OP's link is to a ~$160 unit. My personal experience with these is that they really suck, and are NOTHING like the pictures in terms of picture/screen quality. Bluetooth connectivity issues are likely, Audio may have noise, RCA outs may be low volt and have noise, etc.

You get what you pay for. Of course, you may get lucky w/ a unit that is satisfactory, but the risk is high that you'll want to rip it out and replace it w/ something else within a week of use. IMO, these are just a gimmik for shady used car lots to put into a used car, and really not worth the effort.

Stock BRZ navi units are about $300... car mount for your cell phone is $15. I just use bluetooth of stock system and a car mount, control everything from my phone. No problems there.
