I think it is my turn to write a review on P-81ACRD unit.First off, I was so excited to find out after 4 years that there is such a unit that can replace a monitor in non-navi accords and look like OEM, unlike any other great known brands as Pioneer, JVC, Kenwood, etc. I have learned about this unit with thanks to driveraccord forum. The only other thing - I wish I learned about it earlier.Let me go to details now:I have 09 accord ex-l v6 and I have retained all features I had before: 6 disk changer works; controls on a wheel to adjust the sound level works (no need for adapter unlike in LX model), switching tracks and radio channels via wheel control works; changing radio from AM to FM, etc works via wheel control.I have installed rear view camera to this unit - the cheapest that is available on amazon, my friend who has OEM backup camera in his Honda Pilot was surprised that the quality was a way better that his one.If interested, here is the camera Waterproof Car Rear Vehicle Backup View Camera High-definition Cmos 170 Degree Viewing Angle E363 and it is under $16. I also got a cable for POWER ACOUSTIK IP-5C Full Function iPod Connection Cable for all INGENIX Multimedia Source Units and OEM Upgades.The only other thing that doesn't work via wheel control is control of your iPod/iPhone, only via touchscreen. No matter how you paired them: via cable or Bluetooth. FYI, I have iPhone 5 and there is no yet cables for it that works with any gadget - including P-81ACRD, so the only way to play my music on this unit is through Bluetooth and to my surprise I can control my tracks on iPhone 5 via touchscreen simply by clicking next track or previous - it works and that was a big surprise for me. I have iPod 2nd Gen and girlfriend uses iPhone 4s that works fine via USB cable.Let me jump to negatives now.First - Power Acoustik is not planning any firmware or software updates for this unit - it is developed once and that's it. This translates into - no plans to produce cables for iPhone 5 once Apple starts issuing licenses on its chip in that cable and discloses how to pass commands via that cable, and the other things that some other happy owners call "72 degree" issue - which is related to the fact that if you left air condition on when you turned off your car, no matter what temperature you have set it on - it will show you 72 degrees. But this doesn't bother me as of now yet, I kinda can live with it. I have a bigger issue with this unit - Bluetooth which was one of the main points I was looking for something like this unit. I have tired with my portable Bluetooth unit which I had to charge every 2 weeks and it became old so it won't auto-pair sometimes.The major issue with this unit's Bluetooth set up is that the sound level is set to "05" and everytime you want source to be louder to your car speakers, you have to set that level to "10" in order for it work well, the second choice is to make volume on your car system louder - but that would be a killing, because once your phone conversation ends and if you were listening to music - the sound would be so loud because you increased it just to listen your caller which will leave you deaf. So, what I have to do - is to reach out the touchscreen and press "+" sign 5 times to max out level of sound from the Bluetooth output. I called about this issue to Power Acoustik - they told me that I have to learn how to live with it, even though I mentioned that it is a simple change to their firmware. To me, it is a big surprise because I can listen the music from my iPhone via Bluetooth and sound level is adequate, I don't have to increase it anywhere - only in my car if needed, and when I keep the same level for my music and some calls me - I have hard time to hear them, unless I'm not driving and have to increase sound level of Bluetooth system, because again - if I'll increase volume on my car's system, once conversation is over - my music that was streamed via Bluetooth will make me deaf.The issue with Bluetooth is big for me, but still not that big so that I would go and install now Pioneer or JVC double DIN to my car. Will coupe with it and learn how to live as if I knew that there was a choiceNavi - fair enough - not the best, it uses TomTom software, POI to my surprise are good - helped me to find Starbucks, but doesn't know about one of the ToysRUS stored in my neighborhood - but that's not biggie to me since I can find anything I want on my iPhone. I need Navi sometimes just to get me home when I choose some routes due to the detours caused by closed roads or traffic which it does, Garmin still showed me better routes and 3D views are better on Garmin than on this unit - but all in all - it works fair and will take you where you need to, it is pretty fast to build a route and if you missed a turn to re-build a new route for you. Remember, it uses 700Mhz processor that is fast enough to do any of the calculations and very responsive. If I park my car outside - it locks in satellites instantly, but when I park in underground garages and come out of them - it is hunting for the satellites for 2-5 mins sometimes - but it also depends on where are satellites are as well I think at that time. FYI: I called to Power Acoustik and asked them about map updates - don't expect them even though TomTom releases newer map updates for 3rd party users (like us in that case); maps come on 4Gb SD card that you insert into card reader - mine stays there, I have no plans to insert another SD card into it, unless I will learn how to make a copy of their protected SD card so it works with the unit and then may be will listen music and watch movies from SD card. If you want to buy SD Card with maps because something happened to your SD card - it is $90.All in all, I like that unit because:1. It looks like OEM2. I was able to plug a backup camera into it so no need to upgrade to 2013 accord where they come standard on any model (saved at least $12.5K if traded in)3. Unit has navi with POI4. It has Bluetooth that I don't need to recharge and it does pairs automatically with my iPhone.5. Can stream my music via BT or plug into iPodThat was my review from my point of view, I hope it helps. I really like the unit, though I bought it cheaper from ebay new - for $520, with SquareTrade warranty - it is transferable, which is a big plus if you will be selling your car - you can transfer your warranty to the new owner - mine is for 4 years, though no plans to sell it. You can learn more by checking out some folks reviews on youtube, by looking for F-81ACRD maybe, or the great source of info were driveaccord.net. I had this unit for 2 weeks, and that's what I have observed as of now. I will post updates if something else comes up.Good luck.

I put this in about 6 months ago and it was really easy to install. Came with almost everything except the I-pod cord and backup camera. Never had an issue with it and it fits perfectly in the stock factory location. Also the price is much lower than competitors products. You wont be disappointed.

Perfect stock replacement for non-NAV enabled accords. Does everything stock does and more, fully integrated into radio and AC controls with minimal wire cutting (you have to E-Brake for the reverse camera).
