Overall this is a great product that is easy to use. We used this radio in a new 2011 Mack CXU613 Sleeper Tractor (18-Wheeler) and our customers love the features; especially the Garmin GPS, Blue-Tooth and the optional iPod feature. The only current downside to this product, and only related to the trucking industry, is that Garmin was not able to download the 'Trucking Industry' maps which is very important to truck drivers. Apparantly it causes problems with the Kenwood's operations. They say they are working on it, and will repost when I receive my update CD.

Best bang for the buck! Garmin Nav. makes it super easy to use! I searched high and low for a nav system under $1,000 and I couldn't be happier!
