Is the unit installed and looking good. It tilts and has adjustable tilt to allow to remove glare as needed. Have not played much yet but its phone is much better then the blueant bluetooth unit I had and the reversing camera is significantly better and faster than the existing camera via a VMS map systems I had.

After speeding through a school Zone in Western Vic last year, I think I may appreciated the school zone alerts. My D3 Clock which I had checked was out by 15 minutes so I was doing the 'speed limit' and was exactly 30kph over the 40kph school limit- - my bad --

I have had time to drive with the unit above and for two reasons it is being taken out of my car.
1- it reports school zone where they have never existed such as in the middle of a freeway near ringwood. Speeding alerts and radio muffled at over a dozen map or non school zone sites.
2- alpine blames the mapping provider and offered a link for me to let them know of all their faults.

The Installer has bent over backwards to help. He and I assume Alpine offered an upgraded or alternative alpine unit. I have declined as they would still have the same in my view faults.

Happily I am not stupid enough to slow to 40kph while driving with a tonne of traffic doing the correct speed limit. I could of course turn off that function. I do like it when its speed and school zone warnings work.

The installer Freeway car audio Dandenong generously offered me a kenwood unit DNX8160DABS | Multimedia and Navigation | Car Electronics | KENWOOD Australia
I will take this very kind offer once the steering wheel controls have turned up so I can at least pay him for installing that bit for me.
