My 2012 EOS has an in-dash screen for the radio (and shows heat settings when you change them below), but it does not have navigation (or back up camera). Can I buy this and replace the existing and use all the features, or does it only work as an...

Answer from Titantech: Merry Christmas. You can use all the features existing.

Back up camera input yes. Not sure what size din the VW has. But you'll likely need an adapter to mount it cleanly. Try searching for metro dual din install kit for that car. Aux, yes. But rarely gets used. Bluetooth and USB are superior in convenience. IPhone should be fine. Bluetooth is Bluetooth. I don't see why it wouldn't work The Bad..... This is not the unit that best fix your needs if you are looking for navigation. There is no GPS in this unit. You have to use your phone for GPS. I have a rooted Galaxy S5 and can mirror everything from my phone's screen on the xav... But it was NOT easy to get it modified to work. Modified firmware, rooted phone, etc. The cheap price is partially due to lack of navigation built in.... But as far as audio quality, there are few better deals for touch screen in dash units. I would call Crutchfield. They will recommend the perfect unit for your needs. Then search around for the best deal on whichever unit that is. Easiest way to get what you want for a good price on car audio/electronics. Take care -TMF

Yes. I used the TaoTronics TT-CC17. The head unit can be configured to switch to camera view when you put the vehicle in reverse or you can manually toggle to camera view .

I don't believe this unit is "too" bright. There are options to change the color, both on the radio display and GPS. I have my GPS setting on night always. Not bright at all. But this unit isn't without it's glitches. I've had experiences now more than a couples of times where the screen freezes or not turn on at all. I had to turn off the car and it reset. Granted I am no expert, I do not know if it's my car's electrical system or the unit itself. Good luck with your shopping.

This fits double din radio spaces. back up camera sold separately. I really enjoy the options this unit has. This would be my first choice in Navigation Stereos. I tried Alpine and it did not have half of the options this one does and at a cheaper price.

Most vehicles are built with a disabling function so you can not view videos or even google map type apps from the screen due to safety issues. You may find an installer willing to put in an over-ride switch, as I did, but getting to the video/map takes so much time and steps I found it's just not worth it. Also, my vehicle required wires to hang out of dash which I now find annoying. It plays music and even will store photos, which is cool. All in all, I am still very happy with the quality of the player and hands free calling is very easy. Hope this was helpful :)

hey Kasey, I don't know what you are putting it in but you may need a installation kit, to go around the radio and fit into the opening. I needed one for my installation. The nav. you will need to buy it. It doesn't come with the unit. Nav. works great buy the way!! The nav will have everything you need for the installation of it. If you have any other questions just hit me back. Good Luck!!!

Yes its in dash, but you will need space below the mounting hole for part of the radio controls as the height of the unit is bigger than a standard unit. It overhangs the mounting hole by probably a couple of inches.

I have no idea. Just two weeks ago my car was broken into and the radio was stolen. My advice: Look for something with a removable or hidden screen.

Mine is on order! I can chime in by next weekend. I purchased the HD Tuner, the Sirius adapter + Sirius Connect, and the iPod cable. These Amazon prices are amazing for this gear. I have a 5th gen iPod (80gb) that I plan on using with this. One question I will be looking for is the Nav input. I guess it will show GPS info from an external unit but the info is scarce... only mentioned in the manual.

I had one in my 97 Altima that pretty easily replaced the stock radio with help from a wiring harness adapter. It's a standard single DIN size, but some newer cars use 1.5 DIN or double DIN radios. (same width but 'taller' from top to bottom) On the other hand, even for a 1.5 or double DIN dash space you can either buy a larger Pioneer radio or get a mounting adapter. These are great radios especially if you have good HD radio stations nearby. Some other Pioneer rmodels have Bluetooth or Pandora streaming radio capabilities though, if you want easier and wireless connection to your Android or Iphone I enjoy Pandora now but just connect it through the headphone jack and radio faceplate input.

you have to mount it somewhere. i mounted mine on the dashes lower panel. it will not replace the radio because it is just a monitor. hope this helps.

To take the 5 answers so far, and chime in with my own answer. I am also looking at possibly buying this unit, and I did some searching around. Firmware updates for the radio (not including maps) are free from the JVC website. When a map update becomes available (there isn't one for this unit, yet) they will include it on the support page and forward you to Navteq (navigation com). http://www3.jvckenwood.com/english/car/support/navi/nt500hdt/index.html Updates for Similar (older models of JVC in-dash nav units) are $139. Looks like the updates come out about every 18 to 24 months. One example: http://www3.jvckenwood.com/english/car/support/navi/nt1/us/index.html

I took mine a Auto radio and stereo systems Sales service and had them put it in.There are too many things that you can break when taking the dash out. Good Luck!

I think the problem is that there is only one camera input. I don't think this would work. It's a great idea, though. The "fooling it to believe it's in Park" is the least of the problems. Incidentally, if you haven't bought yet, and you own an iPhone get AppRadio 3 with CarPlay. This AppRadio2 has become very problematical with IOS8. If I knew then what I know now, I would have waited for the unit with CarPlay. That's if you use an iPhone 5 or later.

I think it's too big to replace the radio. It comes with a very versatile mount. It can be stuck onto your dash or hung down from the ceiling. It could also be mounted with screws to the front of a dash so as not to block your view of the road. I installed mine in a tractor trailer, so I had plenty of dash board room. This is an excellent camera system, but it may be a little large for a car installation.
