Not Well Integrated
I bought this guy based on the feature list (which is extensive) and the price. Let me up front, it DOES have all the features that it states, but some they are not well integrated together. The usability of this model is somewhat lacking. A deal-breaker for me was the fact that you couldn't listen to the radio while the nav map was on the screen. The only thing you could have on the screen was the radio mode display. That seemed really dumb. The user interface is also very disjointed, the nav system is completely separated from the rest of the interface, so there are two completely different ways of accessing music on an SD card. And they each have their own pickiness in regards to file formats and stuff. Overall, I would NOT recommend this unit just because the designers didn't think through how a driver would use it.

Took a chance on BOYO with good outcome
Wow, audio shops like car toys and others don't want you to buy BOYO it seems. But as I couldn't afford a 1000.00 nice alpine, Kenwood, or similar, I took a chance on this multi-feature Boyo unit. I installed it myself in a G35 and all applications function great, quite intuitive and simple to use and GPS nav works great even though I placed the antenna under a back dash false speaker grill instead of outside the car. GPS tracks well and maps are very up to date. I simply inserted the NAV SD card and it brought up nav mode and was instantly operational, no specific setup necessary. It also has a second SD card slot for music/video files. There is one con however, if you have power amps the preamps output this high frequency whining prior to a music, DVD, or nav mode, such as when you first turn on the ignition/power, and also when the volume is zero. But completely goes away once in "a" mode and volume is 1 or more. It could be that the preamp section on my amps are more sensitive than most, so it might not be that noticeable in other systems, or if you use the high output section directly to speakers.
All in all, this is a great value at 400 bucks.
