Customer Reviews:
Good stuff
Got this item last month and it rocks, can’t beat value & reliability for price. I do have a few little gripes.
Good:
This is a decent head unit with very good interface, screen clarity and DVD playback. Sound quality was very good considering I have no amp and I liked that sound options could be configured. I read reviews on other sites before buying and as advertised most of the functions worked. I was able to play DVDs, MP3 CDs, and regular CDs. The bluetooth worked ok for audio transfer (with Nokia 6230 & Blackberry Pearl), and handsfree mic sounded ok on receiving end. I like the piano black with brushed chrome look and feel. I did not install the backup camera, and did not get the tv tuner unit in time for the install, but the aux-in port works fine.
Gripes:
I haven’t gotten the ipod interface to work yet though - i currently have an Ipod nano (3rd gen). The Dual logo displays on the ipod, but the head unit keeps saying “connecting…” I think it may be a compatibility issue with the nano firmware version. Will check this out, but I can use the 3.5mm in jack as an alternative, and the nano does get charged using the ipod jack connection. I had to use a by-pass for the parkbrake - had a little trouble at first, but resolved this. Would have liked this unit to come with Divx and have more functionallity with the bluetooth - does not read call address book on blackberry pearl correctly. Tends to get warm quickly.
Overall:
This unit was professionally installed in a ‘04 “Corolla”. Installation was quick and almost pain free (by-pass to parking brake took some time - I do not live in a state with video restrictions). I would recommend this unit to any one. Its a good sturdy unit with lots of features, and I could not find another unit at lower price vs reliability concerns.
Dont waste your money or time
Well I just wanted an upgrade from my old monitor head unit, so I got this Dual one. The first one broke within the hour of my setup, the second made a loud noise and the fan was really loud, i was just listening to the radio it sounded like i was watching a movie for hours. This item is very cheap I doubt it last you more than couple of months. Just spend couple more dollars get something nicer.
Installed yesterday…..!!
We love this product. Outstanding. It was installed at Best Buy yesterday…..they did a great job and it works beautifully. We also like the blue tooth speakerphone/handsfree feature.
shipping and delivery went smoothly
