Amazing bang for the buck
This receiver has all the features of the more expensive receivers.
Installation was very simple, and for the first time in my life the wire colors actually matched those of the adapter harness I bought for my vehicle (which I recommend). I don't cut factory wiring when I don't have to. I installed this into a 2009 Nissan Titan SE.
DVDs play crystal clear and the touchscreen interface is awesome. I have owned touchscreens that require a lot of pressure to activate. This one is great. Check legality in your state but to play DVDs with your vehicle in gear I AM TOLD you simply ground the parking break wire. Just saying.
The BlueTooth works AWESOME with my Samsung Galaxy S3, I primarily listen to Pandora. The phone feature is good, not the best audio quality but I have no problems holding a conversation. I mounted my mic atop my steering column behind the wheel. No problemds with audio quality at all with music.
I also ordered the $15 Koolertron back-up camera which works great with this receiver. Wiring was simple for that as well, a single RCA from the camera and another wire to a back-up wire source.
The screen is bright and clear, even during daylight hours (which I have had problems with other receivers). Doesn't wash out in light.
The only thing I can't review on yet is the steering wheel function interface (which this stereo features), as I have yet to order the adapter from Meta. I don't use the steering controls much anyway, but I would like to have the option of volume control there.
For the money I HIGHLY recommend this receiver. I have used Boss Audio components before, but not a reciever. I couldn't be happier.
