I am looking at a getting a new stereo for my pickup. It looks like streaming pandora from BT or even the aux jack works on most but I want to also see my google maps and nav from my phone on my car stereo is there a player that does this? everything is iphone ready of course. I have a droid razr maxx

I went with the pioneer, I mostly like to stream Pandora, its very buggy but doable, I have to set it to Bluetooth audio then Pandora, it works ok, but takes monkeying around all the time. the usb cable I have not spent much time with yet, but it thinks my android is just a shuttle device.

Did you ever check Crutchfield? My Alpine CDE 147BT has a Pandora mode. Works good with my S3. It's a single Din.
