Is it true the voice controls don't work? I really want to keep all of the stock features that are in my car already, since I pretty much use them all.
So far, have you found any other stock features that don't function with the new unit?
No, check the picture below. I can't confirm the voice control because I unplug it the onstar module and with a special adapter I am using the onstar's GPS antenna with the radio's GPS, works flawlessly.

What does iGO use then? Does it connect to your phone via Bluetooth or something?

The IGO is an offline navig with maps on the SD card so is not using the internet.

Ah OK - so it's like the older Nav systems that have a DVD for the maps. Got it.

Damn, Im not able to use the hotspot in my phone because of the plan I have...so would it eliminate alot fo the features if I cant connect to the internet thru my phone?

I was looking forward to this but that might be a deal killer

Basically any features that would require internet access you wouldn't be able to use.

You'd have to buy a plan from a wireless carrier to use the 3G modem. But yes, you could use the 3G modem he sells. So you'd have a monthly bill in order to use the internet features.
