I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a great dvd player for an extremely reasonable price. The picture quality on this screen is amazing. I had doubts about the brightness and quality of it but even in direct sunlight i was able to makeout what was playing on the screen. The touchscreen functioned easily and consistently. Remote worked like a charm. No funny installation. Works well in all climate, i live in Iowa and it gets down into the negatives alot in the winter, not counting the windchill.

The head unit was a breeze to install with the install kit, the only downside i can mention is that there is not true equalizer for this kit. Still for the price it looks sharp and has a great number of features.
