It is in the A2DP app. Initially the stream was choppy but in a couple minutes it got really good.

Really?? Hrm this I must try out later on and see if that was the solution the entire time...

Yeah, I figured it out after looking at their Ad copy and the A2DP image is where they talk about their BT 4.0 benefits so I went to that screen last night and it was the jackpot!

Of course, this was after my phone was paired and connected.

Just tried it out now and SOB it works!

I owe you a beer.

Guess I get one for the X5 now. And prolly one for the E39 since my DSP took a crap last night and now I have nothing

I love it when a plan comes together!

Got the rest of the rear hatch back together and took some time to explore the GA6166 today. In general:

WiFi and hot spot reception remain good

I'm loving the browser app which will let me pull in weather radar during trips (and whatever else folks would like to see off the web in a bigger than phone screen).

Downloaded and installed Spotify into the machine's memory and the interface is, IMHO, nicer than the hidden phone screen or using the A2DP app.

Button backlighting on the GA6166 is, to my eye, spot on with the factory color backlighting.

The rear camera, after a successful test boot up prior to install, is not showing an image on the unit. The GA6166 does NOT have a trigger wire for the rear camera activation so it must be picking up on the video signal coming into the rear camera video in. My unit goes into rear camera mode and shuts anything going on in the unit down. I got some flashes of grid lines, then another time I got a green screen then another time I got sporadic color bars. Weird stuff. Tomorrow I'll try the camera that came with the unit to see if the camera I installed died of infant mortality or what.

I did not detect any noticeable alternator whine at my listening volumes and about 10 on the unit's volume scale is plenty for me.

Overall, I think this is a phenomenal value/feature set for under $300
