I see that you are interested in the HU for the NAV capability. I too, was excited for that option. Now, not so much. Here's why: Unless you opt for the cellular connection, you have to use offline maps. This is okay if you live in an area that has a large area covered under one "offline area" through Google Maps. Being in SB, you may have a large area covered. IDK? If not, the area that you DL must be updated every month or so. This just requires you are connected to the internet for the update. It's probably not an issue or chore for most, it just is for me. And if you will be using it for calls while on the road, GET THE EXTERNAL MIC! Not sure if all of the Xtrons units are the same, but the internal mic really sucks on mine. Good luck!

That's what I do on my android unit. Couldn't imagine not having it tethered. Great for podcasts, youtube, music streaming, etc.

Do you use the hotspot for NAV?

I use Waze for nav because of the real time traffic info that helps steer clear of problems when possible. It's available from the playstore for free. I've also got Pandora on there for Music and Podcasts that I run from the phone wifi hotspot. |

Thanks for all the tips. I plan on getting an external mic (probably mount it at the top of the A-pillar as that looks easier to get to than the center overhead light). The Avin is quite a bit more than the Xtron by the time you add the PX6 processor and "nav bracket". If it's really better that's okay, but other than processor these things appear pretty similar to me. Am I right?

If you're looking for a backup camera, I'd suggest this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It looks very OEM when installed. It does require drilling but the end results are clean, OEM looks and perfect vision.
