Okay, thank you for clarifying the capabilities of the nav tool. I better keep the beat sonic coming my way due to the additional functionality...

The Beatsonic goes in the front and interfaces your head unit with your existing wiring. The Navtool goes in the back and interfaces with the wiring at the Nav Unit. Hope this clears it up a bit.

I just chated with NavTool.. They are sold out of the new units with mirroring capability and won't be shipping until September.

Price is currently $399 but they will exchange for old unit if I send them an email after I install the one I am scheduled to receive tomorrow. Don't know exchange price yet.

The unit may take a more interior disassembly because you need to run the hard wire cable for the iPhone to the front.

The new pioneer head unit will interface with apple or android.

LoL, we failed to communicate effectively from the beginning, because the new head unit was mentioned at least twice...not a big deal.

I did post a link for the new head unit.

The old head unit is okay but very limited and the new head unit will look very nice with the existing GPS Screen, IMO
