How do you like it? Anything you don't like? Anything you wish it had?

The unit itself is great but only after you purchase and install the Software Update and POIs. Sound quality is fantastic. Navigation functionality is average; not as good as some of the installed systems out there but it gets the job done.

Getting it to fit was a major pain. I had to trim down the double-din install kit to make it work. Lots of time with the Dremel but I'm happy with the results in the end. I also added some Pioneer 6x8 speakers (front and rear).

Can you stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth with it?

Would have been a great feature but for under $200 I wasn't expecting it to do everything.

I do like that it has a USB port on the back. I've got an 8GB USB Drive in the glovebox connected to it. It plays MP3s flawlessly.
