It just came out. Installer was on the phone with his supplier ordering the regular sized model. Guy told him the 10.1 was available for my truck.

there cheaper on ebay if you shop around, if you go the maestro website you can build the virtual system and it will tell you which modules you will need besides the RR, just write them down and look them up on ebay or amazon, when you get it then you have to program it on your computer and then have your installer wire it up

The installer is encouraging me not to use the RR. Says the car specific stuff lags and is unreliable. Apparently there is another way for me to keep the steering wheel control functionality and rear entertainment etc.

That seems strange, I haven't had a single issue with mine.

you can do navigation but only with your phone, no built in gps or the option to add one for when there is no cell signal, when kenwood releases there 10" it will have garmin gps built in

That pisses me off. Why would they not include Navi. Kenwood is coming out with 2 large screen units. One with Navi and one without.

To stay at a competitive one point would be my guess and that car play and Android auto is an option a lot will not choose nav anymore.
