it uses the Nav off my Iphone through the radio touch screen as well as lets me stream netflix through it for movies. Didn't get it for the movies though! There are enough distractions while driving. This set-up was a third of the cost and does eveything that I want/need. so it's not pointless to me!!!

Who ever did the install did a very good job. Something about an aftermarket radio in a TL just doesn't look right though. I think its because it sits to low.

Fireman, sorry the radio didn't make it.

They are actually SSM to match the exterior color of the car!
