This is the coolest thing ever on paper. I mean who wouldnt want all that functionality in a car?

The answer is you, 2 weeks after you fit it and the novelty runs out. Because day today nobody really uses apps in a car. You just want decent music/music library, a good navigation system and and a decent radio. Thats it. Other stuff, even DVD players etc, are just gimmicky **** you soon tire of.

Focus on the best solution for entertainment and nav. Thats all you need.

I agree, I'm looking for one that fits that spec now, but with Bluetooth also as I'm tired of my wife having a top of the range Parrot and me not having one!!

Couldnt agree more on DVD playback, not only is it going to be rare that you have time to sit around parked to watch a film but who even buys movies on DVD anymore or wants to keep a collection of DVDs in the car

Apps I cant really understand the need for, perhaps if you had kids and they could use apps on headrest mounted displays to play games and keep them entertained, wouldnt expect any current HU to do this and it'd probably be cheaper/simpler to just give them basic tablets

Location aware searching and street view I think would definately be useful, If im heading somewhere I havent been ill check street view to figure out where on the road it is and where I can park thats close by

You can do all that on your smartphone though, which is more powerful and has a better screen.
