I have installed the unit. works great. had some issues in the beginning but i figured it all out. finished the install last night and as the radio is advertised it works just like it was shown in other videos online. I have a few pictures of the unit installed and I have a picture of the old setup with the metra faceplate install. the buttons feel more oem than the metra buttons feeling sticky or stuck sometimes. I really like how the unit is designed and works. audio has instant startup from last player being used ie, radio or music player while the radio is still booting you have music playing. I have the backup camera installed aswell and the quality of the backup camera is good. sound quality is like oem radio quality. I am still using the factory boston acoustic am and all the speakers too. I will have a video later on as I get used to the radio and figure out all the settings and apps. the brightness of the screen is pretty bright but can be adjusted in the settings to be darker. for now I am satisfied with the radio but as I said need to go through all the settings and apps and setup the radio to my liking before I make a video. I had to install one app from the app store that starts up automatically at startup because some apps force the screen to rotate as they do on android phones. that was the only things I had to do so far. the one installed from factory has to be opened manually each time the radio starts up. also one downfall when sitting in the driver seat the oil pressure gauge is partially blocked by the left dial knob on the radio because the unit is bigger than factory. also the steering wheel buttons function like factory.
