Assuming I have unlimited tethering and can find an app that'll turn tethering on and off via the phone seeing it's plugged into power, I'll be using the screen just like my phone. If not, then I'll just mirror my screen and being an Android phone, I can control my phone via the new deck, so it's going to work out either way. I agree though, I've posted my new mod on local Facebook forums and people have chimed in having spent no less than $800 just add mirroring and backup camera to their CCC units to spending, $1200 to upgrade to CIC and upwards of $3k for a full NBT swap...at the end of the day, $480 is a steal even if it means I'm pushing a few extra buttons vs "factory integration" but I'm also getting sooo much more for 1/6th the price.
