I received this as a Christmas gift. Installed the next day. Loved the idea of all the features (DVD, navigation, iPod connectivity, Bluetooth) as this replaced an existing GPS and iPod FM transmitter. Even better was the fact that it looked like a cheap in-dash CD player to potential thieves. All the features worked as expected. The DVD feature is nice for long trips but the built-in screen can't be used while the car is in motion (there's a connection for an external monitor). The navigation feature is nice, but the user interface is a bit 'clunky' in my opinion. The main reason for choosing this unit was the built-in iPod connectivity as I spend about 3 hours commuting daily. The on-screen iPod controls are much easier (and safer) to use than the iPod controls. However, don't expect it to mimic the controls from the iPod exactly. It's great for basic playback but is best used with playlists. Bluetooth phone connectivity is a great feature but the built-in mic makes it difficult for callers to hear you (even sitting still with the engine off). An external clip-on microphone would have been a much better choice and sadly there's no option to add one. Otherwise the phone book and caller display works well. After my initial impressions I would give this unit 4 of 5 stars.Now for the long-term review...After using this unit for nearly a year, I'd like to report how I feel about it, what I've experienced, and why I wouldn't recommend this product now.The DVD feature is nice but I noticed that the unit has a tendency to overheat after a few hours of use. I've read on other sites that adequate ventilation was necessary for this unit. There's a small rear-facing fan that must be clear of any obstructions. I ensured that it wasn't blocked (my 2002 Intrepid has plenty of room behind the head unit). While the 'overheating' didn't affect playing the iPod, the Bluetooth, or the navigation, it did severely affect DVD playback. After about 45 minutes of playing a DVD the video would get blocky and studder, or the sound would cut out, as if the DVD was scratched. I tried several including a couple of brand new discs and had the same issue. Haven't used the DVD in a while now.The navigation worked well until suddenly it just stopped one day. After getting the 'press here to accept' message I began getting some kind of error indicating that the GPS software couldn't load. On a side note, it appears that this unit uses an embedded version of Windows CE, as the dialog box from the error looked very much (read exactly) like error messages I'd seen before of CE-based devices. I tried restoring the navigation data from the DVD included with the unit but that didn't help. After exchanging e-mail with Dual's technical support I was told that I needed to send the CF card back and they'd check it. Would've been easier if they'd included the application software on the DVD instead of just the navigation data so that I could try a different card myself. Still haven't sent the card in but guess I will have to if I want my navigation back.The main reason I wanted this unit was for the iPod connectivity. It works OK but the on-screen user interface is buggy. For whatever reason, when using my iPod Video and the on-screen pause, it locks the head unit up. For example, if you press pause while playing a song, the unit will pause the song but I can't resume it. I have to switch to the radio tuner and then back again to get it to play. And it skips to the next song, it doesn't resume the song I was listening to. I don't have these problems with my iPod Nano. Since I use it to listen to audiobooks and podcasts I don't pause that much. I've learned to use the mode button to switch to the tuner if I need to pause the audio. As I have the audiobook feature turned on on the iPod, it resumes where I left off when I switch back to it.My biggest complaint, though, is when shutting off the car. If the radio, or iPod, is playing when I turn off the ignition there's no audio when I re-start the car! If I turn off the radio before shutting the car off this isn't a problem. To get audio back, I have to turn the radio off and back on again. And, no, it's not a wiring problem (I've checked and had it checked by a professional).As I noted earlier, it appears this unit is running an embedded version of Windows CE. Dual has promised updates on their website since I bought the unit but as of this writing they haven't made updates available. I can only hope that sometime soon they will update the software and fix what is otherwise a great product for the price. Until they do, however, I'm sticking by my 2 star rating.

This stereo has been nothing but headaches wrapped inside problems with an ample serving of frustration on the side.My first problem was that the screen stopped ejecting. One expensive repair later (which should have been covered as I was told by the repair tech that the ribbon cable connecting the screen-to-unit was poor quality and had a high failure rate.After getting the unit back (keep in mind I had to pay to have it removed professionally because if I didn't it would void the warranty, according to Dual) a short while later it began to have a "stuttering" audio problem with the SD card, USB input, and the Navigation system. (it sounded like someone being electrocuted). The backup camera then went out.Once again I sent it back. Dual originally wanted to charge me for a full repair but I argued them down to $25. (had to once again pay to remove and ship it out). The repair was to have the system board replaced.Two weeks later I get the unit back and THEY DIDN'T EVEN REPAIR IT!!!! Not only that but now I couldn't even change FM/AM bands! WTF?!?Now they want me to send it back to them again (bye-bye for ANOTHER two weeks) and I have NO confidence in it working! I am now selling the vehicle it is in and it will be someone elses problem once it comes back.I did have the wiring checked to rule out that being a problem. It is not the problem. The problem is buying something I would not send to my worst enemy after he knocked up my sister and then left her crying in a bus terminal a thousand miles from home without money or a cell phone or even toothpaste ( as good hygiene is important).Avoid this steaming stinking turd like the plague from hell that it is as not only is the unit a P.O.S. (figure it out, it shouldn't be TOO hard!) but the service sucks worse than anything has ever sucked before!If I had a choice between buying any product from Dual Electronics again and eating a turd, I would buy the Dual Electronics product...but I would think about it first.UPDATEI received the unit back after Teresa said she would send it back with "expedited shipping", which she didn't. Guess what? SAME PROBLEM!!! I even had the wiring rechecked by TWO different installers! Now here's where it gets FUN! Before sending the unit out again I had "scanned" both the top and bottom into my scanner as there are serial # stickers on both the top and bottom.I checked the unit and while the TOP had a different serial number, the bottom did not! All they did was SWAP the outer top plate and sent it back hoping I would not notice! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! Add to that that the unit also now has a damaged front InfraRed Receiver (cracked off)I am now demanding either a brand new unit or a full refund for the stereo and all costs involved so far. This is beyond insanity and poor customer service to try to swap a single plate instead of fixing or replacing the unit!DO NOT BUY!!!

I have to totally agree with EduTech's review. I'm having the same problems from the DVD's skipping after 45 minutes of use or so, to the GPS that just quit working all of a sudden.This is a huge disappointment because I loved this player at first. It has tons of great features at a fraction of the price of comparable models. My warranty is up in January so I will have to send it back for repairs before it runs out (I have been putting it off as I don't want to do without music for several weeks).I hope Dual can fix the bugs because this player has so much potential.
