Dual XDVDN9131

i was mistaken!!!

Ive had this product now for nine months and the screen just died on me! Wont turn on any more, on top of that the unit went into password lock which i had put in when i installed the unit. Thing is that if the screen dont light up you cant put in your password and you cant put it in through the remote either! Before the screen died i gotta admit this unit worked FINE!!! it seems to me that as the unit get older it has to start going somehow??? The screen dose take a few to warm up before it gets bright.

A little scared

I just received my unit yesterday I am having it installed tomorrow I like the looks of it, But the real test comes tomorrow. After reading these reviews I'm not sure what to expect I mainly bought it due to the hands free Bluetooth but now I'm not sure if it is compatible with my new iPhone 4. Again I will find out. I will let everyone know what happens soon. I hope everything works out, Talk to ya soon......

SO EXCITED!

i purchased this receiver about 2 weeks ago on ebay for $300 (score!) and just installed it about 4 days ago, and i am so excited! the unit has full ipod controls which are insanely fast and responsive, the touch screen has no problems, the nav is perfect and the bluetooth works better then my phones mic! overall you can not beat this value...$450 off sonic ha id buy it anyday!

2 Years and 2 Problems

I would recommend this product for it's overall performance. It really is an easy to use and nice gadget to have, BUT!!! The durability of this product is on the low side. Within a month after the installation the faceplate malfunctioned. It was replaced for free. The new faceplate worked ok, but the skip song buttons sometimes had to be pressed 8 times before anything happened. The iPod connection was never all that great because of the faceplate malfunctioning. Now it is another year later and the slide out screen would come a quarter of the way out and then go back in. I tried resetting the radio and it still happened. It got to the point to where I got so upset and eventually just manually pulled the screen out, but the screen didn't come on. Then eventually the gear to flip the screen up broke altogether. If you buy this product just please beware of all the little glitches that you may encounter. It is better off just to buy a separate radio and separate navigation device.

Good Product

Installed this on a 2005 Hyundai Tiburon GT on 12/20/10 and has been working fine so far. If you are buying this because of the bluetooth, do not buy it. The bluetooth is too noisy even with the external microphone, the caller has to yell on to the microphone for the person listening to semi-understand what was said. However, the GPS has been working fine and the sound is not bad for the price. This unit has good features, but the bluetooth is not one of them.

A lot of features but ......

I've been using this unit for about 8 months now. It's got a lot of features, but controls seem cheap. My touch screen stopped working so I have to send it back for repair or for a replacement. But i noticed when I stop the car and restart, the unit sometimes comes on and off a few times. The power button was unresponsive a lot of the times while this was going on. Not sure if this is the adapter you have to buy to prevent this. Navigation unit and stereo worked good. Bluetooth you have to scream into the built in mic like someone already stated, not sure if they were using the external mic. I tried my external mic but it didn't work. I need to check the install of that, might be my fault, might have nicked a wire, so I can't blame anyone just yet. The DVD/CD player has some kind of motor running noise at low volume I can hear. Was told to check for a grounded sub amp cable but did not have a chance to check before the Touch screen went dead / frozen. Also when you remove the DVD/CD they come out hot. Even with all the problems I love the unit and the controls seem cheep but you pay for what you get I guess. The touch screen freezing is a problem and came at a bad time coming back from vacation, but maybe got a lemon. We will see when I get a replacement.

dual 9131

It is a great product, I had a kenwood flip out but it did not do what the Dual 9131 does. Plain and simple..."great stereo".

touchscreen

I love it it was easy to install and it has all the features I look for in a touch scree

alright

It's an ok radio. Bluetooth doesn't work that well. Everyone I talk to said I sound all distorted and they can't hear me at all really. gps is slow and takes forever to load. I use my iPhone gps instead now. The only thing I like about it is that I can play my iPod now in my car.

Good Enough.

I've owned this product in the past and though it gave me some problems I still bought a second one, but this time with GPS on it. It is a nice stereo with lots of sound. It has great power to power up the speakers without an additional amp.

It will work excellent for a couple of months and then you'll start noticing that it may not respond to some comands at first. It does that tupically in the mornings, but once it's warmed up it will work just fine.

Thats only it yours comes out defective like mine. Yours may not. It's a good product for all the features that offers and for the price. I owened my previous one (same brand) for over 5 years until the stole it.

If you want a stereo that has it all including external bluetooth mic and dont wanna spend much. Dual is the way to go.
