Sorry for no imediate pics. I took picks when I got it, no clue where they went, so I'll have to take more. I've got the HU at school and the box at my bro's, so I won't be able to get pics till the weekend.
The HU is in great condition, only very, very minor scratching on the face from standard use, no gouges or anything. It's clean and in 100% working condition. I have all the original hardware and documentation minus one remote(black one) and the mic.
This is the demo unit that Ben from Elemental Designs used for about a week or two in his demo car till he realized people spent too much time figuring out how to use the HU and not enough time listening to the system.
I've already talked to him about the mic, and he hasn't been able to find it. I have yet to just pick up another decent mic from somewhere.
The remote was my fault. I left it on the roof of the car when I took it for a test drive after working on it. I heard some clunking on the roof and then nothing... I found it, but it was shattered into a few pieces. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ...never did find the batteries, lol. Anywho, it comes with two to begin with, and the unit itself is not bound to any specifc remote. Any IR device will work with the unit, and there's a full setup menu to assign any function to any key on any remote/IR device(could even be a PDA, PC, etc.). It's a neat concept, but I never went around looking for kick *** remotes for it, just started using the second one after I sent the first to the pavement at 50mph.
If you've been looking at this HU already, you should have a decent idea of what it has for features, however, a rundown of what I can think of off the top of my head:
Modes: 5.1 surround or 2-way/3-way active
EQ: independent EQ(10band or 30band) for each channel in 5.1 mode or independent left and right EQ(10band or 30band) in 2-way/3-way mode(similar to the Pioneer P880PRS), radio is limited to 10band only.
Independent dB control of every channel in 0.5dB increments(-12dB to 0dB)
Ch1,2 / Ch3,4 / Ch5,6 highpass, bandpass, lowpass control, -12dB/-24dB slope, and full frequency control from 20Hz to 20kHz for all.
Mutiplexer: any channel can be assigned to any output
Inverter: any channel can be independently inverted in polarity
Stereo imaging control: mono(0.00) to 1.00(stereo) to I think 2.00 stereo multimplyer for Ch1,2 / Ch3,4 / Ch5,6
Filters: high frequency noise filter (more/normal/less), stereo filter (more/normal/less), um...something else I can't think of at the moment.
Time Alignment: independent TA for every channel in about 1/2cm increments
Test tone generator: Outputs tones(Sine, Square, or Triangle waves) at any frequencys from I think 10Hz to 20kHz with fully adjustable dB level from -60dB to 0dB.
CD player plays mp3s, Ogg Vorbis, I assume a couple other formats like WMA and such. Output quality sounds squeaky clean, zero noise.
Source leveling for each input device(Tuner, CD, etc.)
Onboard voltage sensor/display
Tuner has automatic search and preset which is neat. You can drive cross country and just do a search every so often and build a full preset of local stations on the fly automatically.
Support of naming information on tuner and CDs, radio station, band/album stuff, if available.
Brightness/contrast control for the display. I want to say it auto dims too... It's one of those things you forget about after owning it for a while.
There's a bunch of other stuff I'm missing, but that's most of the main stuff you'll generally use.
There's a couple other, good threads with pics of the case, hardware, and unit:

The unit looks nice in-car. The menus are easy to read and work with.
People say the "6 axis" button is intuitive and works quite well. The lack of buttons bugs me. I've fiddled with it a tiny bit but pretty much went straight to the remote right away and stuck with that. I never really gave the 6 axis button much of a chance. I've used it a little and it is slick when things work and you think you're doing it right. The manual doesn't help tell you what does what. Do you press and hold here or double tap, or press/hold/turn left, etc. There's a lot of functionality in that one button, if you figure out how to use it. I just went for the remote early on and stayed there.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif I know this is a deterent for a lot of people. It really shouldn't be. A little time with it will yeild good results, and if you're lazy or don't want to learn, there's always the remote, any remote you've got. The remote's also a good place to start just to get a feel for the menus and functionality.
Oh and don't worry about the right side volume knob. It's really a non-issue once you start using it.
