Installed and running

Well, it arrived Tuesday afternoon, and I installed it Tues night. Needless to say, I have been spending a lot of time sitting in the driveway and playing.

Yes, it will play dvds while driving, unless you wire up the optional parking brake wire, and configure the software to monitor the signal.

So far I am very impressed. The fit is absolutely perfect. The mounting brackets from my stock radio went right onto the unit, and it looks as good or better than the original factory unit.

The GPS software is far and away better than my previous external Garmin unit.

It has a slot so that you can plug a micro-SD into the front, and I grabbed my 16 Gig chip out of my phone, plugged it in and it plays all my mp3s, my mpgs, etc.

As I have time to use it more, I will report back anything that I see as less than perfect, but have noticed nothing so far. In my book, $425 (shipping included) is a steal for this unit.

Congrats Dave, show us some pics of your dash :)
