[QUOTE="mvw2, post: 2921507, member: 574722"] Ok, after getting my Ural and using it for a little while, I think I'm happy enough to let my JVC KD-AR8500 go. I'll get some pics up soon. I kind of wanted to make a user video but my camera wasn't working well with the display. I'd have to do it on a sunny day just to not have the screen show way overly bright.
