Long story short at the end of november i caught a pos theif in my garage. I chased him and caught him till the police came. He damaged the unit that was in my ford explorer, flip out dvd, so it gave me an excuse to upgrade the radio. I put in the new sony unit. Will post pics tomorrow.
So far the unit is cool. . I just sold my f90 so the z130 will go in the f150 when they release.. If anyone wants to purchase some jl10w3v3 let me know. I have an add in classifieds.

 

Sorry to hear about the theif; even more sorry to hear you let the sack of dog **** live....

 

I jabbed him with a bat a couple of times. Its funny the cops said the same thing. All that pos got was probation and has to pay restitution. A few years ago I would have called my friends and not the cops!!!

 

Too bad you didn't split his head with it...nice sig pic!

 

Thanks. I wanted too. The wife was there yelling.l must be calming down. Im 33 now

 

I almost just bought that same unit but I ended up getting a Kenwwod DNX7140 instead, last years model so price was quite a bit cheaper. The Sony looked really good though.

 

Is that your wife in your avatar? I can't keep my eyes away. I don't want to miss it when she eventually pops those suckers out. haha

 

hows that thing treating you I was looking at the same unit. I was reading that alot of people didnt like the interface, said sony could have made it alot smoother...

 

See next post...

 

Update: After running this unit for awhile now I have to say its the best bang for the buck. The surround sound and time alignment are excellent. The tomtom nav is spot on and customizable. The Ipod works great. Streaming pandora or music player via bluetooth from the droid x is the best sound. The quality is better than a cd.. The sirius radio interface is the only complaint. I called sony and they are working on an update since they kinda messed up on the ui for sirius radio. Too plain and almost un-usable. Beyond that the radio is excellent. They designed it simple on purpose and it took time for me to get accustomed to it. Recommend this unit due to sound and price point.

 

how about a pic of it installed?

 

I recently installed this unit the other day based off of some good reviews and love it so far. I haven't hooked up any USB devices, or a back up camera yet but I have been using Bluetooth audio from my EVO and it works awesome.

It took me a little while to get used to the menu layout, but I am certainly enjoying it so far. I haven't been able to configure the sound to hit as low as it was with the factory unit, but all other sound comes through clear and sounds awesome so I guess that's OK. The navigation is pretty good too, but I haven't tested it for turn by turn to somewhere I haven't been before.

Langlowe, I'll try and snap a pic of it tomorrow when it's light out and show you how it looks. I got a pretty decent fit with a Metra dash kit, but wasn't able to get it totally flush as it needs some room to swivel out and eject/insert discs.
