Lots of features / Steep Learning curve

Verified Purchase:Yes
Jury is still out on whether or not this unit is everything it says it is. The price was higher than other units with the same feature set, but that was supposed to be for the name brand of Garmin GPS/Nav system. That has been the most troublesome part of this unit. The Nav system takes forever to find and sync with GPS Sats everytime you turn the vehicle on. The Audio quality is very good on the HD radio,CD and Bluetooth streaming. Lots of options for Iphone/Ipod integration (with an optional $30 cable. Works with a Remote Control - but that's another option that costs $50. So far the Bluetooth Handsfree for the Telephone seems to work well. Others have complained about the audio quality of the microphone, but I have not experienced that yet on the people that I have called.
The user interface is not very intuitive - and had me pushing button after button, going in circles, trying to find a setting. Good thing I connected it to the OEM Steering wheel controls so I can change Music sources/channels,and volume up/down without having to take my attention off the road.

Use this steering wheel control interface to retain steering wheel functions when replacing the radio in your vehicle. The interface is USB updatable to ensure you have the most up-to-date inventory.

Best way to keep OEM Steering wheel controls

Followed the directions for installing in an F150 pickup - connected a few wires and it recognized the new Kenwood head Unit - Automatically programmed itself - and retained all the factory Steering wheel button functions that the truck had from the factory. Perfect solution.

Safely back up your vehicle with the help of this Metra BBBPC back-up camera, which delivers a 170° viewing angle to help you see obstacles behind you. The camera mounts easily above your vehicle's license plate for simple installation.

Good option to add backup camera

Backup camera was easy to mount with the built in license plate frame. Its perfect for a pickup truck, where the necessary wires are present in the wiring harness for the trailer lights. The power wires for this camera are very small and delicate. Extreme care is needed to get a good connection and weather seal everything that is connected at the back of the vehicle. Picture quality is pretty good in daylight - and fair at night with the reverse lights illuminating the area. The camera comes with colored grid lines to help judge distance - but these can be turned off by cutting one of the really thin wires on the camera end of the cable.
