That is a nice deck...hopefully they fixed the Bluetooth hiccup. My INA-W900BT recognizes the Bluetooth music before the Bluetooth phone so it only accesses the music from the deck. The deck can receive calls and you can make outgoing calls from your phone but not directly from the deck itself. I can set the deck up to default to the phone but then I'll lose the music feature. Not a big deal but lost a little functionality.

whoa....$1,500 that will put a dent in the pocket book.

Let us know how you like it and post up some pics when you get it installed. I'm curious how well the mic is on it compared to the stock mic in the F150.

I definitely would like to see an unbiased user review (w/ video) and not a seller review...

Cant wait to get everything installed, will post some pics and let yall know my 2 cents. I really dont see how its possible for the perfect fit kits/wiring harnesses to be 2 1/2 weeks behind the unit itself. **** is so aggrivating.

From what i read is that the screen is bigger but the mounting area is the same size as my deck. So I'm guessing the screen is not flush w the actual unit like mine.

Sorry about the delay for the "perfect Fit" kit.

So i have been testing a pre-production sample for a while. I had it in the lab and on my desk, and thought that it looked really close to the size of the factory opening in my '04 Screw. I pulled the bezel (INA-W910 in dash) off and sure enough it fit, inside the bezel. I ordered over a new dash kit and began to modify. It took me about 3 days of "Futzing" with it to get it right, clearance, opening and squared up. Of course the "Perfect Fit" for '12 model year will be easy.

I will make a template on how to modify the dash kit, for all of you older model guys to simply drop in. I think it looks great. What do you guys think?

I will also try to post a picture of the 910 versus 928 in the same dash.

Looks good. Really want to add this to my 2012. How are the maps compared to previsou versions. Does it operate any faster? Previous Alpine's were a little slow in that department. What about startup time?

Nice to see that the stock trim can be made to work. I was gonna try to modify mine to fit as you did since they dont offer the trim specific graphics, only the plain black.
