Apart from having to put on the face of the stereo and take it off everytime I enter or leave the car, and the fact that it looks a bit.... because of the storage hole, then I am loving it. Trust me the standard stereo was so ****. just playing cds was pissing me off so bad. This one does the whole lot, plays mp3 cds, aux, wireless music streaming from my iphone, plus wireless handsfree for my phone and I can play the music through USB from my iphone while it charges and change the tracks with track list name on the screen. Plus better sound quality and so many equaliser type sound modification options. and has a remote, although never use it. but good to have. And its connected to my steering wheel controls which works wonders!!!

I wanted to connect it just under the AC controls with the storage shelf under the stereo, but the the stereo would not go all in because behind it there was some paneling which didnt allow it but at the bottom it gets more deeper.

Not enough room behind it huh, I assume that's why you didn't feel like attempting a double din screen install?

Wait...I see a bigger problem, your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car!!
