Differences between 2014.5 and 2015/16 nav interface

[TheWayISeeThings]

I'm getting ready to replace my 2002 Camry. I'm NOT in love with the styling of the 2015. The piehole/coweater look seems to be popular with lots of manufacturers over the past year or two and I could probably get used to the look of it in time.

For now, I'm settled on a 2014.5 XLE because I can afford a low-miles, loaded XLE and cannot afford a new one with the features I want. I also hate the XLE grill in the 2016. Second, I like the look of the 2014 model better.

I do conference calls from my car all the time, so having an easy to use, intuitive hands free system is on the top of my list. How much better is the audio/nav system in 2015 over 2014.5 model years? Am I giving up a lot of features?

That said, anything will beat my clip on speakerphone!

No BT system in a Toyota will beat headpiece with mic in it. I have 2 BT equipped Toyotas, 2012 is slightly better yet... Even wife's Lexus is not perfect.
As of the nav itself, just forget Toyota nav. We have people b-ing at it at toyotanation all the time. Same goes for voice recognition. Good phone ear buds with mic so far worked the best.
