Sorry what I SHOULD have said was, MINE was very time consuming. I think maybe they made a batch of units that were slightly defective. Maybe VSX and mine were among them. The shop absolutely could not get it to stop changing sources when the horn was blown. I brought it back many times and they literally spent hours on it.
I too spent hours on trying to reconfigure it only to find out that when programming, one of those flashes you're supposed to count only after waiting a few seconds (I forget the programming sequences and exactly what I did it was so long ago). It was something about turning the key on and waiting for the flashing to stop 2 secs before attempting programming. Anyway Mike, at any rate, VSX and I definitely have different units and we dont know what you have so what might've been easy for you, may be a little trickier in our application.

Thx guys for the feedback.
 Im now looking at 2 option to fix the sun glare problem. 1. Getting a tempory cover above the screen that clips in/out when required to provide shade for the screen. This is the cheapest way. Might not be the most pretty  .2. Changing over to a single din unit with fold out screen. Most single din screen allows u to tilt the screen forward and back. So if the sun hit the screen, during the day, I can just adjust it more verticle to avoid the sun. This is going to quite expensive. BTW, is there any other way for the instument cluster to display date, time etc without factory head unit? My installer said the only way is to plug the unit back in and hide the MID in the glove box. Not going to be easy....

I've got a motorized single din in my M5 and 740iL, they work quite well. The MID will still work even if it's not plugged in, but then you won't be able to do certain things like set the time, date, reset your MPG averages, etc. I relocated mine to the glovebox, it was very easy and only took 5 wires to do so.
