I have not gotten it to play music while I am using GPS. However, I didn't hook up all the extra wires either because the instructions suck! GPS map update? I don't know about updating GPS maps because the original seller should know this answer and they never respond. They always send us consumers questions to answer for others. Rear view camera at night? I don't know because first: I did not receive a camera from the seller even though they said that it was in the box and they lied to me. I bought my own camera and get this: There is a separate button you push to engage the rear view camera after you put it into reverse gear. Weird, right? What do you expect from non-US made products.

Radio is fine but for a while stop working, all the questions asking work, except maps, you can't update, camera works during night time good camera, but radio think better brand.

Yes music plays while gps is on, they each have there own volume control. I had my maps updated at a local shop that installs systems, and yes the camera works great at night, your reverse light lights it up. The music does go off while in reverse also, the comes back on in drive or park. My kids also play the games that come on this head unit, and watch dvd's. Overall this was a great purchase.

1. Yes it keeps plaiyng. But you can make gps volume louder. Whebln someone rings it turns off sound.2. Map and gps software are stored on sd card. You can extract it and update map.3. Did not try to connect camera. Sorry.

Yes, the radio and stuff work while using the GPS. The GPS is on a memory chip and just replace with updated map chip to update maps. And I don't have a problem with the backup camera at night.

Mike, I agree what Garmin said made no sense, but it is working today. So who knows what really happened. Where did you get those other updates for the traffic receiver?

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

I do not have the GPS add on on my radio, but when I do have a back up camera hooked up and it still plays music when the back up camera is on. I can even still change the station. So i imagine it would be the same with the GPS running.

There is a setting to adjust the sound of the GPS voice and the music does go down when there are directions to be spoken but be aware that the GPS SUCKS!!! It tells me you have reached your destination on the left and it's either a mile or so up the road or it gives the wrong side. I have had nothing but problems with it, I should have just stuck with my Garmin. TERRIBLE!!!

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

The Bluetooth only works with phone calls. It does not allow music streaming from the Bluetooth enabled devices. The navigation provides basic turn by turn directions. It does not speak the street names. I hope the Information is helpful to you.

I've had the Maestro 4040 for about a week, and I'm having a major problem with it. Right now while driving a route the unit will often go a bit wonky, as in it will stop announcing street names, or the map will show a completely different area than where I am, or the progress bar screen will freeze. The unit will then reboot itself, and after it comes back it will operate correctly until I power the unit off and then back on after a period of time.Still working with Magellan support on this one, this stuff seems to have started happening after a firmware upgrade.

WHAT, THEN, IS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET A CLEAR ANSWER ON WHAT GPS ONE SHOULD BUY FOR THE CAR. ARE THERE ACTUALLY UNITS IN THIS PRICE RANGE THAT ARE RELIABLE? IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY?

Another thing about Koolertron: if you are listening music with Bluetooth connection and open the GPS, music doesn't work. GPS only works with radio at the same time

The Gps is very good. I'm not sure how to answer your questions other than it seems to work great and kowm how hug it is at all time.

I haven't really played with it, but I haven't been able to get video to play on it at all, but I'm sure i'm doing something wrong. I love the BT Audio with it. I just connect my i phone to it and play stream radio trough Jango.

I've used mine outdoor and the GPS is disabled. Still worked (I was within WiFi connectivity for cloud syncing).

While mine is current, only a month old, there are two ways to upgrade maps and firmware... there is an sd card slot and a usb slot. I think the correct process for updating maps and firmware is to use the sd card slot though. Hope that helps.. I like the unit and the gps is pretty good.

What's up Frank! Hope you're doing well. I think you might have to update the maps. I am not a specialist, but I recently recieved a message on my GPS startup screen to update the map (have yet to do so). Last year when this issue happened, the map update helped fix address issue, temporarily. Gramin offers free up-to-date maps on their website. Overall it is a good GPS for finding LOCAL locations. I have found that once you'd been to the area with the GPS on, it records the satellite points for faster access in the future. Make sure you flip open the antennae (square flap) to connect. Accuracy is like 7.65900/10 and has internal issues like the one Frank talked about. The GPS itself (internal software) is 5/10. It's okay and has bugs when you are typing in the address. It only accepts a specific format for addresses (something like zip code, city, house #, street name). I would recommend it only if you are looking for something cheap and are somewhat are familiar with the compass rose and major landmarks in the city.

No I bought one and installed myself the radio qulity is horrible!!!!! The gps is fine but it takes long time to find the way. And when I installed it it wouldn't completely fit so I had to trim a small part of the big thing. We'll good luck if you deceide to buy that and have fun
