Don't know if I'm all that interested in watching video while I drive. I like that I can plug all my gadegts into the front. I've already played with one at Best Buy and was absolutely impressed by the stuff I could do with my IPod Touch.

Many thanx, thats the nod I needed to get it ordred on E-Bay
It is not just for when you drive, these cars do not have a park brake wire, and this unit does not use the ground of the older units. Besides that if you use the blue tooth phone the on screen number pad is unavailable unless the unit thinks your parked with the brake on.

The only complaint I have is that, unless I am missing something, power goes to the antenna when any source is selected even if you aren't listening to the radio. I hardly ever listen to the radio but the power antenna goes up every time I use the unit . I think I am going to have to somehow put an external antenna switch on it to prevent this. If I am missing something please let me know!
It will come on if you get a phone call and using blue tooth too. it seems funny when you have source off and a call comes in the antenna goes up. I put a switch in mine because most of the time I listen to the sd card and there is no reason to have the antenna up.
You can see the blue switch tucked under the edge of the center console.

Exactly. I have my ecutune agressive settings switch through the top of the coin holder so I couldnt use that placement for the antenna.
More pictures I just took so its plenty of daylight.




and a close up of the antenna switch


Another thing to note I am not running a amp or subs but the options for that are very good. I am running a sat radio input through the rear inputs.
