   Great deal from Amazon. (270 USD) with Amazon prime shipping. A lot cheaper compared with the other expensive ones in this tough economy.

   Pros:
   
   —–
   
   This one is a new version, March 2009 release.

   1. In-Built Bluetooth works fine and plays music directly from Iphone without having to connect any wires to it. No hissing nor static noise in the back ground. Audio from Bluetooth is crystal clear.
   
   2. Rear view camera(bought a 40 USD camera from Amazon and hooked it up by myself), DVD player, FM(16 presets), all works as advertised.
   
   3. Cheaper (270 USD) when compared to Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD with Blue tooth which comes to atleast 420 USD.(with the steering wheel interface)
   
   4. I got Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD (just for comparison) and this unit and tried both of them in my Honda Pilot to check how it works and did not see any difference in quality.
   
   5. Bought a soldering Iron(15 USD) and soldered all the wires by myself. (saved 60 USD in installation charges).Instruction manual provided is more than sufficient to do it.
   
   6. Prompt customer support via email when you register in their website.

   I hope the quality of this product lasts for a long time.

   Minor tweaks
   
   ————
   
   1. Connected the Dimmer to the parking brake to make the DVD play in the front panel as well.
   
   2. Had to connect the rear view camera trigger wire to the back up light system.
   
   3. Need to connect the rear view camera video output to the CAM input.

   Cons:

   1. 4 star rating because it does not have a steering wheel control Interface but to compensate for it they provide a wireless remote control.
   
   2. Does not support SDHC or USB memory stick more than 2 GB.

   Great unit for the price. It does everything it says. Surprisingly, the bluetooth works better than some more popular brands. The interface is extremely cheesy. I seriously laughed when I first saw it. Also the loading time seems a bit slow whether it is a cd or dvd. The sound quality is better than expected. My old system was alpine type-r with 3 v12 amps (i know good sound). The only reason I gave this product 4 stars is because you really cannot beat the price. The rear view camera works flawlessly, sounds great, and has a great picture. There are some small features that are annoying example… when a call comes in though bluetooth when you end the call the track on the sd card starts from the beginning again. It is rather annoying, but overall I am pleased with my purchase.

   I like the radio, I installed it myself, pretty easy job… The reason I give it 4 stars is because of software it uses. It makes the radio look cheap and low quality.. it is way too basic. The graphics look as an old nintendo or a cheap china made dvd player. It should have a better interphase with better graphics and icons. It has a lot of extras such as pict viewer, screen tilt, and even an equalizer, surround presets and a real time graphic showing the way your music moves, however you cannot save your customized preset and you have to choose it each time you turn off the radio. It lacks a screensaver option, when listening to a CD or MP# music you see an ugly boss wallpaper. it is a shame because the sound and image is great. I have a back up camera that turns on when you select reverse and it looks great… I do recommend it however so do not expect to get impressed by the software. i will put some picts later so you can see what I mean.
