OK folks the much anticipated videos are here:

Menus
7" dual din Radio navigator etc Chinese No-label Brand - YouTube

Some Music
CIMG3440 - YouTube

My Impressions so far:

-Everything works fine although I have not started customizing menus and such to see the extent of its hackability to enhance and customize it.

-I noticed the USB menu when playing songs lists the Artists name but not the song name. In the quick list there is some Chinese text in the view so the menu software needs an update perhaps (Not sure if that is possible, but its a minor nuisance).

-No menu lag and the resolution is great, no complaints.

-Multitasking Navigation and music/video etc is great with PIP as well

-All the option to hookup electronics either through BlueTooth or wires is great.

I have not figured out if the speaker connections need to go to the seperate speaker wires or the Audio Line In phono jacks.

I have tried the speaker wires and I pick up some alternator whine that you can hear when the music is off, so I will switch to the shielded Audio Line In phono plugs.

I have yet to figure out a mount rack but have some ideas, for now I wedged in some towels to hold things in place so I can drive around with it.

I found that the system will NOT work without my Equalizer so I just preset it and it fits behind the shelf tray if you make a slight mod on the back of the tray;

It is easy to pull the tray and change the setting this way if they need a change.

Saw out a little triangle of plastic on both sides of the shelf and the Equalizer will fit behind it.


PS: The 6 CD Changer can be unplugged and everything still works, but do remember to remove your CD's before removing it.....oooops.
