Can you check to see if any of the temperatures repeat? I got the pre-release update and 73F and 82F repeat.

Yes, go to the US Flyaudio site and send an email.

I never actually use AM but I will check to see how reception is.

Does anyone know if you can get an aftermarket Satalite radio for this such as Vias auto? Will it interface with this unit?

I keep reading a lot of problems with this, but I really want one. Can an OEM nav unit be swapped in a non nav car or is this my only option?

Just got my Bios update from David over at Carlighttrends.com, and newest firmware has just about fixed the AC Temp values. The values are off by just a few degrees now, not like it was before when they where off by something like 25 degrees.

Now if anyone complains, I honestly would say that they are just WAY to picky. Its totally acceptable now!

Honestly I listen to web radio (Pandora, I hart Radio etc etc) As for terrestrial radio, the FM is fine AM is a little weak.

Aslong AM is audible im okay with that.

does anyone know how to get steering wheel buttons (phone button) to work on a IS without it.

do i just need to replace the circuit board and buttons with the phone button and it will work with fly audio? or is there something in-between like a headunit that needs to be changed as well

Since I live in a large metropolitan area I get good signal on both FM and AM. As for the steering wheel phone button my IS doesn't have one.

Contact the place where you got your FlyAudio unit, and see if they can get the new updated Bios Firmware. I can tell you that I'm even happier with my FlyAudio navigation unit now since I updated to the latest firmware.

I forgot to write this before, my steering wheel buttons have always worked with my FlyAudio Navigation with out any problems. Now It used too have a small amount of lag, but it got fixed after the newest update.
