• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Just wondering if anybody out there has done a upgrade on your sound system? Not very happy with mine sounds like crap. I like my tunes loud and rockin I’ve heard just using a iPod or phone works better any thoughts.

I use Apple Music through the Aux input. I stream it through a Bluetooth receiver from my phone. The cord in the trunk has an intermittent connection issue that I need to take care of but it works.

Here are some pics of the Bluetooth adapter that I plug into in aux input. Nice because I can use it in the boat and the 4 wheeler too. TaoTronics TT-BA07

Now I think your talking along the line of comparing Huawei to Samsung. There are better components than stock out there. As far as quality of sound I think you have to start with the speakers.

Does this BT adapter have sufficient output to full drive the Aux input? The ont that we use requires ~80% level on the Spyder to provide volume levels equal to ~30% on the radio. At this gain my RTL seems to be distorting. Also, is this USB powered? I love that about mine as it auto-boots when the piwer comes on. Just needs more output power.
 
I don’t think I lose anything as far as volume level, then again I seldom go over half. The one pic doesn’t show it clearly, but there is a USB mini charge port by the switch. A full charge will last the whole day, and it can be plugged in if needed. It’s only about 20 bucks, so might be worth a try.
