All received and fitted, looks good and very pleased with the bluetooth.

Two question, is there any way to switch from CD to turner without having to press the button 5 time and then 3 more to go back to the CD. That's a bit of a poor design as it scrolls through pandora, aux, bt and all the other options. Also is there a mute without pressing the on off button or turning the volume down. I got very used to these and used them a lot on the factory stock model.

Whoops maybe I don't like the bluetooth, just went out again and bluetooth would not come on. Had to pair both again and it kept saying connected then 5 seconds later not connected. Took about 30 attempts to get the iPhone or radio to lock in !!!! Wonder what that is, not good if I go out and it doesn't pair.

I used mine with a droid RAZR maxx and my Samsung s5 and have not had pairing issues once I had them initially setup. (The rafio accepting the pairing). It always pairs by itself 5_20 seconds after I start the car.
This unit is supposed to be friendlyist with iPhone. I will do some checking on mine tomorrow

Seems to be working fine today, been in the car about 5 times and no problem. I recon it maybe that my phones battery was under 10% altho that shouldn't really cause a problem in my opinion. However after doing a search on Google it seems quite a few people say when battery is low they have bluetooth issues.

One other little thing I noticed today is the brightness of the display, even tho it is right up at 31, in daylight no mater what colour screen you use it is extremely hard to see the writing on the screen. The old factory stock one was very easy to read. Little bit picky re this and having to press the button so many times to move from turner to CD I know but thats what happens when you swap from one to another.
