You're right about the time showing correct in the Nav menu. I hope they fix the time on the menu screen with a software upgrade in the future!

I wish it was just the connection, but trust me I disconnected and connected it several times to make sure. It just doesn't have the same strength as the stock unit. I actually did some research online and found that the radio chip set is not as strong as some other radio brands. Like I said before, I live out in the boonies, so that has something to do with it as well. I went closer to downtown L.A. this weekend and I got all the radio stations with no problem. I wonder if there is some sort of radio signal amplifier thing that I can use so I can get a better signal.

Has anyone else noticed that the temperature range is off on the unit? It goes from around 90 to 110 degrees F on the FlyAudio unit.

Default Preamp outputs
Are there preamp outputs on the 2nd gen unit? If there are, I would totally be tempted to buy

NO....that's why my Stereo shop didn't like this unit too much.

It will only be a matter of time.....just how AT&T thought they could keep the Iphone on only their network. Huge percentage of Iphone owners are with T-mobile.

I wasn't a fan of the camera that FlyAudio supplies, so this is the camera I ended up buying...

Is this a backup camera or front view camera? It said, normal view, means that what you see on your screen is opposite of left or right.

Can the unit be used on RX350 as well? They look the same. I have factory installed NGV on my IS250. I am thinking to upgrade my RX350 with this unit.

This is the camera I'm using as well as a few others. It is cheap, looks oem, and works great.

So, you have this exact camera with normal view. I think you have to order this http://www.securitycamera2000.com/pr...ew-Camera.html to work for back up camera.

I'm not sure which exactly now, but that's the company and the same looking in the pic. It works fine for me. Night time is just ok, but it's dark. What do you expect?

So driving to Las Vegas over the weekend, the buildings showed up in iGo Primo . It even showed the Hilton that I was staying at.
