    Very cool Dave! So your deck doesn't have a built in GPS but you can use an GPS app? I guess that would make the deck cheaper because there is no built in GPS?

    It does have a built-in GPS antenna so it uses the APP for mapping and then using your cell data and the built-in GPS antenna you have 99.9% GPS accuracy because it's using two connections.

    What came in the box? Would just buying the app radio be enough to mount it up in 2011 or do I need extra parts?

    I'll send you a PM with pricing on those parts so that you have an idea of what it would cost.

    The only thing I can tell you after using both of them you want the App Radio 2 not the App radio 1

    The App Radio 2 has more system expansion capabilities with 2 RCA pre outs and 7" screen.

    I understand budgets but for $500 plus a free App you have system that's comparable to any premium navigation system.

    Remember this was made for iPhone customers and if you love the iPhone you'll love this deck.

    I've been shopping around and I'm not getting them quite yet, but from looking around teh cheapest I've found the APPRadio2 for is $400 + shipping. That's pretty good for what I'm aiming at. I'm not concerned about the output since I dont PLAN on putting in any additional speakers/setups, but then again I never planned on buying a 2011 Mazda 3 to begin with.

    I suggest going with the DA-100
    The DA-02 is cheaper but does have less features and for the amount of difference in price, the extra screen size is worth it alone.

    I'm dropping one in my car after work today. If anyone would like to see one in action, you just have to come out to a meet that I will be at, that the weather is good. I won't be out with it, in the rain

    That thing looks super slick.

    How customizable is the home screen? I wouldn't have any use for Pandora, but might want to put something else like Rdio or the CBC radio app in that slot.

    Can't do any customization with home screen, for pas like Rdio you have to access them in the apps screen.

    RDIO is pretty sweet but is accessed through the app screen.

    Updates may change that but really it's one swipe away.

    He sold the SPH-DA100?

    Why it's the newest one available.

    I think he was selling the X930BT
