Personally, I've been looking at this unit for awhile. I still would be very skeptical about purchasing one and certainly would not like to be one of the fist 1000 or so. Quality and pictures can lie as well as performance. Just don't get overexcited and be careful. There is a thread with almost 90 posts discussing this particular head unit. Check it out.

I still need proof of reliability. I've sold and installed stereo units for over 20 years, and unless the failure rate is less than 1% (hopefully it's .05%), the company will need to do more R & D. Don't just buy a unit because it looks good and has a lot of features. Looks don't mean squat if the unit doesn't work well or breaks down. I agree it looks good, but I'm still skeptical. It's kinda like a new model car. Never buy the first year till the bugs are worked out. JM2C.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
I would like to upgrade to something like this, but really wish they had one available with the function of the BC and DSP compatibility etc. I just don't want the audio project of adding the amps needed to run all the speakers and wiring it all up right etc.
