It was easy to install and set up in my 2008 Tacoma. Sometimes the ipod disconnects but other than that I haven't had any problems with it working. There are a few things that would be nice to have like a built in mic, detachable faceplate, anti-glare screen but I still am pleased with it. The suggested Metra dash kit that was sold with it didn't fit and I would recommend getting a Scoshe kit.

I owned a Ford Explorer 2002 a decided to junk the factory radio with something more updated. This is the choice for those of you who is on a budget. Installation was easy. The diagram was very helpful along with the free hardness. It took me and my son 4 hours to complete the installation. I wired the pink(ground) wire to a toggle switch wired in arm rest box, just in case I get pulled over by the PO PO. The touch screen response is very precise, the dvd video shows great but the aspect ratio don't work. My Android 2.2 phone paired off in minutes after installation. I won't be upgrading the navigation unit due to the fact that my phone has it already and speaks through the speakers. Overall I'm impressed with this low end head unit....I will be updating later...

Installation into my 2007 Tacoma was easy with the Scosche dash and wiring kits. I use all 3 preouts. Front and rear into a 4 channel amp and subwoofer out into a separate sub amp.
I did test out the DVD player and the radio and they worked fine. I was also able to watch video from SD and USB (once I found the correct video format to use).
I mostly listen to MP3's so I load about 600 of them up onto a SD card at a time. One thing I do notice is that this unit skips the first 1/2 second or so of MP3's, so you miss the first note of songs with a big opening.
One feature I do like is when I turn the unit on the volume is set to 10 (out of 40) so the music doesn't start out blasting.
Hooking up a rear view camera was as simple as running the wires and plugging it in.
At this price level I would recommend this product.

Buying experience is awesome with sonic electronic. Required harness wiring for selected stereo and selected car model is wonderful option this site provides. The product is up to the description and features mentioned.
I dont have any issues with the product and its very easy to install.
