Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not fit easily

First let me say that I have a 2005 Lincoln Towncar Signature Limited. I will list the pros and cons. Pros: The sound is great, but you'll have to fiddle with the settings to get the cleanest possible sound. The touchscreen is very sensitive, eliminating the need to press the buttons hard to change the volume or channel. If you've been playing with a slightly upgraded radio for more than 5 minutes, you should be able to navigate it with ease. Cons: I'm not sure who's to blame between the seller or Revain, but someone is to blame. Revain said this radio fits and I can say with absolute certainty that nobody installed it before confirming. You must have noticed. There is a frame around the radio which is designed to fill in gaps I believe but you cannot use it on this car model because the clock on top is too big and prevents you from putting that part on. You will have to remove it, which will leave a gap on the bottom and sides of the radio. Not even remotely aesthetic. To make matters worse, the lousy brackets on the side had to be bent almost beyond repair to get the entire cover back on the car because they were sticking out VERY far. I forgot to photograph them. I found another mount online that will hopefully solve the gap problem so I'll definitely update this review with a video or some photos, if I have to remove the whole panel again. Summary: The software is good, but the installation was terrible because it just doesn't go well with the Lincoln Towncar. I don't know who scored there but it made the whole process a complete pain. I really hope the new mount solves my aesthetic issue but I will not change my rating of the radio because the mount did what its mount was supposed to do when advertised as such. UPDATE, the mount didn't solve the problem. I will return the radio. but it made the whole process an utter pain.
