Ill give you a more detailed review having owned it for about 2 months.
Most common complaint with people is screen washes out in direct sunlight - which is true but you wont get direct sunlight except in the early morning or late evening (at least thats what I find with tinted windows)
The menus are easy to navigate and it will search through a 8GB usb drive with relative ease. Its not perfectly fluid but isnt stupidly slow if you know what I mean. Most video formats play without a hitch, you will need to either buy or make a relay though if you want to bypass the Pioneer safety features. The "AppRadio" cable is an extra purchase (bought mine on amazon for $10). With there only being 1 USB port you have to swap between Appradio and USB drives. Usb splitters dont work.

Anything else you want to know just ask.

Parts:

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...a-40-LX11.html - antenna
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...a-95-8202.html - dash kit (requires modification to fit)
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...AX-TOYUSB.html - Keeps factory USB location
Amazon.com : CD-IU201S USB 2.0 Audio Video Adapter Cable for Pioneer iPod iPhone 3GS 4 4S : Electronics - cheap app radio cable (optional)
Amazon.com: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS Multimedia DVD Receiver with 7" Motorized Touchscreen Display: Car Electronics - good price on HU

You are the best! Thanx a bunch for all this info.

I actually ordered it last night through Amazon too

As far as the glare... I'm tinted about 10% all around, including front windshield tint.. Do you think i'll still have that glare?

Also, can I connect & charge my Droid to it?

I also wanted to run an USB/iPod connector from the back of the unit into my glove box so I can just have my iPod connect there always. Thats kind of what I did to my tC except he ran the wire into my middle console box.
