When using BT audio (A2DP), you hear through the speakers whatever audio the phone is putting out - music or directions - and you also make phone calls through the speakers and mic. I haven't tried the AUX jack, but I assume same there. I also haven't tried the USB input. I'm pretty simple with radio use.

It would be nice if you could connect the phone by BT and then have the phone "override" radio or AUX or USB when active - so calls and directions would interrupt the radio. I don't think it does that. It would also be nice if backlight color was switchable or there were different models with different colors. But hey for $149 . . .

The only thing I actually don't like is that the radio automatically turns on when the car is turned on. Sometimes I'd rather start my drive in silence.
