Review written by Philip from Ontario, OR
I have owned this product for just over 5 hours now and I can already tell you what I like and do not like.

Likes:
* Bluetooth downloads your phonebook and seems very accurate
(Depending on the location of your mic. Mine is on the pillar)
* Over riding the DVD playback in park is easy with a relay.
(In fact, the Player has 2 built on relay but they are more like switches)
* The ability to set the distance you are from the speakers
* Upgrade ability
(You can add the Garmin GPS system)
* 13 Band EQ
* Reverse tilt screen
* and a few more I am sure I am forgetting.

Dislikes:
* Check your compatibility for the functionality of the SMS
(SMS text messaging does not work on most phones)
* The add on steering wheel remote is slow to respond
* ipod cable is required for newer ipods
* Trim seems a little tight and sometimes click on shut down.
* And my biggest complaint ... It takes about 30 sec for it to turn on.
