You can't get to some basic features and it can cause a lot of headaches.

You're not kidding on this. Some of them lock out basic functions like putting in an address for the GPS. It is particularly aggrevating because most of the time when I'm using the NAV I have a second person in the car doing the work. Unfortunately a lot of them use speed and not a parking brake lock now.
Great write-up @
TheLaughingMan. I've used the Crutchfield harnesses on the last couple of installs I've done. They are real time-savers and much cleaner.
