The unit works well however there are a couple of things that is not noted in the manual. First thing is that it does support both XM and HD radio. However as I found out it will only use ONE of them. So you can have either one but not both. This is a real shame and was quite disappointing. The second thing is you can use either a USB thumb drive or the IPOD cable but not both. This limitation is not as serious because if you leave the usb connector withing easy reach you can swap them as you need to. It still is a pain however. I wanted to connect the ipod cable and leave just the end that plugs into the ipod exposed. Now I have to have all 3 wires exposed and have to stop the car and switch them when I want to use a different device. All in all it is a good unit and I like it I just wish that these limitations had been made clear or better yet not had them to begin with. I also tried using a usb hub for the usb drive but it won’t read the device. A powered hub might work better but I don’t have one that will work in a car to test that.

I have had this head unit for about two weeks now. I LOVE IT. its just like the ones that are permanant touch screens but when you turn off the car it folds itself back up. Great when you are in a bad area!! The dvd feature is great. i pod dock is a plus and the sirius is killer. have not tried to use the blue tooth yet but if your intrested in this product buy it here!!! I paid $920 for mine in the store. You CANNOT pass this up. The touch screen is great! And I highly recommend getting it professionally installed. I tried but there is just way to many wires to figure out. BUY BUY BUY!!!
