I guess I was thinking of streaming music. Seems like at this price point it should have it.

Oh, I saw. I didn't see an answer from Suncoast. They probably don't know the answer, but it would be nice if they took the time to answer our silly questions. ... maybe if enough people ask about it, word will get back to corporate and we will se a change at some point. That is all

According to what we have been told, it will stream bluetooth music.

I would get one if it did not the useless NAV. Built-in NAV makes no sense in the age of iPhone/Android and Google Maps.

Mine arrives tomorrow so I will be able to answer more factually. However I am having my 915 rebuilt currently so it will be two weeks before I install it. I will post real pictures of the unit this weekend.

Looks great.... except that funny looking extra USB port you have to mount someplace...
Why the heck didn't they put them on the front of the radio?

I guess you don't need to absolutely install the funky sub port?

Actually the " funny little port" is essential.

I will be writing a review soon on Pelican but will also add to this thread.

I will state now that the daughter port is brilliant as you have the option of a stealth install and placing it in your glovebox or if you want something hand in your console or elsewhere.

There were questions about connecting to aftermarket amps as it does not come with RCA termination. Simple fix, Ebay sells them 4 channel ones for 13 bucks.

The screen actually looks bigger in person than what you're seeing on your screens.

The manuals are detailed and quality is top notch as you would expect for 1200 bucks.

You can add XM for 56 dollars for the universal module plus subscription and all information displays. the only thing I wish it had is HD Radio but I knew that and understand I cant have everything.

This looks like a really slick unit, but I can barely see my 7" Nav.
Does the Nav have audio?

Indeed. I never use the Nav in my 991. Waze all the way...

I agree the "funny little post" (USB) is essential.... but why couldn't they have put one on the face of the unit? just poor design in my opinion....
Never really thought about the whole "stealth" installation... maybe in ashtray...hmmm...

Why is it essential if it has Bluetooth and Bluetooth streaming?

On my Becker Grand Prix I have the iPod cable going through the ashtray. It stays coiled in there since I don't smoke.

Because the sound quality of BT streaming sucks.
