Great video (and the original one showing how you installed the unit). Question: when you istalled the microphone, were you able to hide 100% of the wire behind the panels, or is it visible, running at the perimeter of the windshield? A video on how you did that would be very helpful. Thanks!

My default stereo can set up the system time (which is shown on a separate display) and a couple of system functions (for example, the follow-me-home lights). Do you know if this stereo can do the same? If I switch mine to this one will I need to temporarily install the old one once every 6 months to adjust the daylight saving time? I see that the stereo itself shows the time but as I'm going to have the built-in display anyway I'd like the clocks to be synchronised. The built-in display is somehow connected to the stereo, e.g. it shows the currently played music, but it also shows some car settings / messages like "top up engine oil level" that definitely don't come from the stereo, so I have no idea how this display is going to work with a custom stereo.

The latest update from April (1.02.07) doesn't get rid of the CYA message, but it only shows up for a few seconds then goes away on it's own. No need to push the button any more. EDIT: I just watched your video on how to get rid of the screen, but the above update is not from a third part giving out beta versions (nothing wrong with those except the risk. I used one of those to get Waze early). This is the official release of the 1.02.07 version direct from Sony.

I can't turn off the display of the smartphone, or turns off also the radio. Android Auto is the very advantage. And, product by product, Pioneer doesn't offer anything at this level. They are way more expensive. The NEX series is great, but offers so many features i dont use. Actually I'm interested on this stereo. It has no competitors at this price.
