Default Oversized Radio is installed

I got the power acoustic oversized single din radio installed. It has Bluetooth, back up camera, and CD/DVD player. Install was a little troublesome because the sosche install kit with the ears didn't quite fit. I don't know if it was due to the kit or the radio itself, but a little bit of modification and I made it work.
I used the nav interface kit to utilize the reverse input trigger wire. Overall I am happy with it.
Bluetooth works perfectly, I did have some cutting out on fm radio, but I did pay less than 100 bucks for the radio, so I wasn't expecting perfection. My main uses will be Pandora via Bluetooth and the back up camera.

Thanks. I wasnīt sure how it would turn out because I couldnīt find too many reviews on this particular unit, and the ones on amazon were some good some bad. I decided to take the chance because I didnīt want to do a whole lot of mod to the bezel to fit a double din. The screen is 4.5 inches, not really big, but not too small either. All I can say is, its a lot better than what I had before. I made a phone call to my wife from the radio and she said it sounded just as clear as if I was on the phone, so thatīs good too.
