Not trying to pitch the AVIC (I don't work for Pioneer

But what I like very much on the AVIC-F is that it has on "old style" knob to adjust volume and not these stupid pain-in-the-ass "+" and "-" buttons.
Also have a look at the pictures in my post and look at the piano black bezel around the unit...
I agree with other posters that I would shy away from no-name units.
And yes I also agree that I should have gone for the top of the line AVIC-F 900 instead of the cheaper 700 that the "Scrooge" inside me convinced me to get
