"Obviously I was drawn in by the motorised screen which is very trick. It is really hard to press the right button on the touchscreen though despite them being huge? The removeable faceplate is tiny and fiddly. The screws to hold it to the frame are so small you will need micro screwdrivers like for glasses to attach them, and if you drop one expect to spend 5 mins. at least looking for it. The most offputting is how much it sticks out the dash, 20mm at least! It looks like it hasn't been fitted properly!
Despite this I am happy with it because it plays dvd's & movies from sd card on a large screen with good quality picture & sound and the screen hides away which I wanted, I have also hooked up other screens to it for the back seat pasengers which worked well.

Pros: good looking design
Cons: poor front aux
"looks very nice very good sound and rca connections are great. Only down side is the front AUX has very poor sound quilty was easily sorted out by using rca to aux from the rear. But there really should not be a front aux if the sound is so bad making it utterly useless. Otherwise everything else is great."

Pros: fully loaded, amazing sound quality, solid build, has a partial face-off, dvd / video output for rear screens
Cons: protudes out of dash massively when closed
"Bought as a replacement for my standard head unit, so thought I may as well go for something flashy. This looks great when its open, and the sound quality is amazing. Its wired up with a Parrot kit and works perfect with it. Only minor downside is how much this protrudes from the dashboard when closed."

"I love this product. My wife bought it for christmas for me. And I cant stop playing with it. The touch screen is really good and it makes my stock speakers sound much better. Im adding a subwoofer tomorrow so that should make it perfect. Only bad thing is there was a lot of mucking about with the wires at the back had to take some of the dash apart to get it all the way in."

"Although this product is still unused as I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas, the service we recieved in our local shop, Gloucester, was excellent.
There are a lot of leads in the box but the way it is fitted is excellent.
Really happy with my purchase and I know my boyfriend will be chuffed!
Excellent purchase, would highly recommend and would definitely buy again.
