Thus, triggering the foot brake and hand brake. The reason why Alpine does it like this is, it's the law. IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO HAVE A MOVIE PLAYING WHILE THE DRIVER HAS VIEW OF IT.

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You would have to buy a separate unit for the bluetooth. As far as navigation, i'm sure the blackbird works fine. I think you would need to buy a craddle though. But i've heard the blackbird has some lagging issues. The gps locator on screen is about a few seconds behind actual location of the car. The other option for navigation is the separate module that Alpine has on their site. I think it's over a grand. Did i mention that it's has rear camera input ready? That's all Iknow of it. let me know if you have more questions.
