    I have a 2012 and I have the DVD player with the screen which I’m super happy with. The Bluetooth connects automatically with my phone and all that but the one feature which I wish it could do is be able to play KZread while driving. I listen to a lot of music there but the screen goes blank once you put it in drive. Otherwise would definitely keep the stock screen and controls.

    I think it shuts down when it overheats, so adding the cooler should solve the problem. I don't have that problem but like sometimes when I turn on the car music sound doesn't come up (once a month), if I tweak it sometimes it helps, other than that it is really worth it.

    The culprit for unit crashing is either low ram or overheating. Since you don't use your AC on hot sunny days, the high heat is probably trapped, goes into overheat mode and shuts down. Some units now come with a fan to help lower the temperature.

    I have the same model and 3 takeaways for your 3 cons. 1: the glitches. Most of these will have some bugs and unfortunately it’s part of it. Some people have done firmware and CANBUS updates with success. 2; the AC is supposed to pop up when you touch your physical buttons. It’s a pop up menu from the bottom. Go into settings and Factory my pin is 3368. Or respond to this and I’ll find the exact steps. It works. 3: fitment. Unfortunately you have to be very careful when you are installing. The plates that connect the screen to the harness need to be placed specifically. THEN you need to add bolts for extra space to create better fitment. Took forever and was annoying but my fitment is almost perfect.
