Installation: 5 stars

I got this in the mail last night and it took be about an hour to install. It came with a wiring harness that plugged right into my existing wiring, so there was no wiring requiring. In that time I was able to get the GPS, blue tooth, wheel controls and the optional rear camera working, set the radio stations ect...

Sound Quality: 5 stars

The sound is crisp and clear. There are a lot of settings and adjustments to help you fine tune the sound, including surround sound settings and nice graphic for adjusting the phase settings.

Interface: 5 stars

The touch screen is bright and responsive, the menus and settings are intuitive and this controls are extremely usable. I didn't have to read the manual to figure out how to use any of it.

GPS: 5 stars

Driving around with the GPS on, and my wife in the car with me, we noticed that the arrow indicating where we are on the map was parallel to the landmarks we were passing as we were passing them. Every other GPS I have used has been off by about 50 feet or so. I love that the map data is on an easy to access SD card and be updated.

Features: 4 Stars

This literally does more than I will ever need it to do. You can watch DVD's, it has TV option, GPS, blue tooth etc... I would like to see an app for ODBII but that's just being nit picky. I only give this 4 stars because I do not think it will play MP3s from a DVD only from CD.

Notes: the only note I have is that the sub-woofer toggle switch does not seem to be working, but I am still looking for a setting for that.

Just got it today and installed it in 20mins. Very simple! I'm giving it 4 stars because I wasn't able to get the OE subwoofer to work. I'm going to contact the manufacture and hopefully they have good customer service. If I figure it out I will definitely change to 5 stars. No regrets though. Looks awesome and everything works as advertised.

I have now changed my rating from 4 stars to 5. Great unit! OEM subwoofer works now. Customer service did respond to me.

Best Deals for OEM Replacement DVD 7" Touchscreen GPS Navigation Unit For Toyota

I spent half a day installing this unit in my 2008 FJ Cruiser.

When done, it had several problems, my factory sub did not work, steering wheel controls did not work, factory Aux input did not work meaning my XM radio would have been useless to me, it would not accept a CD or DVD kept spitting them out, the Bluetooth would not connect to my android or my wife's iPhone, there is no way to control the subwoofer, and the sound controls are really not comparable to any DVD Nav unit I have ever owned, not good...

There is no installation manual or install instructions, not even a basic wiring schematic, horrible.

I wish I hadn't wasted my time.

Don't let the add fool you, it is NOT plug and play!!!! Good luck if you have a backup camera or other items that you would typically refer to the directions for... I did install a backing camera.....

I'm returning and buying something else, Pioneer? Kenwood?

I have installed dozens of complete custom systems with amp banks, crossovers, capacitors, multiple cameras and auxillary alternator and aux battery systems, there is definitely not installer error involved with this install.

Buyer beware..... It is not quality....

Honest reviews on OEM Replacement DVD 7" Touchscreen GPS Navigation Unit For Toyota

First off I want to say I am happy I purchased this DVD / Nav system it is really nice. It would have been better if it came with opperating and installation instructions but can be figured out. The product is made in China and my FJ in Japan so a little play on words OEM Replacement ?. Doese not come with GPS DVD and make sure you research where to locate the GPS antenna on your vehicle for install for best reception. Other then that I would reccomend good buy for the money.

This unit offers a good navigation system at a fair price but there are trade-offs when replacing the OEM base unit.

Pros

Easy installation. It is pretty simple and it needs to be. The supplied documentation has no details for installation. I used Youtube to determine how to replace the OEM unit. I also noticed some issues early into installation. There are many connections from the OEM unit that are not used. Lost functionality. Once installed set-up is simple.

The navigation system works great. It is very programmable with many options. I have used it for one month without any issues.

The sound on the audio system is also very good. It has several settings and can be programmed for your taste. I am pleased with the quality of sound on the system.

DVD you can play DVDs on this unit.

Cons

Documentation it doesn't exist. No documentation for installation. Very poor documentation (in English) for operation. The translation for the documentation that accompanied the unit was almost unrecognizable as English. It is good that operations are intuitive for the unit.

Form and fit This unit is not angled as the OEM unit is, As such you do not get a good perspective on the screen. You cannot see the top of the screen from the driving position. The unit does look nice in the dash whether on or off.

No support. There is supposedly support for the navigation software at Naviextras.com. However this unit is not listed as an option on their website. The SimpleSoft website is also no help for support. Expect to be completely on your own with this unit once purchased.

Radio reception has a reduced quality vs. OEM.

Lost functionality. This is the most disappointing aspect of this unit. I was very surprised at the number of lost functions with this unit vs. the OEM system. Satellite radio none. This function is lost. Bluetooth functionality. You can sync a phone. You are limited to calling only not voice activated. You can answer calls by touching the unit or call by touching the unit or your phone. NO HANDS FREE. You cannot use your phone as a BT connected MP3 player. This is a big downside to this unit. The only music options are CD (only one!), DVD/CDs with MP3 recordings, IPOD connected via the cable or the broadcast radio. There is a cable with a USB port but there doesn't seem to be any connectivity or functionality with this cable. It will charge a phone.

The only steering wheel functions that continue to work are the volume control, the Mode button and the channel/track up and down buttons. Voice activated and phone buttons are no longer of use.

The in-dash USB port and headphone input port are disabled when you remove the OEM unit,

Summary

This is a fairly priced in-dash navigation system with good options. The navigation works well. The audio system has limited options. Some of the most desirable options (satellite radio and Bluetooth music) do not exist. If hands-free options are important to you avoid this unit. There are none. If I had to spend the money again on an OEM replacement unit I would keep shopping.
