CBRF4i Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I dont own one, but i have installed a couple and can give my little personal break down on them In most cases, if your intention is to keep a stock look and feel, this head unit does that nicely. There are no shiny knobs or flashy display. You get a very basic look. . . and the installation is about as straight forward as it can get. blue tooth function is nice, you can pair up your phone to it. It does have a mic, so its essentially hands free speaker phone. and it will automatically pair it when you enter the car. Sometimes, it can be a pain in the ass to get them to pair together though. Once you get it. It seems to work fine. The big complaint i have is that although the iPod function is there which is always a bonus, its slow as hell navigating through it on the head unit. Especially if you have a lot of songs loaded to it. 2 volt pr-eouts is a bummer for someone like me, but if you are not planning on running any high current sub amps to it.. . . then it will wont be a factor. If you do plan to, then a line driver may be in your future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosoxfan1 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 mount the mic on the clip just above the drivers side window next to your head. as far as the usb port, i dont think its a powered port. Its just to read thumb drives dont know about ur dash cubby well i installed it yesterday and it looks awesome. i did lose my cubby which makes me sad but oh well the stereo looks so good who cares haha. while installing it i was worried id have to go through the firewall to hook it up which i didnt want to do but i ended up running all the wires to the glove box by wires i mean the microphone and the usb port. by the time i was done installing it i was pretty exhausted so i didnt get to play with it much but what i did get to try out is sweet. hopefully ill have time to sync up my phone today or tomorrow.
