well I installed this unit in my Ford Explorer 2004 the does what it says....mostly the controls are a bit confusing but works fine after some tweaking. the touch screen response with a delay overall the unit works OK for the price. And also you have to notch the bottom of the panel under the unit it overlaps.

Great Buy at a great price: by MjLeX

I purchased this piece at a great price not really knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The picture quality is sensational, with user friendly controls. I love the touch screen feature that the monitor has. It reads dvd's, mp3's, and even has an SD memory card slot on the side when you eject a cd. That is a real nice feature that isn't mentioned, but a nice surprise. the sound quality isn't the best, but it's nothing an EQ can't fix. I'm really satisfied with my purchase, considering that I payed much less than most other units with the same features. I like the sleek design of the unit, monitor looks beautiful. Sits nicely in my car, and looks factory like it came with the car. I am a satisfied customer!

So Far So Good

This is a good system for the money. I give the display 8 out of 10, and the sound quality 7 out of 10. I find the remote and touch screen to be acceptable, but in need of improvement. It does play DivX and MP3 files as advertised. Also, not mentioned in the specifications, or manual is an SD Card reader that supports video, audio, and picture files. Its TV tuner is a little clunky, and does not support manual saving of TV stations. Overall, it does provide more features, and better performance than I expected in a unit at this price range.

Fitment is the issue

I purchased this unit for my 2007 Scion tC. According to all the documentation on the site and on the unit it should have fit my car. Well it didn't. Yes, it mounted with the factory hardware without issue, the wiring harness made the install a breeze, but when I went to put my waterfall (The center console in a tC, the radio compartment has a door also) it would not clear the unit. The reason being the faceplate extends past the chasis of the unit on the bottom about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. with the faceplate extended I was able to get the console on, but the faceplate would not close flat anymore. So yes, theoreticly it "FIT" the car, but it needs to be stated somewhere thet it will not clear the opening on the console of a Scion tC. The unfortunate part is that the unit itself, while testing it before trying to put the dash back on, seemed pretty solid. I scored only the appropriate catagories with scores higher than "1" due to my experience with the unit not being complete.

I have this in my 02 trailblazer, I have the Bose speakers that came with the truck. I put this in myself and now they are easily twice as loud and the speakers do not distort at all. This head unit looks and sounds very good, little pricey though, but over all worth it all the way.

Don't bother

If you're considering buying this unit then my strong advice to you is to find something else. Here's why. The "touchscreen" is unresponsive. Sometimes you have to tap something several times to get it to work. The interface is absolutely horrible, especially one that controls mp3 playback. Think MS-DOS in distorted green color. Screen resolution leaves much to be desired so if you were planning to watch DVDs with it you won't plan to do that again after you actually watched one. The controls are impossible to use combined with unresponsive touchscreen made especially true while driving. And if you press one too many buttons it's gonna hang and require restart. There's no night dimmer so it's gonna blind the hell out of you at night. Contrary to what the box says there's no iPod interface, so usb port is completely useless as it won't even charge your cellphone. It has no cuztomization features at all and very few audio and video adjestments. Only two months after I bought it I decided to replace it and took it out of my dashboard long before it's replacement as gaping hole in my dashboard seemed a better alternative to having this unit there. Even thought about putting my old tape deck back. That gives you some idea how much I liked this unit. I've found almost no pros to it aside from it's price. But after all you get what you pay for.
