Nope, just found the info on their site. Sounds like a good idea, but I'll stick with my Kenwood DAB+ head unit. Besides I don't have a smart phone.

So every time you update your phone, you have to buy a new faceplate to fit? .... Or am I missing something?

Bluetooth streaming works fine for me for now. But will be interesting to watch where this goes.

Cool idea but when you think about it every time you decide to update your phone you'll also need to update the head unit to suit.
Unless you can replace just the fascia but then they might not make one to suit your next phone or they decide to close up.

Seems like a costly exercise IMO

Its 1/5th of the price of any comparably featured headunit so...

Its about 400 bucks depending if you get the plastic or cnc alloy front and it does everything your smartphone can do, but works like a headunit in that it has a radio and amp and preouts and never goes flat.
