Oh yeah it also fails to start up randomly and freezes at the most important times and reverts to chinese language when it feels the need to and sometimes when you select an option it goes to whatever option it wants and bluetooth has never worked as it suppose to.

NEVER AGAIN
I still have one of these - uninstalled, and in it's box on a shelf in my garage. Remarkably, the only thing that works reliably is the TV tuner, but only SD channels, and only when the car is stopped. BT is intermittent, CD player sometimes plays with no sound. Radio does the same! So took it out, and installed a JVC (minus the GPS and TV), and it has been flawless.
