Default Headunit question

Hey guys, I am thinking about ditching the factory radio. I'm sure not a lot of people have don it, but I'm having issues with the touch screen, and am really tired of the fact that I can't bluetooth music (though phone calls are okay). Also outdate navi makes it kinda meh, as well too.

I was looking at the flyaudio units, seems pretty nice, but there's a disclaimer saying it doesn't fit the navi-equipped cars. Anyone know the difference?

You know there is a head phone jack in the glove box, this is how I jam. I'm happy with the ML system and factory setup

Yeah, I know, but for a car of this caliber, you would think they would have figured that's what people would want. I think they realized it was an issue because 2009 (or 2010's?) can stream audio

2011+ for sure can stream Bluetooth. I thought a lot of members have some gizmo plugged in that let them stream.

Problem is going to a different headunit is very difficult. Considering the climate, audio and other functions are all integrated into it. Granted the updated navi isn't all that great especially for 100+ for the disc if i remember correctly. If bluetooth is holding you back the most, liquidtek has a great solution ^^^^
