    The sound is MUCH better than the factory unit. You can hear a lot more detail in the music, and it sounds more "3D" than the original unit. The output is much higher as well, no more cranking it up to "Max" just to get a decent volume level! Bass response is a lot better as well. I'm surprised at how low the stock speakers can go.

    It was priced at $199 on NewEgg.com so I ordered it. Then a few days later the price went up to $299. Not sure why, maybe the "$199" was a typo and they honored it. Its still definitely worth $299 though!

    Sumbitch that looks great! I had it in my cart and didnt have the guts to pull the trigger as I couldnt find any reviews on it on the entire net other than the small few at Crutchfield. Made up my mind to buy a few hours later and the price had changed lol.

    Great snag bud...enjoy!

    I just received mine and the build quality looks great. I haven't installed it yet but it looks to be a heck of a deal at $299 as well.

    Looks great! How are the iPod controls? Easy to scroll through artists if you have a large library? I'm not familiar with the touch screen units like this but would imagine its a lot easier then my single din pioneer unit that I have now. It's a real pain in the ass to scroll through with that thing.

    How is the unit working out? I am thinking about getting it. Does it work with the steering wheel controls?

    Yes, it has steering wheel control functionality. Unfortunately, my Taco doesn't have steering wheel controls!
    I love the head unit, I don't have any major complaints. Unbeatable deal at $200!
