Q: How long on average does this installation take?

A: It really doesn't take that long, less than 3 hours, but getting the appointment from Best Buy to actually get it installed can take a while -- so plan ahead.

Q: Why doesn't the specifications say that this unit plays CDs and DVDs ? It says no to CDs and no mention of DVDs at all !!!

A: I have no idea why the specs don't say it, but it does indeed play CDs and DVDs.

Q: Is this unit compatible with 16 Tacoma’s back up camera system?

A: Yes, this is compatible for 16 Tacoma’s back up camera system.

Q: Will it be compatible and fit 2014 jeep wrangler

A: Yes, this will be compatible and fit with a 2014 Jeep Wrangler.

Q: Will this fit a 2003 F250 Super Duty?

A: Yes, it fits a 2003 (Ford) F250 Super Duty.

Q: is this compatible with a 2014 Toyota Highlander rear view camera? and is it compatible with the steering wheel buttons for the same vehicle?

A: I just installed it into a 2014 Tacoma. You will most likely need an adapter to plug it into the rear view camera and there is a programmable device, I believe it is made by Matrix, that you can buy to make it compatible with the steering wheel controls. This is normal add-ons that have to be bought when replacing a stock head unit with an aftermarket one.

Q: How do you Update the maps? And, is it free?

A: The maps just update themselves. There is no charge. Occasionally, a map will be out-of-date, but that is usually because of new road construction or unexpected road closures.
