Pay for what you get

I bought this for my girlfriends 1996 Ford Mustang and my first impression was that I found a great deal, I only paid 280 for a single DIN 7" TFT head unit with iPod direct connection , built in blue tooth, DVD Playback, back-up camera ready and a few other options that are appealing. After removing it from its packaging I noticed the fused power, acc, and antenna wires on the wiring harness which is nice, but the wiring harness is ridiculously long, and takes up a lot of space behind the head unit, which is tight already.
I used the RCA connections to bypass the factory sound system, and connected them to a Kicker ZX400.4 amp and a Boss CA1100M amp to power 4 Kicker DS680 Speakers and a Kicker C10 Sub. Sound wires all on passenger side, power and remote wires all on the driver side. After the install, the first thing I noticed was an insane amount of ground loop noise. I put 2 ground loop isolators before the kicker amp, and grounded them to the same point as the amps. This reduced the noise incredibly, but it was still obviously there. I then grounded the head-unit via 12AWG wire to the amp ground point, which theoretically should have eliminated the noise completely, but it’s still there. I am going to ground the post head unit RCA female ends individually, and pray that works.
After the RCA/ground loop problem was resolved, I messed with all the functions of the unit. The blue tooth works pretty well, the radio works well, DVD/CD/AUX1 playback are all great. When I attached an iPod, the on screen functions were not working properly, I could not scroll up/down under the artist section to choose an artist. Last the manual has more type-o's than I care to count. I have installed and used several better TFT units for only a little more than this one costs. I plan to add on a rearview cam later this week and hopefully that works out well.
My general impression is that this unit looks and sounds great, but was not built to the same quality as others. In general it does its job and makes my girlfriend happy, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for anything more than "cheap". It looks pretty, but is flawed in design, has all the features you want, but they don't work as well as other Multimedia head units.

great price for what you get

I purchased this product for my jeep grand cherokee. It works great and sounds good. I use the unit to listen to serious radio. I would recommend this unit to others.

AMAZING RADIO!

I have to say this is a great radio with a lot of POWER. I couldn't be anymore happier or impressed by this radio, so happy I decided to order one!

Great Player !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found many Equalizer functions missing on it (only Bass & Treble ). Fading from rear to Front is not much smooth. System respond on remote very slow. Sound quality is average. Overall its a good deal with lots of other feature like its a single Din with TFT touch Screen. USB & Support Bluetooth n IPOD . Two Aux Channels . SD Memory. 85W per channel. Camera Input and more.
