For the money, this is hands down the best deal on a touch screen player anywhere. Compared to other in dash DVD touch screens costing 3-4-5 even 10x as much, it holds it's own pretty well. Compared to other bargain brands (such as Boss) this blows them away. No quality issues and good user interface. I can't believe I got an in-dash 6" touch screen DVD / CD / MP3 player for sub-$200.
Everything works as described for this unit with the exception of the ipod control. Maybe it's me or my device (iphone 4s) but I could not get it to recognize the phone. Oh well, I just use the AUX input on the front and music plays fine although it cannot charge the phone this way. A minor inconvenience for me.
For informational purposes only, if you want to watch movies on the screen while you are driving just ground the parking safety wire.

The hardware and software seem to work well enough and the price is so low that it's a wonder. But if I were to do it over again I would have spent more to get more. The problem is that the software isn't mature. Not enough effort was spent putting the device in front of people and looking to see what features they'd perceive to be missing, and what behavior they'd perceive to be poorly thought out. Examples:
1. The front has a 3.5mm aux port labeled AV1 which allows you to connect an MP3 player. It seems to be an audio only port, so calling it an "AV" port and accessing it thru the "Mode" button as "AV1" is confusing. When you use that port to listen to your MP3 player the screen is entirely blank except for the large warning re. not watching videos when you're driving. Why show the warning when you're listening to MP3's? Why not allow the screen to show more friendly things when watching MP3s like a generic or custom image, and/or the clock? To whom would it seem reasonable that while spending hours on the freeway listening to their MP3 player in the aux port, a person would be satisfied with this huge warning in their face the whole time?
2. You can't access audio functions while listening to MP3's, iPod in, USB in, or MicroSD. Haven't tried a CD yet. The normal scenario where one would adjust fader or right/left balance, is with music playing. But with music playing you can't get to those features.
3. In USB in or MicroSD mode you can't get to the only display that shows the clock. So the very basic functionality of a 20yr old LED panel unit....playing music while the unit defaults to a clock on it's face, is beyond the capability of this modern unit. Odd. In iPod mode, you can get to the clock screen and leave it there while you drive.
Other.
The manual is miserable. It looks like it was written by the software guy. Since he knew exactly how his software worked, he'd lost touch with the idea that others might not understand aspects of it. The manual was not written by someone who had an intuitive sense of the things that users were going to wonder about.
In USB in mode and MicroSD mode you don't get a GUI on the screen that can read long file names. It's text based and you get 8.3 folder and filenames so you see only the first 7 characters of all of your folder and filenames. In the late '90's that limitation would have been entirely reasonable, but not in 2012. Song management also seems to be non-existent. No playlists, no favorites, it's just really DOS, altho probably LINUX based.
Spend more. Get more.

As everyone else has already mentioned, just ground that parking brake wire if you want to bypass the safety feature that doesn't allow you to watch DVDs while driving. That would be annoying on a road trip if my fiance wanted to watch something. I actually still haven't used the DVD player except for the first day as a test.
Anyway, there are a few minor frustrations I've experienced. A lot of your basic functions like skipping a song in iPod control are only available on the remote. This has caused me to listen to my iPod a lot less, but I also have a SiriusXM receiver hooked up to auxiliary, many local stations, and many mix CDs.
Also, I'm used to having volume as a knob, this unit has buttons. Also, not a big deal.
Changing sources is a bit confusing at first. Just remember that the "back" symbol in the top right hand corner of the screen is your best friend.
That's about it. Seriously, you can't beat the price. It hasn't crapped out on me yet, but I've only had it a month. Will update.
