Hi all,
Long time lurker first time poster. Just doing some online shopping at 3am and noticed that JB are having another 30% off car audio sale. I've been on the lookout for cheap price on this head unit for a while and the previous cheapest price I've seen was $1117 when JB have the 20% off sale. The good thing about this unit is that it supports GPS, DAB+ & FLAC which the quality may or may not matter in a car but I cbf re-encoding all my music to MP3. The only thing missing is a remote control but I believe it has a 3.5mm wired remote input so can potentially use an aftermarket steering wheel control/remote such as these (if like me your car is too old and doesn't have steering wheel controls):

I haven't tested these so not sure if they are 100% compatible if at all. I already have the PAC unit that I've had a for a while & some Pioneer remotes so will test it out when I get the head unit installed. If anyone else is interested I can report back how it goes.
Dont forget that this one supports apple carplay firmware upgrade
