It was easy to install and set up in my 2008 Tacoma. Sometimes the ipod disconnects but other than that I haven't had any problems with it working. There are a few things that would be nice to have like a built in mic, detachable faceplate, anti-glare screen but I still am pleased with it. The suggested Metra dash kit that was sold with it didn't fit and I would recommend getting a Scoshe kit.

Installation into my 2007 Tacoma was easy with the Scosche dash and wiring kits. I use all 3 preouts. Front and rear into a 4 channel amp and subwoofer out into a separate sub amp.

I did test out the DVD player and the radio and they worked fine. I was also able to watch video from SD and USB (once I found the correct video format to use).

I mostly listen to MP3's so I load about 600 of them up onto a SD card at a time. One thing I do notice is that this unit skips the first 1/2 second or so of MP3's, so you miss the first note of songs with a big opening.

One feature I do like is when I turn the unit on the volume is set to 10 (out of 40) so the music doesn't start out blasting.

Hooking up a rear view camera was as simple as running the wires and plugging it in.

At this price level I would recommend this product.

It was worth every penny. IT shows great movies. It reads all my music. I don't even have to turn it up loud to blast it through my speakers. Adjust well and has tons of options. Totally worth it.

I bought this radio for my 98 Ford Ranger and was so happy with it that when I got rid of the Ranger it was brought over to the F150. It gets plenty loud, while remaining crisp and clear. Works great with the bluetooth, and comes through very well on the other end as well. The SD card feature is slow to load up, but once it does it works as it should. Overall this is an excellent headunit for someone who wants new features without breaking the bank.

At first I was a bit skeptical due to the unit having an extremely low price, but I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this unit. The touchscreen is really responsive, the bluetooth works great, the iPod to unit is a bit slow but its nothing I can't deal with. Easy install. I'm considering buying the navigation upgrade soon. Look is very bland, but I bought it for the features not for it to be colorful. Overall Im really happy with this unit.

April 2, 2012 Awesome car stereo for under $300!

I bought this stereo to replace the factory stereo in my Ford Focus and I am so happy with my choice! I love having the touch screen for all of the controls and love the iPod hookup and bluetooth. I leave my iPod hooked up in a small compartment on the left side of the steering wheel. The iPod control works very well! The feature I love the most is the bluetooth. My phone automatically connects with the stereo as soon as I start the car. This was weird to get used to at first, especially if I was on the phone when I got into my car an all of a sudden I couldn't hear the other person, until I turned up the stereo, it switches over automatically! I also love how if I am listening to my iPod and get a call, the song is paused. I also stream Pandora from my phone to the stereo, very cool! Sometimes I even play Youtube videos on my phone and listen through the stereo bluetooth. I don't have a video iPod or iPhone, so I haven't tried playing videos from them onto the stereo screen. Another cool feature is that you can set the start-up volume! So, when you turn off the car after driving with the volume high, when you restart the car, the volume goes to the pre-set value, so no more blsting your ears off when you first start the car!!! The only complaint I have, which might have a solution that I haven't found yet, is the bluetooth phone call volume is pretty low, so I have to turn up the stereo volume to hear the other person, but when I hang up and the radio or iPod starts playing again, I have to quickly turn the volume down. Not the end of the world, but it can be annoying.

One feature that I wish the stereo had, is when listening to my iPod, I wish I could drag the progress bar to quickly move further into the song. I listen to some 2 hr trance mixes and it would be nice to be able to jump 10 minutes instead of the normal fast forward of like 20 seconds per second. You can drag the scroll bar when going through you song list, to move faster through the list, so it seems like it would be possible in a song.

By the way, if you ground the pink video wire to any screw behind the dash, you can watch video while driving. It was going to be way too difficult to connect the pink wire to my handbrake! I watched Top Gun on the stereo and the sound was AWESOME! This is a very nice feature packed head unit!

I purchased this radio for my Ford Focus at the recommendation of the Sonic Electronix guys, and am I ever pleased. So many features, and all the extras were included. iPod cable to play videos, dash rings, mic for the phone. It has impressed me more than I could have believed that a Jensen could have. The power output is moderate, but rated at 13w rms, it's not misleading in it's description. iPod controls are great, almost like using the scroll wheel itself, but with a slight pause when songs are skipped, but no big deal. Dvd playback is great, with very good screen resolution. It is a little hard to see the screen in direct sunlight or polarized sunglasses, but not to the point of being unable to see it. And it has so many inputs, sd card, a/v, front and rear usb. And expandable with nav, and the bluetooth with the phone is good and syncing very easy. I TOTALLY recommend this head unit to anyone looking for a head unit with the features it offers.
