Definitely a good looking radio that fits car aesthetic. Rennlist and online guides were immensely helpful with the settings. What I find weird is it’s a simple CarPlay radio with no real fancy features. No hires music or normal codecs other than mp3 and aac, lost my satellite radio unless I use the app. Luckily the usb works great with aac files and I can connect to the aux with my dap to listen to my cds on flac. Tried a roady satellite receiver but for some reason it wouldn’t recognize the cars satellite antenna with the fakra connector. Also had a wine using the auxiliary due to connection being on power plug. Can’t use BT if using CarPlay so probably returning Roady BT.

So I just got these new Diptyque Panel speakers last week, in time for a small vacation. Spent Wednesday night (when I received them) setting them up with subs and playing various types of music. I was gone for the weekend but otherwise I’ve been playing music and/or watching movies, for 3-4 hrs at a time each day. The Mylar has really loosened up since the first day. I’ve never been a big believer in a need for break in on most electronics, but panel speakers have always been different. I don’t expect much change going forward, but the bass is amazing for a panel and I’ve been able to significantly reduce the crossover to 60 hz. I must say I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase… expensive…. But absolutely worth it! Paired with a McIntosh 8950, Perspex turntable and two Rythmik G22s.
