In case I ever changed radios + this one was FREE (explanation in this post).

Doesn't look bad but build quality is obviously questionable. Thanks for the work installing, posting up the vids and review.

Nice! It's all there. Thank you for the great write up and the videos. This kit was worth waiting for.

Great job Scosche. And if you want another how to step by step write up, you can send me one too. I would be happy to help.

I will be upgrading when funds allow. Right now I am bummed at the poor and buggy stock ipod interface. Now to pick the best all around reasonably priced head unit.....

I'll wrap it in carbon fiber.

Definitely want to see that.

I can tell you with the Avicz130bt the volume does not work with Steering controls.

Well crap. That's not what I want to hear. I have a 120BT that I wanna use this kit with. Hmmm...

I'd have to give it a 2 out of 5. Falling apart like that is not acceptable. Not having onstar......

for the price they are asking and the amount of time it took to be released....these should be non issues. I'm gonna just wait too. Maybe in two years they will have the kinks worked out

well op, enjoy it and rest assured your getting your money's worth! Lol

Scosche, I'm disappointed. Yes you made a product that's innovative and creative, but right now the quality is lacking. I'd recommend getting those issues taken care of pretty quickly.

SS Drifter · 01-25-2012, 09:19 PM

Sounds like they still have some bugs to work out. Hope they do it soon since my Metra display is going bad.

It looks like there was still a lot of plastic molding flash on edges. Perhaps cleaning that up would improve the fitment?

Another less than perfect kit IMHO. If GM would get it together with a standard DDIN stereo we wouldn't need to deal with these issues.

Rcfiddy1 · 01-25-2012, 09:28 PM

Seems I might just have a bum unit. The volume did work for a few minutes but the whole scosche kit went dead about 45 mins later. Send it back for replacement.

OHIOSS · 01-25-2012, 09:51 PM

Dang guys that isn't what I wanted to hear. It takes to much work to install the kit, I can't believe you would have to take it back out. How soon are they going to ship you a replacement?

I have one on order, I may just hold on to it and not install it after what you guys responded.

Rcfiddy1 · 01-25-2012, 10:27 PM

Yes it does take a bit of work. I have had to remove this unit 3 times already and now I have to wait for a replacement. I hope to get the email with return label sooner than later.

Hamilton2400 · 01-26-2012, 06:42 AM

No problems what so ever out of mine

Agree....Does the Metra Have onstar, still beat the Stock
