If i'm spending a grand on something, i want it to be more polished then those were. Obviously my expectations are lower if the HU was in the $5-600 range.
I've read all 10 pages of posts so far, even the rather unhelpful but partly amusing flame war, and have a few questions.
-Is there any way you can show us a picture of the connections on the back?
-Is the unit capable of displaying a rear view camera when shifted into reverse(or at all)?
-What video file types are supported? I'm kind of a media whore and have just about everything, .avi, .mkv, .mp4 ect.(i'm assuming HD video would be pushing things a bit)
-There was mention in a previous post about possibly needing an amp, was that part of the battle or is that something that needs to be addressed?
-How does the sound quality compare to the OEM HU?
I really don't care about it being "only" 2.2/2.3 as long as it runs NAV/video/music/BT calling/camera, i'll be happy.

-i don't have this particular unit in the car anymore. I'm running the ca-fi 621000 right now. I can grab pictures of that if you want.
-Yes. It has a rear camera input as well as various other inputs and outputs for both video and sound.
-Ummmm, I'm not sure. On the Adayo, probably whatever stock Froyo supports. You could always load an app that has more compatibility. I played 720p MP4's without issue.
-CarPC's need an amp. These units do not. They have an internal 45wx4 amp if you wanted to output directly to speakers.
-My stock BRZ unit had very low volume (Even turned up). So I'm going to say this is better. Quality wise, I didn't analyze the stock unit enough to pick up how it handles different frequencies. Also I replaced the speakers at the time of the head unit so it would be an unfair comparison.
Hope this helps!
