loaded with awesome features but with glitchy os : Power Acoustik PTID-8970NRB 7-Inch In-Dash Widescreen TFT/LCD Monitor with DVD
Ok I have owned this thing for some months now (between 6 - 8) and I am loving it because it has done all that I wanted it to do and even more. I wanted a replacement unit for my 1998 Honda Civic coupe. I have two 10" Sub-woofers and a decent power amplifier as well. My old deck would play CD's anymore and I didn't disagree with it. I myself was getting really sick of burning, playing and ejecting CD's all the time. I drove a rental 2011 Acura and that car had exactly what I wanted as far as new technology but I still don't think I should have to fork over $50,000 to get Bluetooth calling Bluetooth mp3 playback from my iPhone and 7" screen navigation. This unit was the perfect solution. The only difference is that this unit actually has a few more features than the Acura. It can play DVD movies and be wired to show local TV channels as well plus more.
With the praise being out of the way here are the things that the non tech savvy consumer may not like about the unit.
1. It is a bit loud when the volume is turned to zero or the audio is muted. Its basically coming from the cooling fan when the unit is turned on. The frequency of the fans also changes from time to time based on my engine speed. My guess would be that the cooling fan in the radio is based on my charging system output. The fans tend to get a little louder when I'm on the gas. Now understand that this is installed in a civic where the radio is up high on the dashboard and closer to my ears than maybe where it would go in your car. Again the noise is not overbearing or even noticeable once you start driving (as road noise increases) or have the radio up by any amount BUT if you are the kind of person that likes to just sit in your car with the radio muted with your windows up, you will hear a cooling fan operating from the radio. This doesn't bother me at all.
2. This thing is basically a micro-computer with a very poorly developed operating system or bios or firmware or whatever the correct term for it is or it could be a super cheap processor if it has one. I say this because I have had to reset the unit a few times over the months. I use it primarily for listening or streaming songs from me iPhone so the phone is paired to the unit. Sometimes its as if it forgets my phone and I have to repair it but it now seems I have to reset it completely for a fresh pairing. Also there was an instance where I wasn't able to pick up any radio stations and I installed this myself so I knew the antennae was plugged it. I had to reset it here too and it fixed it. I must note however that this was happened on the day of the install and i think i may have shorted 2 wires. It only happened that one time and never since then. The point here is that I can almost guarantee you will reset yours at least once or twice if you buy/have one. The other times when it loses the connection or forgets is when I turn the car off, run into a gas station, get back in and start it back up it may take a while to reconnect to the phone or sometimes not at all. I usually then go into my phone and manually reconnect it which is very dangerous if you are driving! I'm a tech savvy person so this doesn't bother me too much because bluetooth works good I would say a good 80% of the time. I wish they would come up with some kind of software update this.
3. Overall the functions can be glitchy at times. I was listening to an MP3 disc once and every time i would get into the car it would start from song 65 when I was listening to song 88 or 90 before. That happened once. Again I attribute this to poorly developed software.
4. This is one that bothers me, the LCD will not fold out properly at times. It comes out of the unit and goes right back in. I have to press the open button again for it to finally come out and fold up. when it folds all the way up it hits the dashboard and tries to fold itself back in all the way (safety feature which is cool) so I have to kinda hold the screen on its way back down for it to stop and stay open. Thankfully I don't use the 7" LCD very often because all the functions can still be done with face folded in.
5. Last but certainly not least is there is no anti-theft practicality with this radio. You can detach the little panel with the channel program buttons but that's it. Its such a joke that I have never even wasted my time taking it off because without it the rest of the front of the radio is still clearly visible and still looks very much like an in dash fold monitor to the potential radio thief! Huge bummer...
Conclusion: Overall I am happy with my purchase because in the end I have new car technology in my old car for under 50 grand and no car payment. That means I am definitely willing to accept a few flaws here and there so long it works good most of time which this unit does for me. I like having my phone in my pocket at all times and be able to play my music, not have to waste money and time on burnt CD's and take or place a phone call while this is all going on. End the call and right back to the audio. Bluetooth audio is limitless. You can stream satellite radio if you have the app or Pandora or even YouTube right thru your radio! This makes my commutes much more on demand for the things I want to listen to when I want to listen to them. I would imagine someone makes a better version of this radio but It will cost significantly more.
