the N57 isn't a traditional head unit. its a carpc. with that said it would be really easy for it to recognize the bluetooth buttions as the pc doesn't see it specifically as a bluetooth button but as an input signal linked to the bluetooth http://www.hiinfoglobal.com/carpc/en57_corolla.html

I looked at the N57 and since it's not simply available on eBay or have tech support in the US (or so it seems) it would just be too risky for me. I'd like to have someone to contact if things go wrong and the Rosen has the features I need so I am perfectly content.
I would be interested to see how the N57 carPC works out, though. Interesting idea.

but yea, with that said, you might want to look into how the camry's bluetooth steering wheel works and see how it interfaces with the camry's rosen unit. form what i notice the rosen units across the board aren't all that different its mainly in the design of the face and the customized wiring harnesses. and as for toyota, im sure they didn't reinvent the wheel when designing the buttons on the corolla's steering wheel and the camry's. they probably work in a similar fashion.
Seems to be similar to my Rosen, but anything being run by Windows would worry me. The BT steering wheel controls are not that big of a deal anyway, the Rosen is only a short reach from my right hand anyway.

I saw a black 10th Gen Corolla S yesterday who obviously had yellow overlays on the foglights and had HID bulbs, looked slightly green...yuck. Saw the same thing on an older Lexus GS a few weeks ago.

Just looks stupid IMO. Just like most anything in life, if you take a good idea too far it becomes weird.

Woke up this morning to 3" of fresh snow, sure was beautiful.
