This may be a stupid question, so I apologize in advance, but do you need an android device to sync this with your phone, or is it compatible with an Iphone?

yes it does come with a factory android navigation. You can also download any navigation and set it to youe default navigation.

backup camera doesn't work at this time due to our camera being so obsolete. But you can add any updated camera and it will work. Thats what im going to do anyways since our camera is so low quality resolution.

Default 2010 w/ Mark Levinson

I contacted customer support for this replacement HU regarding compatibility for the 2010 model GS 350 with Mark Levinson upgrade system. ( Kudos for their lightning fast response! )
The representative said that for the 2010 with ML, this unit IS compatible with the stock ML amplifier setup.

However, the Phoenix system is NOT compatible with the stock backup camera.

Just thought I'd post for anyone who is interested. (I'm now on the fence because of the backup camera, though seems like a worthy tech upgrade otherwise... )

yep that is correct as i mention this above earlier today. The backup won't work bc our camera is so obsolete and its junk quality.

i will be ordering a hd infrared backup camera.

Subscribed! Keep us posted as you test the unit and its capabilities over the next few weeks. How will future major Android releases be handled? The one thing I've always disliked about Android is the "fragmentation" of the OS. Every OEM builds their own version and then hold you hostage for future OS releases.

I wouldn't hold your breath for future Android updates. Small manufacture rarely updates their tablets. The only company I've seen updating their tablet OS is Samsung. Android radio is not new. They have been on the market for quite some time.
