Revainrating 4 out of 5

Although everything is fine I would like better instructions and translations of the menu

installed sounds good. Was concerned to see reviews of similar products stating that they load very slowly, but that's not a problem. Turn the key, grab the shifter, music plays before I get behind the wheel. High quality screen, often the image on the LCD is difficult to see from a slight angle, but not in this case. Viewing it from a horizontal angle (from the driver's seat) and a vertical one (the instrument panel sticks out so the screen is tilted down), everything is perfectly clear and visible. I wish the touch function was a bit more responsive, it's a bit difficult to keep your finger still to activate the function while driving, but there might be a setting for that that I haven't found yet. The downside, however, is the wiring. slightly below standard. First, the blue "Remote" wire you normally use to turn on the amp, which is actually in the wiring harness, is only live when "Radio" is selected. I am guessing that on this unit this wire is dedicated solely to powering the antenna as the 2nd blue wire comes out at the very back and powers all functions. It would be nice if the "product manual" was more than a schematic that didn't explain what the abbreviations are. key1-key2-sick? Much unclear? Guess one of them controls the bezel lights because it's either always off or on whether the car is running or not depending on which option you choose in the config menu. Personally, I'm not a believer in trial and error when hooking up electronics. The menu is also a bit difficult to understand, they could probably use a native English speaker in their state to check the translations. With some you can grasp the essence, with others not so much.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • crumpled packaging
