- Contextual Shuffle: Intelligent single-button shuffle that understands whether you are browsing an Artist, Album, Playlist, or your entire library.
- Search Support: Integrated search functionality for finding Artists, Albums, and Tracks via voice or the system keyboard.
- Seamless Setup: Easy server linking via
plex.tv/linkPIN authentication directly on the head unit. - Optimized for Driving: High-contrast, large touch targets and optimized caching for reliable playback even in areas with spotty connectivity.
