I owned this product still and I have yet to find one that does the same as this in-dash here. Its a very nice stereo has lots of features plus bluetooth is awesome with the stock speakers.

One thing I don't like about this is that it gets frozen at times so you have to reset often and have to re-install all the wall papers or screensavers.

I got this for my birthday along with a Sony rearview camera. The radio was an upgrade from the factory unit in my 05 Frontier.

Like; Screen size, picture quality, USB on front, Aux on front

Dislike: slow processing between functions, on screen file access and navigation, slow to change to the rearview camera.



After about a month of use the unit began to flicker everytime I hit the break. I had the installers triple check each connection and contated Sonic. But still had issues figure out what was causing the surge.



I sent it back and was notified that the unit was discontinued. Decided to try the BOSS BV9999BI. Very similar functions except the Boss has a mini usb port, no expansion for Navigation and has an increase in in power.

Overall movement was very slow. It took forever to process something as simple as changing the volume. It was almost as if it went into a hibernate mode. Other than that it wasnt too bad. Had decent sound quality but my basic pioneer deck i have sounds better.

I had this unit installed recently and it works great! This is a great buy for the price. It is very easy to maneuver and I like that the unit closes down the screen when the car is turned off.
