Does anyone have the Clarion CX501 2 din head unit in their 370? I'd like some opinions on it and some photos if anyone has them. Basically want to make sure it works well with the rest of the dash and doesn't look really out of place before I purchase.

Yes, I have had it for a few months. It works very well and looks nearly factory with the lighting color adjusted to match the dash......see it here...

I have it also, and love it! Works perfectly. Handsfree bluetooth, USB, MP3, bluetooth streaming with iPod and Pandora.

Only issue I had was with the steering wheel controls, but that was an issue with the Metra Axxess. (was changing source/volume randomly on it's own) But a firmware upgrade fix that and now it works 100% !!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input! I'll keep the Metra Axxess in mind also.

I have this head unit sitting in a box unopened in my house right now. I just got all my stereo components from Wicked CAS and am going to get it all installed hopefully in a few days. I'll get back to you about everything

If you bought the Axxess the past few months it will come with the updated firmware and should work out the box...
