Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far so good!

I've had this around a week and so far all the features work as advertised. It took me two tries and it synced with my iPhone, but if theres any gripe, it's that when I open the phone book on the deck it brings up the numbers and not the names. I guess I'm going to have to play around with it. Other than that one thing, I love the deck. Movie play is great and the touch interface is excellent. A great buy!

Follow up to my first review

Having used the Unit now for for 10 months my opinion of the unit has gone down. The screen color choices aren't great although this can be over looked. There are a few big complaints are:
1. After you have set up the configuration the way you want it, the unit will reset to all of the original default values. This is pretty annoying. The biggest of the default configuration complaints is the screen saver when listening to the radio. All the pictures are really distracting.
2. The on/off button periodically doesn't turn the unit of but instead just cycles through the different modes of operation.
3. The tilt on the screen doesn't work. It's either open or closed.
4. The next few aren't directly the in dash unit but the GPS. It appears as though the size of the displayed map is larger than the screen so the text information at the top of the display is cut off. The maps are out of date and they have no up dates. Map color choices are very bad and street names are pretty lacking. Route calculation times sometimes can be quite lengthy even for short trips (less than 5 miles). Lastly refers to the support by the manufacturer. ALMOST NON EXISTANT. I have 2 Garmin Nuvi GPS units and both are far superior to this unit when it comes to Naviagtion. On the good side the SD card reader works extremely well although the menuing is pretty convoluted and the Blue Tooth link works great (once I figured out how to sync my cell phone) although it would be nice if the nav instructions were quieted down some during a phone call and an mic audio mute function was included. I would say to anyone considering this unit sped a few extra buck and buy someting else.

Good Buy

Its a good head unit but it has its problems at times. It likes resetting all the settings. Which is very annoying to have to redo it all. Other than that it works great and is a great price.

Good Deal

For the money I got just as much as my son did when he ordered the Kenwood D7140. Love it for about a third of the cost

bluetooth

I'm not sure what happened but the bluetooth function leaves a lot to be desired.

Awesome radio!

This is the best radio I ever had. I love the bluetooth and the big screen. I would recomend for the ease and the great performance. I don't have GPS so can't reply about that. But I love all the rest.

great deal

farenheit radio is a good product

best indash yet!!!!!!!!!

The bluetooth is really awsome....... it has like a iPhone menu when chosen settings....... if u want a 2011 in-dash look, this the way 2 go... "KENTRE" insider... lhh

Nice DVD unit

I purchased this unit and have done a custom install in a 1999 GMC Sierra. The installation and wiring of the unit was straight forward. The Video quality and audio quality are fine. So far all of the features I've tested work as they should. I also have the NaviBox-1, but am still waiting for Epsilon Electronics the parent company of Farenheit to send me the adapter cable so I can connect the GPS interface cable to the Head unit. The parts dept lost my first request for the adapter. The adapter cable doesn't come with either unit, but it is free if you call Epsilon/Farenheit parts department and ask for it. The manual that comes with the Farenheit product isn't the best and leaves you with questions on some things. Epsilon/Farenheit Customer service is one of the worst I have ever encountered, although when I was able to contact tech support or parts they were helpful. So bottom line for the price it isn't a bad product and if the occasion arose again would consider purchasing this unit again.

IPHONE Sync

I got a truck which had this unit in it. I am unable to sync my IPHONE 3 into it. As a matter of fact, several ppl with Androids and IPHONEs have tried and have had no luck.

farenheit dvd player

Good product. Been using it for 6 months no problems. Installation was easy in my 04 F350

dvd quit working

All of a sudden the DVD quit working, the unit is just 1 year old.

good buy

For only 290$ out the door this was a great deal for me. Put it in my 08 sti. Works great. I love being able to play any song on my iphone and have it play wirelessly through my car speakers. Dvd player works great too. about to hook up a PS3 to it. worth the 300$ if you ask me.

It's ok but not great

I've had this unit now for more than 6 months. Functionally it works ok but isn't great. Screen color colors can be a problem, and instructions are not to accurate. I've never been able to get the screen to stop at any angle other that vertical or open. The remote is pretty usless also. The receiver is ok, and the SD mode does work fine but changing folders and songs is a pain. I have also never been able to get the bluetooth to sink with my cell phone. I also have the nav unit and the maps are out of date and they do not have any newer ones. Streets and roads that have been in for more than 5 years aren't in the data base. Routing is as good as my Garmin1450. Touch screen is not reliable. I usually have to touch it numerous times to make it do a selection and my wife can't make it work at all, (good thing it's installed in my truck!). If I compare the functionality of the this nav unit to garmin the NaviBox would be a total thumbs down. Bottom line here is spend a few bucks more and get a different unit. I would not recomend this to anyone and would never buy any product from this mfg. Their customer support is TERRIBLE!
