The Pros:Screen is one of the largest you can get for a dashboard AV system. DVDs look great, picture is sharp and has good color contrast. Touchscreen is responsive and easy to work with while you're driving.
The Cons:Dashboard trim frequently interferes with the panel, will often need to make some modifications to the trim itself. Needs to be thoroughly tested right away, frequent issues within the first month.
