[rrsquid]

Can you still program the auxiliary buttons with this unit?

Yes, according to a YouTube video I saw.

Does the dash volume knob still work with the Alpine?

It does on my 2018 Sport S JLU. The steering wheel volume and next/previous control works as well.

Has anyone had issues with the GPS being off. For instance my house is 108 but on the navigation it says 136. Also any issues with it not recognizing bluetooth pandora on an iphone. It will play the music but the interface doesn't up.

I've found this is usually the map application. Google Maps uses the 'center' of an address and for my house it gave out directions to a different street. Google has a method to report a problem and I was able to have the map marker moved to closer to my actual street (I live in a rural area.)

I just had mine installed. Is there no option for playlists on a USB drive? I had an Alpine nav system in my JK with this functionality, I can't believe this newer/more expensive version does not.

Had mine installed in March, the carplay usb has stopped working entirely, any ideas?

Has anyone had the issue when they go to a dealership and they say their computer cannot perform any updates or anything because of the stereo. For instance there is a recall for the Gladiator camera and needs to do an update. I was told they can't do it and the system does not even communicate anymore with their device
