actually i changed my mind again! iam going back with clarion!!!! this one

its the only one with rear usb and built in Blue tooth without a microphone.. JVC is another one it has bad blue tooth reviews..

yeah clarion all the way for me again.... it seems to be one of the few built in blue tooths with great reviews on the phone calls and it does not have a microphone you need to place anywhere..

thanks for the great pictures! i hope my clarion fits like yours

 

Special thanks to B-Blue for all his help with my radio install, I had fun learning and installing my first radio upgrade install. Thanks also to blythe, kman and lowkeymods for their past posts that also was a great help.

I agree with B-Blue on all his opinions about the CX501. All my speakers are now better sounding. Bluetooth is of the same quality as my 2011 Sienna. With no mic to route around the car, it’s the easiest install for a beginner like me. Although backlight is subpar compared to some other HU (colors are nice though), for the price that I got it for; it’s all worth the risk. It washes out so easily under direct sunlight, but the blue that matches the FIT’s backlighting is better than any other color available in the HU. No rear USB connection for my stock USB that goes in the top glove compartment. Oh well…. Front ones work perfectly though…. Only time will tell how well his unit will work. But my last Clarion with DVD and Navi that was put in my Highlander (sold to my friend) worked for 6 years, no glitch. The last time I heard, it’s still going strong. Hopefully I'll have the same durability on this one.

Time for the next mod….!
