Installed recently is my Clarion deck along with Soundstream amps, 10in sub installed in the first aide box with USB and iPod connections for music. No more CD player. I have albums all on one 8 gig USB stick and I'm not even near full.

Did the bypass mod so that I can play dvd for the kids while driving. No I don't watch. Really... I don't. Unit has USB video that i have not used. Bluetooth cell and music integration. Rear video camera. GPS. Pandora, HD radio, Satellite Radio... utilizing oem speakers as they are pretty damn decent.

Lots of sound. Tons of bass if I want it. Very discreet.

I like! But I don't like the fact the screen blocks the console buttons. How it that working out?

It's give and get my friend. And unless I need it open for GPS it stays closed. And if it's open it doesn't get in the way. How much do need to manipulate those buttons. Not much.

Overall, very pleased.

All things being equal, chicks tend to really dig the fold-out screens. I have such installed on my 560SEL and they tend to flock.
 
I am thinking about none of these for mine, just wondering if I can put up with the Flip up screen "In the way" so to speak.... I might use the GPS side of it

Calspeed - how tough was the install? did you put the Soundstream Amps in the same place as the Becker and what power level are they?

Not difficult if you know car audio install. But difficult because I'm not as flexible as I was 30 years ago. I have the amplifier mounted under the rear deck.
