I've had two different Kenwood Excelons and hated them both. I can't seem to find anything that looks as good as the Porsche unit while duplicating its functionality.

With regard to wanting to hear flat-six noise, that's all well and good for a fun drive, but I daily drive my car. I really do like the added functionality of a well integrated stereo system.
The nav is goofy. My Google maps is light years better.
The screen layout sucks.
It's hard to read, and the fonts are small.
They give you a stylus to enter in your selections. Seriously?
It doesn't auto pair with my phone.
It doesn't have Pandora or iheartradio control. You can plug your phone into the USB port but it doesn't do anything but slow charge the phone.
The song data is hard to read.
The phone control on screen buttons are tiny and hard to read.
The Bluetooth phone quality is terrible.
The USB port flat side puts the writing on the ports upside down if you mount the flat side under the dash.
There's a horrible beeping noise when you make selections that is incredibly loud. I'm hoping there is a way to turn that down as it's obnoxious.
No traditional rca outputs.
No sub out or sub control.
Limited audio control, basically base, mid, and treble.

As you can tell, I don't like this radio. It's a riddiculous product at this price point. This should be a 300 dollar radio at best..

Only saving grace is that it may add value to my car as a genuine Porsche product.
