Well you know what's coming next then. It is now your duty to post LOTS AND LOTS of pics of the install process and the finished product.

I think you should consider getting the Scosche dash kit... It has a much tighter fit than the stock bezel.

This particular radio does not have a square shape but intead it has angles. There are no gaps between the radio and the bezel - its just the design of it.

You can't go wrong. Only issue with Bluetooth and phone is road noise...thinking about some serious sound deadening.

FREE! GTMat Automotive Sound Deadener

That should get you started with your sound dampening

A couple of questions for ROBONES:

Is that the stock bezel in your pictures?
How is the audio quality when making phone calls? This unit does not have an external microphone right?

robones · 10-11-2012, 01:33 PM

A video demonstration of the receiver in DJ mode. the lights illuminate based on bass frequencies and the receiver automatically transitions to the next song like a human DJ would. This setting is so amazing when you drive at night because your entire cabin lights up with different colors! The people outside always get freaked out because of all these lights going off inside my car!

To answer "speedracer's" questions: Yes, its the stock bezel. The phone quality is outstanding. There is almost no road noice for callers who call me. Additionally, the receiver does come with an external microphone. The installer installed it right above my rear view mirror, center of the cabin. I believe he did it this way to reduce/eliminate road noice during phone calls. The calls are very clear. Another cool feature, the radio lights up like 4th of July when a call is coming in. (you can change the settings, how fast, the lights illuminate ect.

When you select Bluetooth as a source, you can pass the audio from your phone to the receiver, so if you are using your phone as GPS, you will hear the directions through your speakers. Applications, music, anything that has audio, can be transfered to the receiver.

AGAIN ALL FOR $150.00 DOLLARS! you cannot beat it!

Anytime! You will definitely enjoy your receiver

speedracer007 · 10-11-2012, 02:54 PM

Thanks for the quick response!!!

Any chance you can share a picture of the external microphone? I am thinking of doing this install myself and will need to determine how to run the wire up there (right after I hit enter on this I will do a "Search"

)
