Since KV12 has so many posts in this thread, I am going to hijack this a little for us Canadians. First of all thanks for all the good info.
I am debating getting this HU, sounds good from all the reviews. KV12, judging by some of your maps you are in the GTA (404 and Steeles, drive past there everyday), just wanted to ask you 2 questions. One, how is your GPS reception? Two, from what I saw in this thread, looks like you can only have one antenna wire hooked up for FM, how is your FM recpetion (I know, I know, who wants FM when you have this unit)?
Actually 1 more, you said your Ipod stopped working? Are you talking about the front connector? I heard this cable isn't great quality. I only ask because, before I started debating this unit, I ordered the GROM ipod adaptor. So if I do get this, from what I am reading, it should still work through the CD Changer, might be an option for you if the ipod is important to you.
Amended: I overlooked your "GPS HARDWARE" comment, you say reception is "good", from where you placed your antenna. In this case my question is, do you connect right away? Is it spotty? Would you be able to compare to example a Garmin NUVI unit (which I currently use).
