Maybe I should give up on Apple Car Play? Its nice having everything in one place vs. skipping through apps/screens.

2.) People complain they hear themselves during calls. I have tried lowering the volume on the headunit during calls, and it sort of works, but then I have the issue of not being able to hear much out of the speakers. I did recently have a few people complain they cant hear me well so I had to adjust myself and speak louder. My car originally came with NAV and blutooth. I did disconnect the blutooth module from the car harness. I figured since the radio has a mic and blutooth, I wont need that module to be plugged in and it would save me the common issue of the module draining the battery. Anyway, should I just get an external mic from Amazon for the $10-$15 or are there settings I need to adjust?
