Default JVC head unit

I am very close on getting a JVC KW-AVX840 head unit installed in my truck and was wondering if anyone happened to have the same HU in theirs. How do you like it?/ pictures?

I have the 740 model, just installed it last Wednesday and so far I love it. Ipod integration is awesome. It takes about 7 seconds to load album artwork when switching between songs. Its got the options to change between different sound presets (I.e. dynamic, bass boost, etc) I am able to stream music (pandora) from my DROID over bluetooth. The bluetooth calling is great (I recommend mounting the Mic on top of the a-pillar). The dvd bypass was easy and was actually easier than the "correct" way to install it lol. Overall im really enjoying it...havent use the 8xx model but from what I've gathered they are quite similar. Will attach pics in a separate post...posting from my phone. Sorry if pics are sideways.

I think it looks good. I like your mic location too.

I will post a review after a while but one of the first things I am extremely happy with is the great picture and quality of movies and concerts! Blew me away! Also made my speakers sound 3 times better

I have the 740 and it had the same effect on my factory system. It was a night and day difference. The difference preset sound setups was quite nice, I enjoy using the
"dynamic" setting the most.

I was wondering what kind of phone you have and if you had any trouble getting it to work completely with your bluetooth? I just recently got the iPhone 4S and cannot get the bluetooth the function correctly.
