[QUOTE="Syscrush, post: 8303105, member: 662581"] Hi all. I've never really been part of the car audio scene... My brother and I built some speaker enclosures for our cars back in the 90's, and I did installs for friends and family back then, but it was all simple/budget stuff. In the 20 years since I've been mostly on motorcycles or in RX-7s that were too loud to hear the stereo anyhow, but I recently bought a car for the first time in a long time. It's a 2011 Mazda2 GS. The stereo isn't great, but for my use it's not bad. Still, I'd like something better. My requirements are: 1. Fit in the stock dash, which means double-DIN. 2. Biggest video screen that will actually fit. 3. Back-up camera. 4. FM and XM radio. 5. Quick/easy (preferably 1-2 touch) swapping between EQ presets (basically just 1 for talk and 1 for music). 6. Retain use of my stock steering wheel controls (volume up/down, tuner up/down, mute, and mode). 7. Integration with my Moto-X phone. This phone does not have HDMI out via cable, but does have miracast. [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=7"]#7[/URL] is where things get tricky, I think. Let me define what "integration" means to me: 7.1. Ability to use Google Maps or Waze via the in-dash touchscreen and/or voice commands. 7.2. Ability to listen to audio from the HU (FM, XM, or media like CD) while showing a navigation app. Ideally turn-by-turn directions from the nav app would interrupt the HU audio. 7.3. No need to root the phone or install anything that runs as administrator/superuser. 7.4. Simple startup process: I just want to get in the car and turn it on. Plugging the phone into a USB cable or cradle is OK, but I really don't want to have to go to the phone or HU to do any setup/config, or launch apps just to establish the communication. 7.5 Ability to take and place calls via voice commands at any time. Is there any hope for making this work? I was pretty interested in the Pioneer Appradio systems, but it appears that if I go that route, I can't listen to HU audio while using the phone's NAV app. Also, when I was trying to find AR3 stuff working via miracast, I kept finding people using Appradio Unchained and Tasker to get stuff working even passably, using phones that had been rooted, and/or ARU running as superuser. I would be open to doing an install that uses a faceless amp and an android tablet if that's my best route to getting what I want. I was thinking that maybe I could find an XM/FM tuner module that could be connected to the tablet or phone via USB and controlled from the tablet, but I haven't been able to find anything like that that works in Canada/US. Any pointers on how to get this to work would be very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
