Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this item about a week ago and have had a chance to use it extensively.
Pros:
* Immensely robust feature set that integrates well with even the most complex factory setups; my vehicle has a rear DVD player and audio system. I was able to install this unit so that the rear DVD player can operate at the same time as the stereo for occupants in front. This unit has a wealth of features that, while challenging to figure out at times, give you incredible flexibility for configuration.
* Very, very good iPod control capable of easily navigating huge libraries (tens of thousands of songs); gives you access to songs, albums, and playlists quickly
* Excellent built-in Garmin navigation.
* Big, beautiful, highly functional touch screen that looks very clean in the dash; no cluttered buttons or knobs
* Lots of expansion options like satellite radio and bluetooth. I installed a rear camera and it is amazingly useful for trailer hitching and even for everyday backing up.
Cons:
* Like so many electronics products that are reaching nearly into PC space in terms of functionality, this unit suffers from a deep, wide, and complex navigational structure. There are all kinds of buttons that you have to hit in order to reveal other hidden buttons, with little consistency in navigational conventions. Sometimes to see more buttons you have to click a little green one. Other times you need to click one of the few physical buttons on the unit. Sometimes there's a "back" button; sometimes not.
* Button for random (shuffle) iPod playback difficult to find (see bullet above).
I don't want to overstate the cons. I would just love to see the electronics manufacturers pay attention to human interface and really get some expert designers. Maybe Apple could help them out.
All of that aside, this is a fantastic unit, a lot of fun to use, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a strong iPod controller and in-dash navigation system.
