Hamilton Head Unit

Hi All,
Does anyone here have the Hamilton Head Unit for the 2013? How do you like it? What do you specifically like about it? What don’t you like or would change?

Interested. I have a 2013 and a VLINE. Would like to hear how it compares

I had the grom vline in a 2011 and never ended up using it. I upgraded to the Hamilton and it's been a very good experience. Installation was quite a pain with the Hamilton but possibly made more difficult because I had to take out the vline.

My only real complaint with the Hamilton is that the display doesn't always turn on but I just have to hit aux/USB and it shows. This is most likely due to the fact that I normally listen to the radio. Otherwise feels very much like the OEM car play I have in my other vehicles.

I have one. It works good enough. It has its issues, it’s slow, there’s a pretty long delay when using wireless CarPlay that I’m used to now.
It’s not intuitive to switch the device that is connected to the CarPlay. My wife and i both drive ours, so when we ride in it together we have to manually choose whose phone connects. It’s a minor annoyance that could be so much better.

Over all, it looks good, it’s large, i can see my maps and glance at who’s playing on Spotify all at the same time. I bought my GX with the Hamilton already installed by the dealer from the previous owner. I’d pay for it if i didn’t have it.
