I just installed my unit this weekend with the Bluetooth adapter. Best improvement for the Bluetooth is that it now autoconnects with motorola phones. My DEH-P980BT was unable to do this. Otherwise, the connectivity appears to be same with my RAZR. Nice unit.

Just easier way for some to change buttons to amber. I originally used yellow as i saw your post, Chapman. I didnt really read the manual either just played with the menus messed with the hue chart and then later found Dash illum. and amber matched better than my hue chart attemps. I hate tapping the touch screen constantly in order to scroll, that sux. When my 80gb ipod comes in i'm sure that will suck and no search sucks but as mentioned playlist will have to be made.

It could be possible that earlier hardware didn't have the ability to read the sub-channel data. Or I could be totally wrong about what he meant by 'multicast'.
