After a very easy and issue free installation, I am very happy with the product.
- It looks great.
- It connected to my phone immediately and does consistently without issue. I curse my wife's A7 that seems to have a personal vendetta against my phone and even when it does connect, it does not read my playlists well in my iphone. The classic nav has connected flawlessly to date and I actually find that navigating through my tunes and playlists is easier than my other cars.
- The bluetooth/phone connection works as well as any I have used and the fact that I can have a normal conversation in my loud cockpit (its a cab) without people asking me if I'm under water is more than I anticipated. The bluetooth is good.
- I have not actually entered anything into the Nav yet, but I have used it to verify where some streets are in relation to where I am. I typically use my iphone for nav in the past as well, but I can see some benefits to having a screen right there in front of me at all times and there is not that much size difference between my phone and the classic nav screen either.
I agree that the price is high, but I would recommend it anyway.

Your iPhone and Porsche classic screen are almost the same size? Are you using an iPhone from 19 years ago? Lol. The Porsche classic is 3.5 inches if I'm not mistaken. Tiny.
I think your friends are just being polite if no one asks if you're you're on a car blue tooth system when you speak to them over the Porsche classic system. My guess is that it's pretty painfully obvious where you're calling from and you obviously aren't going to likely change the handset if you're shifting gears so they don't bother bringing it up.
You may have a different experience with an iPhone with an android regarding music and scrolling. Either way, between the size of the screen and the font selection and the location of the unit, it's very hard to read. At least at my old age of 46 lol.
I really wanted to like this radio but even the system in my daily vw golf blows it away for functionality.
I'm curious to know if it was Becker or blaupunkt who made the radio. Either way, nether are particularly reputable for making awesome audio equipment which is why I guess we have this overpriced steaming pile of mediocrity....
