This stereo is great! I haven't learned all the features with it yet. I would recommend it to anyone. However, the radio signals are not that great and I haven't been able to play a DVD....it stops when it starts.

January 31, 2011 VX401 - Mitsubishi Outlander

Installed the VX401 in my 2008 Outlander, and thus far I am pleased. At the price it has one of the best combination of features available. The Bluetooth, iPod, DVD, SIRIUS all work well. Installation is pretty straightforward, with a couple caveats. First, save your mounting screws from your factory radio, you'll need them. The ones supplied are too short if you use the brackets with the aftermarket kit. My factory ones were just right. Also, if you tie-in the parking brake interlock, don't use the Clarion connector, it's junk. Go to Lowes or Walmart and buy some, or just cut the wire and crimp or solder it. Also, if you have steering wheel controls, spend the money for the PAC instead of the cheaper Axxess Universal unit. I tried the latter, and couldn't get it to work, and I'm waiting on the PAC as a replacement, I hope it works. But overall, I'm pleased, and it looks great in the dash. Hope it lasts for as long as I own the car.

Overall the radio and navigation are great however when playing DVD’s the picture is dark and some movies very dark. Already adjust the brightness to 20 which is the highest it goes. Not a good purchase if you plan to watch DVD’s.
