while being a Camry the best thing is the bluetooth streaming of music - don't care for the SAT radio in the wagon - sounds tinny.

For real. Searching YouTube is like looking for a needle in a haystack in a hurricane. So much garbage to sift through and it's only going to get worse.

Revived from the dead!
So I finally purchased an E63 AMG and found a lack of audio options for the car that fits my needs. Anyone actually purchase this? I did and it should be here shortly for me to install.
I'm very interested in the direct USB playing from an Android device and FLAC support.

Reviving a old thread:
Looking for user feedback on GROM with the Bluetooth option. How well does the phone functions integrate with the MB headunit controls? Does the numeric keypad work? Do your contacts show up in the headunit? I have a 05 E320 CDI with Harmon Kardon, NAV and CD changer. No bluetooth or vehicle prewire. I would like to keep the original headunit since it offers full control of the audio.
There are may threads discussing the Android radios. The headunits are similar to phone and allow the installation of apps. Features such as back camera and active tire pressure monitoring can be added. The main drawback I see is a limited interface to the vehicles audio hardware. The front/rear fade and auto modes are no longer accessible.
For and E-class the third option would be upgrading to to a NTG2.5 hardware. This requires vehicle level coding and all audio modules/headunit are replaced. Additionally new wiring and fiber cable is required. Also the most expensive.

if you have an Aux in...buy a bluetooth dongle. if you have an iPod interface, buy a compatible bluetooth dongle.
don't waste your time or money on the Grom unit.
