CarPad recommendation?

@cardroid, few questions for you:
1. Do you still have this unit in your VW -- and do you still recommend it?
2. Have you tried the AutoMate app yet?
3. Did the unit come with a plug-and-play wiring harness / adapter that connects straight to the stock stereo's harness? Or did you have to splice any wires?
4. How is the screen brightness in full sunlight?
5. Is the CAN-BUS app the same as what you'd find in other headunits like this? In particular, my Avant-2 can only show fuel and other stats using Metric units (liters, km, etc); but in the US I'd prefer to use imperial units (gallons, miles, ºF). I would have to reverse engineer the app that's on the Avant in order to make those changes.
I have the AVIN Avant-2 in my VW Jetta, but I'm looking to upgrade (dual-core, and 1 GB RAM is not enough!) The Avant-2 is not able to run AutoMate + Spotify + Maps navigation all at the same time... :/
Have you run into any other issues with it -- any deal-breakers?
I'm waiting to hear back from Summer @ Newsmy, to see if she can set up a PayPal invoice.
