^ love that deck.

Super functions, not sure about overall sound though never had it. But if somone wants to run active without an amp, that is the only HU I know of capable, I'm not condoning that type of action, but a pretty nice feature. Also can run a true 3 way active up front, with no sub though.

The HU picture in the first post is not bad. In Asia, there are so called "feminine model" vehicles available. This HU might be equipped on one of the feminine-model vehicles.

By the way, the HU posted by nismo14 looks bloody beautiful if equipped on a Maxima.

Yeah, that's pretty bad D-Bo.
Even if it was free, you couldn't pay me to put that in my car.

It's an excellent headunit, for the price. Is a bit hard to see the screen, in sunlight, however. Sound quality: sounds better than the stock Bose, but can't really comment as I'm still using the craptastic Bose speakers/amps. The parametric equalizer has allowed me to maximize the sound quality from the crappy stock speakers.

Can, also, make your own custom colors. This negates the need for a dimmer and/or changing LED's in the dash

I need to change my opinion after I have a look at the actual unit at local Fry's. The sliding control buttons are hard to use. Also the finishing quality of whole face plate including all bottons is not as good as shown in the picture. They look just like cheap plastic toys.

PRO: the design of buttons and shapes.
CON: the quality of faceplate and buttons.

The DRZ receiver looks like very slick and classical. I'd love it.

The feeling of DRZ is kind of similiar to my deja-vu Blose HU.
