Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Since theres not a lot of people that wrote reviews, I thought I'd write a more detailed review.
Shipping is very fast, packaged very well.
Unit comes fully loaded with almost everything! GPS, IPOD capable, Rearview camera capable.
I installed this into my 2003 Honda Element. I used the 70-1721 wiring harness from this site. All the wires are pre-cut so wiring was easy.
The unit itself is fairly easy to navigate around, any dumbass can do it. The sound is incredible, the one thing I like is you can preset the sound to any level when it starts-I sometimes forget I blast it!
Navigation is quick, it boots up and finds me from 10-15 seconds. The user interface for this is also very easy, again any dumbass can use it. I posted complete specs of the unit below. Happy buying guys!
