I installed it in my 1995 Ford Probe GT and I can not open the screen once installed becasue it hits the plastic on my dash just a one the opening. I'm going to try to mount it about a half an inch out (not sure how I'm going to do that, but I'll give it a try), and see if that helps, but the unit already sticks out from the dash a considerable distance, so it may look even more obnoxious.
I really like all the RCA options as well. Sub, front, and rear out. Two video out, one rear camera in, audio video in, and the regular speaker wires if you don't have an amp. It's also got steering wheel control wires, but I just capped them since I don't have that in my car. The remote is also all inclusive! Once I can use the touch screen, I'll tinker with the remote a little (Currently I just use it to change songs on my phone, adjust the volume, and shut the radio off).
I do wish the unit didn't raise my antenna unless I had the radio on. I don't listen to the radio often, but the antenna is goin' up as soon as I turn the unit on. Bluetooth is my main listening method, so having the antenna up is a little annoying (especially when I'm going through a car wash, it'd be nice to drop the antenna and keep bluetooth'in instead of shutting the stereo off).
Over all I really like it so far.
(Update 10 July 2017): Got myself a new car (new to me, 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT - Non Nav factory radio) and this radio doesn't fit due to the little actuator arms on the back of the screen (just like in my Probe), but also the head unit is a tinny bit wider than a normal single din unit so the adapter kit (works with my other single din head units) is a tinny bit too narrow for this radio (I may trim the install kit, and cut two notches in the factory bezel around the radio - looking for options before I do that). I hate to sell this head unit, as it was very good once I got the screen issues ironed out in my other car, but I think I might just order the double din kit and a double din radio that runs Android OS with navigation.
