Yes. I have a Note 3 linked to mine. Streams perfectly, navigation even has all my starred locations from my google maps. The nav interface can be controlled by physical buttons/dial, touchscreen, or from the steering wheel as well. Even voice commands from steering wheel. iPod hookup is in the arm rest.

While driving, its nice to have physical buttons such as the big dial on the nav, answering calls, scrolling through menus, etc. Touch screen can be tricky and dangerous while driving.
