Those of you in the industry that happen to be attending the Spring MERA show, we have a truck there with this gear installed. A couple forum members will be receiving sample kits early next week and I will leave it to them to post reviews and first impressions. Here are some actual pictures and screen shots. To connect these, you simply connect the wires from your radio to the back of the port and plug your device into the front. The kit is stunning with exact match factory controls, radio placement high in the dash, and a cool pocket with USB, HDMI and 3.5mm ports flush mounted into it. Lastly, there is the option for using built-in Near Field Communication (NFC. This is also a marine-grade receiver, with additional moisture and UV protection to ensure durability. In addition, you can operate your climate control using BOTH the controls in the dash kit and the on-screen climate control buttons. If the goal of upgrading the stereo is to build out a booming sound system, the Sony stereo has 2-volt RCA pre-amp outputs to support the addition of an amplifier. When you use it with a Kenwood or Alpine compatible radio you also get performance gauges, tire pressure monitoring, check and reset engine codes, and back up camera/visual parking assist.

When you use it with a Pioneer compatible radio ( ) you get the above plus the retention of Sync for calling and as an additional USB port/media player.

When used with a non-iDatalink compatible radio, you cannot retain Sync, but you can retain steering wheel controls and back up camera (if camera image shown on 4.3 inch screen). This solution can be used with any 2DIN radio (and 1DIN too, but we don't provide any way to close up the other half of the hole).
