How reliable is the detachable front face? Is it easy to detach?

I can't answer to it's reliability. I've only removed mine a few times. It is fairly easy to remove. The button releases it to the first step. Then you have to slightly lift one side up and over the second step, then it comes off. Putting it back on tends to take a little patience and you have to make sure it's lined up just right. I will agree with the other reviews about the faceplate being surprisingly heavy. Keep a good hold of it.

It is easy to detach, but you have to get used to detach it. You have to push the detach button, then pull the faceplate up and then towards you(have to be this way). Take in account the faceplate is little heavy so try not to drop it when you detach it.

It is easy to detach and I had no issues the first year detaching it every day, After a year I experianced some Issue where it didn't want to connect each time I reconnected it unless I pushed down on it. I found some hard stickers and put it on the vertical plastic, it latches to, and that seemed to resolve the issue. I do like the Unit, But wish I had opted for the HD Model, with the larger screen, My Fat fingers have a hard time entering addresses on the litle screen using the Nav modual. But if upi let a fingernail Grow, you can use it as a pointer, and easier hit the litle key points in the center. I would have perfered to have a dial, like my parents accura, than a touch screen.

Yes. There are two screws ar the bottom of the face that need to be removed and then you have to hit the open button and you will feel the release lever behind the face while it is open. Once you remove the face, the mechanism will retract. .

TBH its a little finicky to unclip the front and slide it off. I would not count on it lasting a long time through many cycles- there are small plastic tabs on the front plate that hold it on. The back is sturdy but if the front isn't holding it on you would have to use tape or something.

pretty easy, just have to be gentle as this is an ultra slim case. I have removed several different times without issue.

I have not yet removed one. I've read that they come off easily, but don't reattach very well.

BOSS makes a model with a removable face -- we had one. The tabs broke after less than a year, so the face wouldn't stay on and the whole thing became an in-dash paperweight. For a double-DIN-sized screen, detachable face isn't as great a feature as it is for a more normal-sized stereo.

Yes it is very easy to remove, I was concerned myself but setup was really easy..Worth the money for sure....I hope this was helpful...

I have owned this model for 6 months and have had no problems removing it and putting it back on. I would suggest not doing it often though as you will stretch the outer casing.

If the face is detachable it only becomes a security feature when it is removed from the unit because theinitnitself is useless without the face. But this unit does not have a detachable face

The internal case does not detach from the external case. Although there are many times, I wish it did, it is very easy to slip out and put back in the case. Having a detachable internal case, would be a great enhancement to their next model.

It's pretty easy for it to come out. I rarely take mine out, but when I need to, it comes off with ease.

No, it is not detachable. However, when folded to view it like a tablet, the keyboard and screen are pretty thin. Although it cost a a little more than the Microsoft one, it is faster, more memory, bigger screen, etc., etc.

No detachable face, but the screen does go inside of the unit and yes Bluetooth.

It's not very flimsy at all. The magnet that holds it in place is pretty strong, you can actually hold it from the back flap part and it still won't detach.

The INE-W927HD does not have a fully detachable face plate. Hope that helps?.
