Clarion 702

Update - So I ended up really not liking the look of this head unit.... loved the interface and everything but it just looked like someone just threw it in there with no trim or anything, kinda took away from the mint / oem look of it that i prefer. I ended up uninstalling everything and making everything factory again. The sound was awesome, and I miss it, so might considering getting an amp with speaker wire inputs later on. IMO - If you like the factory / well fit look, dont get this unit, it sticks way out as seen in the pictures and the trims dont fit it. Also, not a huge fan of the touch screen only options, most of the commands were at the bottom of the screen near the volume sensor and it was frustrating that every time i went to hit a command i'd also touch the volume button, but maybe thats just me vs. touch screens. Overall a great HU for the money, includes easy to use GPS and other features.

There are PLENTY of choices out there buddy, you do not need to throw the entire idea of an aftermarket head unit out the window. Kenwood I recommend looking into.

Fixed.
Why trash the clarion due to some minor install miscues that are more than likely operator error??? Get yourself a dash kit, take a deep breath, and take your time re-installing. You can Do this!
