OK, I broke down today, and after playing with the display unit for a while bought one. I bow to Zadam 123 for doing it first.
Installation is only slightly more complicated than a regular HU. There is a hideaway interface box that I put under the passenger seat, and the extra cable for the gps antenna to run, but thats all.
BTW, connect parking brake wire to ground, and you can watch dvd at any time, not only while parked.
I have the Pioneer camera on order, so I can't comment on that yet.
GPS: Excellent! I have a Garmin Colormap, and this is much better, faster fill and response time, more accurate base map.
Redbook: The transport is still breaking in, but already I can tell its superior to the Clarion. Much more microdetail and resolution. I have a reclocked Wadia 20 at home, so I know what CD is capable of, and this is really good.
DVD-A: I played Santana - Shaman again, very good. Very forward sounding, but this may tone down as it burns in.
DVD-R: This player supports DVD-R, and handled my Damien Rice video with no stutters or freezes.
SACD: Not supported.
MP3: BOYCOTT! I won't even try. Its a supported media, but MP3 is so lossy I won't ever use it.
The rest of the system:
Alphacore Goerts Silver Microperl interconnects, Butler Tubedriver Blue 2150. braided cryo cat 5 speaker wire, Focal Utopia 3 ways in doors.
Subwoofer: JL 10W6 v2d4 in Decware Deathbox.
