Like the title says; got a 2010 Corolla S and ready to dump the factory unit.  I have done insane amounts of research on this unit and see that the reviews are all over the place. some good, some terrible.  I have an old (not activated) Verizon Galaxy S 3 and am mainly interested in this unit for the mirroring.  I was looking at a bunch of those no name android units and have heard nothing but bad news about them.

I am looking at buying the AR3 from crutchfield (model w/o the DVD player)

What does everyone thing about this unit?  Things you hate? Things you love?

Also the crutchfield advisor told me this unit supports BT (a2dp) is that true?

Like I said mainly interested in using it to mirror my s3 with ARUnchained just wanted to get some feedback and input.

Thanks,

EDIT: Pulled the trigger, still interested in people's thoughts on the unit though.

do you have an iPhone5 or newer?  If so, then you'll be sorry you went AppRadio.....if not, then I'd say you should be fine.

ugh.....says right there that you're using a Samsung Galaxy S3.....okay you're fine

I do have a 5s but won't be using it with the AR3; will be keeping my S3 in my car connected to the unit. That is the plan anyways.  I should still be able to stream music via BT from my 5s though right?

Not sure about the AR3 but the AR2 cant stream via bluetooth.

The AR3 can.

Okay cool, order just shipped from Crutchfield.  I bought my MHL adapter already! So ready to have android in my car.

You'll enjoy it. It's a reliable radio, boots very quickly. Basically instantly, and with the right rooting, you can have the full android experience through the head unit.
