I hsve a 2000 Acura Integra (4 door GSR) that I have tried to keep well maintained and as 'perfect' as possible. I really like the car and given my 2 mile commute to work, no reason to upgrade it! However, while the car is really well built unlike the modern Acuras the audio system on the Integra was less than ideal. I first replaced the speakers with Polk Momos and then the main head unit with an Alpine with XM radio integrated. I then replaced that with a double din Eclipse head unit with GPS and Sirrius (I have written a review about that). However, once the Eclipse just died on me I decided to go with a unit with simpler but better build quality.
After look around for awhile I found this panasonic. First, it fits perfectly into the double din slot and the aesthetics matches the dash perfectly! In fact the dash looks better than the original in every way. Personally I don't like blinking lights and the blue and red stuff. So the conservative and staid Panasonic looks very close to the original Acura head unit but is double din instead of single din and has many more features.
It has usb for direct mp3 plug in from a drive. Works very well (unlike the Eclipse), the Aux jack is perfect for an ipod and the radio and Cd player work well. The controls are very well laid out and easy to get to. No extra blinking lights and stuff.
I highly recommend this product. I can't imagine it is so cheap. Definitely worth at least 2x as much. In fact the Eclipse was 3x as much and was much worse build quality and the Alpine was over 2x as much and did less overall.
