Tha is a lot. I ordered it. All the ac inputs and stuff function as well? I have the 5” unit and couldnt wait to change it. It cuts out randomly cause of my amp install
Switched from the 5" myself. Totally worth it. I do miss the volume knob though. I was thinking about picking up the upgraded climate control unit to get it back but am not so sure about how it will all play together.

The install is very strait forward and the videos they have to show you each step make it a breeze. Just take your time.

I missed the knob for about 3 days then got used to it

I would add the climate control unit if it actually gave us DATC but it doesnt....so not worth it to gain a volume knob to me

I’m not a fan of the climate control unit sold on Quadratec by the company they recomend. To me the digital display worth 500 dollars look like a 1990s computer and is not for me. I like my buttons there already my style and I can add some color to them.

I was a big fan of android befor I had a gf with an iPhone asking if I had Apple Pay or face time. So I’m sure I’ll be used to swiping down to up the volume! Gotta love androids freedom

I was, and I believe Shotgecko was as well, talking about the factory climate control unit for the 7" & 8.4* screens..

I'm just using the steering wheel control, but I can be done on screen as well

Ordered mine today! And can’t wait to get it. It’ll be a week or so. Anyone have any recommendations or install help for when I get it? Seems like there’s a lot behind this radio then just a plug and play radio
Where did you get yours from?? I ordered a week or so ago and its still being processed.

I ordered mine from 4wheelparts but it says being processed. They have a sale going on where they pay the sales tax and free shipping so it was 1400 flat.

I have the regular base setups and I love them. The whole interior is perfectly fine with me except the 5 inch especially use wise is extremely slow but I knew I’d change it out eventually so no big deal I guess

I strongly recommend you watch the Insane Audio Installation videos for this unit.

Here is a link to the installation manual: https://insaneaudio.com/InsaneAudio_JL3001_Installation_Manual_v1.0.pdf

Also, here's a link to a video installation guide: https://insaneaudio.com/JL3001_VInstall/JL3001_VInstall.html

Having mine for almost a month and I still love it.

Seems like an easy install you could do blind folded. Thanks for the links. I have an amp and speaker already setup so this Gould be a nice addition since my unit blanks out and resets every couple of days!

Just to get back to you with more info. I ordered mine from 4wheelparts.com. There available and on order for the first-2nd week of May. And they have a great deal going on right now I think you and anyone else should take a peak at if your considering insane audio. I beleive it includes front and rear cam.Today only 13 hours left

This looks like a better deal than the alpine. I am curious why the Alpine needs waaaay more parts and working than this one. Anyone have any ideas why?
