Works amazing!

I am impressed with the unit but the amp could have been a lot louder but I think I can turn the bill on a new amp as I saved $1000.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some quirks

Defective after 5 months. with 3 months guarantee

The decoder was defective after five months. I was told the unit only had a 3 month warranty (not listed) and had to buy another one.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Negative impression

Perfect for an aftermarket upgrade! ('08 ML550)

This worked perfectly for our aftermarket Mercedes Command Center upgrade with fiber optic cable. Everything works including steering wheel controls, fading and stereo balance.

Pros
  • Change Price

2003 996 C4S with amplifier and Bose speakers.

Fits perfectly! Amazing sound! I replaced the head unit with an Alpine ILX-207 along with the Metra 99-9605B dash kit and Metra 40-EU10 antenna adapter. You don't actually need a harness adapter as you need to connect it directly to the OEM phone's power harness. Feel free to ask any questions if you need to walk. :-)

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled

Poor quality in TV tuners

For some reason mine works fine the first time it connects to the car after the car is turned off. It won't turn back on unless you disconnect the harness at the back and manually reconnect it, otherwise you'll leave the ACC and B+ wires connected to b+ at all times. Maybe mine is defective, I don't know, I hope they send me another one because I don't want to drain my battery every day just to plug this in

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived
