I'm looking for a nice unit to replace my stock '06. Needs to have speakerphone and the ability to mirror my Galaxy S7. It would be nice to be able to hook up a back up camera. I'm not brand sensitive at all - good thing since I don't want to spend too much either. I plan on installing it myself as well.
Nope - just starting out on this I do know that if it requires an MHL connection, that my phone doesn't have that.
Newer hardware seems to be heading the android auto route, so you can probably find better deals on mirrorlink enabled units. That said, android auto will likely be easier to grow with. Here's a quick and mostly still accurate rundown of the differences: https://blog.noser.com/android-auto-vs-apple-carplay-vs-mirrorlink/ looks like the s7 is mirrorlink1.1 compatible. (Long) List of 1.1 compatible headunits can be searched here: https://cert.mirrorlink.com/ProductListing/ Short list of Android Auto heaunits: https://www.crutchfield.com/g_300/All-Car-Stereos.html#&nvpair=AG_Android_Control|FFAndroid_Auto Edit: re: backup camera... pretty much every modern screen will have that as a standard feature.

Have not used it much other then playing with it in the garage but everything moves very smoothly and sounds great even with the stock speakers.

wow, looks like i can get it here (https://store.bfridaystore.com/prod...=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&variant=28934453640) for a lot less. thanks for the recommendation
Let me know how the transaction goes. Im always Leary of back water websites (maybe this one isn't and I've just never heard of it?)
I don't know much about this one but dude on youtube had it and it look sweet if you want to check it out the link is https://www.aliexpress.com/item/9-Q...PS-Navigation-for-Subaru-WRX/32717191246.html
True but it is an android product and it mirrors your phone. thought i would through it out for suggestion.
According to Cruchfeild the 4100 is both android auto and apple carplay compatible. The 4100 does have mirror link where the 4200 does not. Other then that not finding alot of differences in specs between the two.
sorry i forgot i have the 4000 apparently someone made a firmware update to accept android auto on the 4000 im hesitent to pay the 40 for the update but would be cool it if works
