[QUOTE="Quartersawn, post: 8673195, member: 676770"] I was so excited to play with it I forgot the golden rule: pics or it didn't happen! [ATTACH]5058._xfImport[/ATTACH] This was after about and hour of testing features befor I put the rest of the trim on. The mounting bracket face matches the other gloss black pieces very nicely. I was impressed. The odd shaped mounting bracket face looks alright. I wish there were options to have a bigger screen instead of the chunky mounting but beggers/choosers. Check out all those fingerprints. I will have to carry a cleaning cloth for this bad boy. Even after cleaning it can be dificult to see in direct sunlight. The display is pretty crisp and clear when in the shade or ing thr dark but glare is a big issue not easily solved by the mech tilt features. There is a viewing angle feature too that changes the contrast but that is more for if the HU is above a normal line of sight whereas my little car would need adjustments for below. Here are some shots I took as I pulled into work. Not the best pics cause I had to use flash. [ATTACH]5059._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5060._xfImport[/ATTACH] The sound improvement is drastic compared to the stock HU.
