Incredible deck for a fraction of the price of other big name audio manufacturers. Lots of options and cool display with beautiful video quality. Unfortunately I bought it for my 2003 Buick LeSabre but the radio compartment in this vehicle is very short and the deck was a bit too long to fit with out modifying the dash. So into my friends 1995 Caprice we installed it.

Pros:
======
- Great Price for features
- The way it automatically brings the screen down to eject/accept CD/DVD's looks really slick and expensive
- Bluetooth works great with iPhone
- Looks great, has a 7" screen, but remember this deck is OVER Double Din in size (it sticks out of my Honda Accord by 1-2 inches)
Cons:
======
- Corny GUI, but most cheap decks have this issue, looks so slick until its actually powered-on...
- Has issues with touch-screen scrolling through songs, etc
- The USB playback and other features have issues playing back when not in park (this is the video playback security kicking in), but why does it beef with playing audio off a USB, lack of good coding.
- Almost impossible to see it clearly on a sunny day, so get your windows tinted or find a deck without an LCD
- Remote is stupidly laid out and every button looks exactly the same, but that is expected by this price range for features
Overall:
- Buy it if your windows are tinted and your on a budget
- Bluetooth phone calling/receiving by the deck itself is impressive, the sound quality is good with the built-in mic, avoid tickets
- You will not get flawless or top-of-the-line performance out of this, it also doesn't sound the greatest, but its OK
- I would not buy this again though because it is frustrating to use, I'd cough up some more dough for something better.

Double Din is oversized so it sits about 1-1/2 to 2 inches outside of the dash. The interface looks EXTREMELY cheap. To sum it up it looks terrible! However, the appearance is not nearly as bad as the sound quality. The unit has no sub output so all bass must go through door speakers only and the acoustics go to the back. In other words...the door panel shakes so much you literally think its going to fall off! Base going into speakers instead of subs sounds pretty nasty. There is a reason this is listed for so cheap.

I bought a Pioneer car head unit from Sonic Electronix. The ad said I would also get an install kit. I thought that was pretty cool. When it came, the wiring adapter was also in the box too, and that blew me away. They had the best price, and nobody else was offering the freebies.
