Clarion VX401 Double Din Touchscreen Bluetooth If buying for BT-Audio beware

If buying for BT-Audio beware, I purchased this item for two features. 1) Bluetooth audio streaming and 2) video inputs for my HKS CAMP 2. While the device technically fulfills both my needs it goes about doing it in the most nonsensical manner possible. Unlike other aftermarket and even OEM stereos that support BT-Audio, this unit does not have it listed as an input. It will do it, but it requires you to navigate through several menus to access it after every boot up of the device. It will also discontinue playing your audio if you leave the bluetooth menu screen to do anything else with the headunit. If you're looking for something that will allow you to hop in your car and play your music from your phone or other bluetooth enabled media player with no hassle look elsewhere. After discovering this and finding no way around it, I promptly pulled it out of the car and sent it back. I'm just glad Amazon was good about the return process.
Do you like your movies Squashed or Cropped? The VX401 is for you!, I bought the Clarion VX-401 from Amazon in February 2011. Its predecessor model (VX-400) had lots of decent reviews on Amazon, so I bought the 2011 model (VX-401) hoping it would be just as good or better. Our family car has headrest-mounted monitors for the second row passengers. The VX-401 seemed like a good device for queuing up movies for our pint-sized passengers to watch in the rear.
Over all ok, After reading all the mixed reviews of the VX400 I went with the newest model out on the market the VX401. My husband installed the unit in our 04 Tahoe after buying an aftermarket wiring harness, one thing we have found out is because of the On Star this requires an expensive harness we went with a lesser one because I have choose not to use the On Star feature with my truck.

The features are simple and the menu screen is easy to nagivate.
