Not a bad price

thats pretty cool and not to bad of a price but u can get a beter aftermarket HU for cheaper (in houston at least) and that deck screws over the 08.5 owners with that flat black color

Looks like a factory option unit, super clean and lots of features, even works with the sterring wheel controls.

Price is damn good if you ask me, Id rather have this instead of aftermarket.

 

[john_in_the_lbc]

does it support factory satellite with controls and display?

Im interested to see how this works too. Im not going to be the first one to try it out though.

if i had the money, i would be all over this like white on rice!

very clean aftermarket head unit.

 

[july_favre]

I just did a quick search for reviews on the company name on google and got a bunch of bad stuff. Theres a bunch of people saying that thier unit quit on them for no reason. Im going to stay away from this one.
I think the peace of mind is probably worth the price of getting a brand name unit.

The website is extremely inept, slow, with lots of broken links. If that is an indication of the quality of the unit, I'd stay far away.

At the same time I keep thinking that one of these small vendors needs to try to take the basic hardware like this and fully develop it into something people would really want. Most of the improvements would be software, not hardware so with volume they would be cheap to implement.

For example, it must have an equalizer built in to deliver the three Rock/Jazz/Classical preset bullshit-feature EQ. If they would only provide software access to this function, and open sourced it, users could write their own interfaces for high quality EQ control.

looking for a reason to post it

i made them an offer, they agreed on $380
but - the LCD sucks (only 480*234, analog), no GPS
so, no go...
