I haven't peeled the screen protector off yet so I'm not sure if it's glass, but I doubt it. It's a matte screen and while I haven't used it yet nothing I'm seeing leaves me worried about glare.

Thanks for the info on shipping. I think I may just go ahead and buy one too for my son, although it is a Christmas present and may not be installed for another month or so. I was going to get the GA6166F but apparently they just discontinued that model and replaced it with the GA6166X that you have. They did tell me the only difference is the X model has the 5.5m extended harness, which I actually don't need, but everything else is identical.
Just a heads up about cutting the OEM radio bracket, AVIN USA posted an install guide for their unit (which appears to be identical to this unit in form/fit) so it may help with your install. Apparently you don't need to cut all the brackets and AVIN spells it out pretty well which to cut and which to leave alone. Here's the link to the pdf AVIN created...

Sounds great about the screen composition. The angle of the OEM radio/CD player is already tilted a bit upward so a matte screen will help minimize glare.
