That's not $300, that's closer to $400. I have the top of the line version and like it so far. You need to get the adapter to have AA or AC work on it though. Still waiting for my adapter.
Well, $350 and I like having my ac dials. I won't be getting rid of the ac unit. The Phoenix is a complete plug and play. The Phoenix isn't those Tesla style head units. Plus, this is just a temp fix to get rid of the annoying oem head unit.
The Phoenix has the option of the Tesla style or the large screen. Stay away from the Tesla. Someone already tried one and it was buggy as hell. I plugged mine in and didn't even have to do any setting changes to get it to work with the steering wheel controls.
Shank, which civic do you have? I was interested in changing out the stock HU on my 2017 EX-T, but I fear for the climate control, since it's all done through the HU on the EX-T. Also, when you say you have the top-of-the-line one, does that mean you have the Phoenix, or another model? Just curious, thanks!
Phoenix has a video on their site of it working properly, but I fear that it might not truly be plug-and-play. I've fought enough of these battles on prior cars, and I'm not ready to start another, ya know?
Yeah they do have a video showing the head unit working with a higher trim (EX or above). However most of the individuals that have this unit are trying to upgrade out of the boring LX / Sport head unit, so there's not much information on compatibility outside of those trims.
Yeah I'm cool with the dongle for AA; I'd rather use that than mess with MirrorCast. But SiriusXM is a deal-breaker for me. I use that religiously; much more than BT streaming. I know there's a separate module (SiriusXM Commander Touch) that I didn't even know existed, but space is at an absolute premium in the coupe and I'd rather not have anything external if I can help it.
