You may have to side load the apps you are looking to use. As far as XM, you would have to use the line in on the back of the Smart, currently there is no XM box for the Smart. You would have to control XM from the XM device directly.

Sure, assuming your podcast app supports the Gingerbread version of Android. I'm personally using Waze and Pandora concurrently quite often and it works fine, and it's definitely possible to side-load the Google framework and marketplace stuff once you've rooted the device (which is a requirement for the Google stuff). As for Sirius...plug your receiver into the AUX port.

In response to Rebecca King's statement: "the speakers are not great"I agree that NONE of the GPS units have great speakers (and I've looked at quite a few). So, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a $9 adaptor, which connects the output-jack of my Nuvi-350 directly to my car stereo.This is a MUST if you plan on using the nuvi's mp3 function and listening to music along the way. I've permanently wired mine so that it is a super easy connection and now I can hear all my mp3's (as well as Jill's navigation) through my car-speakers.Hope this is helpful to others...

Dear Customer, The device is a universal 2 din unit. As long as the card dashboard width is 10cm, it can be installed and used. The map card is included so you don't have to buy other pieces.

I would suggest that you contact Garmin technical support and ask that same question to be sure your unit will support it - I have an older model Garmin nuvi and the last update I downloaded required me to put a memory card in to hold the amount of data - it was cheap enough - but something to consider is whether your unit will support current and future map updates & downloads - if your unit will support this lifetime maps update, go for it - great deal

Bluetooh works well, however the onboard apos ARE NOT android compatible. I used my Ipad connected to my Android WiFi to Run/Update maps apps etc.Love the radio. Hands free does well and the Android phone does work well with the JVC. Some Android apps such as online radio works through JVC's Phone app.

Hello,No, you must have a working data connection to use Google Maps and Navigation.Best Regards,Mobile Tablet Shop

I've not seen that ability in the menus. Only to connect to a phone and to use the GPS as the audio.

Unlike these other morons that have the unit wired wrong. (If the unit resets, you have it wired wrong!) Yes, you can update the GPS maps. It is done via a dedicated SDHC card.

Your situation is just similar to my own. I also have an iPad 2 Wi-Fi only, without any voice or data plans. The Bad Elf 1000 30-Pin works very well with my device. About the maps, all you have to do is to get an application that works with off-line maps. In my case, I choose to buy Sygic, that works very well with turn-by-turn car navigation. Sygic is a paid application, but you can find free apps also. You just have to look at the Bad Elf internet site, in the option about compatible software.

Yes it works with other apps. It's all Bluetooth connected. I use map my ride and road bike and everything works.

You can only pair to one device at a time. I just use the GPS on my phone so o can use both at once. They should really mention that but for the price its OK...

Abdullah, if you have double DIN space available, then you can use it. This unit is good other than GPS. MAP is old. I could not find upgraded GPS map any where.

Thanks Marc, I am not a good map reader and would like to use a gps device and a map to educate myself. Would you recommend the CSx for me.

Yes! Siri and BT work well. Also, if you use Google maps, turn by turn directions also go through your speakers.

I tried this (with cellular data off) using an iPad mini with Apple Maps and an iPhone 5 with Google Maps. Worked perfectly on both devices.

It's not necesary, but you need to have an app offline, google maps not work offline, at least you have download a especific map.
