Just got this deck installed, replaced factory GM deck with this. I could almost turn the stock deck to full volume and still remain in car. I cannot seem to listen to the Sony deck much above 1/3 the volume. Lots more power in Sony deck. 7 band EQ is great item to have, very few decks have this much adjustment. The access to USB drives is slow as it is mentioned in other's reviews, but upgrade over stock deck is such a huge change, hard to complain. I have not tried video playback yet, but I have high hopes it will be great. One note for GM owners looking at aftermarket decks, there are two plugs in back of stock unit. One is 24 pin and the other 12 pin. The 12 pin is for AUX inputs to stock deck. Therefore the 12 pin is left hanging in back as it is not needed in the new install. It took me time to discover its purpose, that is why I'm sharing the knowledge.

I recommend this product to anyone! It is very user friendly. The DVD feature is great with a beautiful picture! I have no complaints about this headunit at all! I run this with an Audioque HDC3 15" subwoofer and Audiopipe 15001d Amplifier and it slams. Definitely get this unit if you're looking for an affordable in dash touch screen with a beautiful picture!

Its very good, user friendly. Ipod controls are a little weak, but its good overall. The touch screen is dated, not nearly as touch friendly as an apple product but for the price its great!

This Sony head unit has given me nothing but satisfaction since the first day I insatalled it in my 03 Lincoln town car. Fits perfect with the two head rest screen I had preinstalled this matches the luxury of the tc at a low price compared with others out there. Overall I will buy it again and recommend it.
