Power Acoustik PTID-7002NR

About 4 months back I installed my Power Acoustik, and I love it! overall I'm very satisfied with this buy and would totally recommend it. now the cons and pros

PROS-

-i love the fact that you are able to detach the faceplate, my car has been broken into before and this feature helps prevent temptation

-this is an all in one package, its easily upgradeable, navigation, ipod navigation, tv and reads almost all types of video format

-i like that you can have your own background on the main screen as well as some other components

-you have a choice of three different syles to choose from so if i get bored of the same style or screen i can change it

-motorized faceplate, very fancy :)

-you are able to adjust screen settings

-very easy screen navigation

-nice responsive touchscreen

-comes with a great carrying case

CONS-

-since this is a single din with a larger faceplate it wont fit all cars, i have a double din setup so i thought i was good on screen space but when installing the actual single din slot needed to come out further in order to put the faceplate on all the way, but after some modding to the dash kit i made it work

-the slide show only works in radio, and aux input, but will not for cd playback, its just the power acoustik logo

- all the screens have been nicely desighned except for certain info screens, the cd info displays as a blue line with just the track number and time and such, i was hopeing it would be able to read the actual name on the cd

-when playing cds or dvd its a bit touchy to scratched discs, i do have cds that it will play that are seriously scrached up but once it gets to a bad part it will stop and keep trying to read the cd instead of skippin the unreadable area

-when navigating through dvds or your usb, you must put a navigation panel on the front rather than just touching what you want, you must first highlight it through the panel then hit select

-there is people saying that this device does freeze and reboot itself, at one point or another. well.... its only happened to me once so far, the screen froze and most of the touch screen components werent working, but after leaving my battery disconnected for abit all factory settings restored and it was fine, and still had all my pictures in its internal memory.

This is a great unit:

Touch screen is like an ipad, I have had many car units, but I had to return most of them because of poor design flaws. This unit is designed with quality, made in china, but looks like it was put together very well. I had it for a couple of days now...loving it!!!



The only flaw I found is the EQ, when you set it manually (user) it is not as loud as when you set it to the presets (pop,rock...)



For music, I burned a dvd, but made folders for each artist, which works out because when it plays on screen, there are 2 menus, on the right is the songs, on the left if you press on the remote the arrow to the left where on screen it displays the artist,song... it switches to the folder, so i can just click on the remote what folder (artist) I want, then click on the remote arrow right to the song in that folder I want. Note, it is a good idea to get a program for your pc to convert your music like music monkey, I would take out track numbers and everything except artist,song title and album because the head unit will auto create track numbers.

The first time i put a dvd in this unit, it would not elect...i detached the face plate and reconnected it and it worked, but it has not gotten stuck again since then. This unit is upgradable for nav, digital TV which is nice and the extras are way cheaper then any other unit, look it up 89 bucks for nav when any other unit its 200. This unit fit my Honda civic perfectly. If your unit seems like you cannot get it to fit right, on both sides of the unit (front sides) there are adjusters, use needle nose pliers to adjust it so the trim bezel fits perfectly, if it doesn't the face panel will not lock in. Most head units like this only has 2v pre amp, this one has 4v although it says 2v online, its not.



it does not have blue tooth and I do not think there is an upgrade for it, but i do not need it.

I would recommend this to everyone, it is a great buy.

the radio is ok its just the shipping that was a joke it took a week and a half to get it do to there mistake and didnt even offer faster shipping like i said what a joke.

I purchased this unit for my 91 Jeep Wrangler due to is one of very few 7 1/2 inch Touch Screens that will fit the dash and the price was right. Looks great, sound great, if you take the time and properly install "most important calibrate the display screen" prior to adjusting unit to your likings and in order for touch screen to funtion properly. Running 2 Kenwood AMP's 1,000 monoblock for 2 10" Kicker Subs & Kenwood 600 watt for Kicker 6X9 and 4X6 mid and highs Speakers. Radio has pounding bass and crisp high adjustments. Will not be dissapointed of results, but again "must take the time to tweak the unit" The only con is the remote control should have main keys lighted for better view at night.

Bought this unit a week ago and love it what I like the best was the price I got a friend that got the same at the pawn shop for 350 USD. I like that is a datachable face to keep thiefs away. Picture is nice I love the fact that Sonic gives you for free the wire harness and the dash kit. Saves me a lot more money. What I really didn't like was the wait but it was because I got the free shipping took about a week but it was worth it.
