My wife and up got this unit for our new Subaru Forester, and we are not impressed.
The user interface for both, the mp3 cd and usb files is minimalistic, the gps data input is touchy, radio reception is ok, and speakers output power could be higher. Our biggest complain is the turn by turn voice instructions. It constantly goes mute, and the only way to follow the gps is by looking at the screen. This can be temporarily fixed by removing and reinserting the gps unit. The price is great, but for about $100.00 or so, one can get a much better unit. I'd not recommend this unit.

I tried this unit with my '07 Tacoma. The unit itself is ok for the price. The Axxess/ASWC steering wheel control adapter DID NOT WORK. The Axxess company rep was very helpful in trying to resolve the problem; but apparently, this unit had not been tested and just didn't work with the controls - even when I tried to manually program it.
The unit itself is not to user friendly. The most annoying discovery was that canceling a trip is hidden by default (you can change this). I tried the unit on an hour long trip and mistakenly hit home early on and had to hear 'Susan' keep telling me to turn around. The only way to change this setting and cancel is to stop and shut off the vehicle. Once you change it, it's ok. Some of the safety features (not allowing ipod to scroll down, and not playing dvd while driving) have value, but cannot be disabled. This can be frustrating (especially ipod control) when a passenger is trying to scroll. I get not distracting the driver, but their should be an override for a passenger to be able to use the unit without restrictions.
