Raxiom Unit in the Works?

[brandonsmash]

For me, I don't like Sync. I hate talking to machines (you should see me when I have to call a company that uses a voice IVR). Sync is buggy and requires me to pull the battery lead every 6 weeks or so.

Sync does stupid things like not displaying current play time on a podcast (seriously, it's nice to know that my episode of Hardcore History is 4 hours 36 minutes long, but what's my progress?) and generally being fussy when switching between media. There's no native support for Pandora, and there's no master volume or EQ settings (for some reason audio over Bluetooth plays about 9dB quieter than the radio, so when Sync decides to start up with the radio on it's LOUD).

Yes, I'd like to ditch Sync. It's buggy and poorly thought-out and poorly implemented. I've never used the CD player in my Mustang and wouldn't mind sacrificing that if more space were to be had.

I've never had an issue with SYNC, but I also don't use Apple products, and SYNC is a Microsoft product.

I have a device from pretty much the top 3, Android, Apple, and Microsoft. None of them are flawless with Sync. It'll lose connection with anything at some point lol.
I mainly use the iPod for music since I like the playlist handling, and absolutely love the 6th generation nano for some reason

If the damn thing can't even handle something as basic as playing a CD without freezing up, or occasionally deciding to not show a song title when it did a few days before, I don't trust it in the slightest anymore to be reliable.

Total agreement here!!

If it looks anything like this I will be the first to order. I would have to argue that to some extent this bezel looks excellent!

^^Looks very clean, fingers crossed for a good price!!

I am going to guess its going to be between $500-$800.

If its any more than that they will have difficulty selling cause people could do an MFT swap for under $400 anyway.

What's that picture of? Is that a Ford picture showing off SYNC3?

No. That is the picture of the new rosen unit.

Looks great!

Any confirmation on google drive/apple car play functionality? Are these units even able to implement it?

 

[likeaboss]

I wonder if they'll make a bezel for the GT350 with a dull finish? Crossing my fingers this thing has Android Auto and Apple Car Play.

I wonder if American Muscle will sell them or they will sell direct

Most likely it will be American Muscle for the Raxiom stuff. I think they have an agreement with AM. But, Rosen may sell on their own.

I wish we could just get a price on this unit so I can make a decision on what option I am going to go with!
