I did a lot of research before I bought this product. I knew going in to it that I was getting a CD, iPod, Bluetooth, and GPS unit. The problems I've heard about it were that there was a limited amount of Points of Interests (which is upgradeable for $100) and the settings and controls were a little confusing. Once I got the unit and had in installed I found all those thing to be true. One additional problem I found was that you cannot connect the faceplate to any Mac OS, but only to a Windows OS. The only reason I was trying to connect it to my computer is you only can customize the button color (beyond the 5 colors they give you, red, amber, white, purple and blue?) if you connect your faceplate to a PC.
Other then those small complaints, this unit is great! The system starts up right away and I never have to wait it to start, and the iPod controls, although a bit confusing at first, make a good amount of sense and let you navigate through your music quite easily. The bluetooth function works great, from the few times I've used it. The "Sync Contacts" actually worked with my phone, which surprised me because I just have a LG env2.
And for those of you installing professionally, DO NOT GO TO BEST BUY! Best Buy was going to charge me $200 for installing this, and one of my local shops was going to charge me $160. Obviously I did not want to pay that much so I did a little more looking around and found a great shop that would do it for $85 and guarantee the work for a year (Cellular Universe in Gilroy, CA). So just make sure you don't get scammed by people charging that much...
And speaking of installing, its probably best to buy a dash installation kit and wire harness online too...
