I put this in an 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS. The fit and finish is excellent. The screen is very nice and clear. Touchscreen works perfectly. The faceplate isn't textured but is smooth and it's plug and play for the most part and comes with everything you'll need. For clear instructions, YouTube: "2007-2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Android Stereo Installation" by Andrew A. from 2 yrs ago. Note: This head unit does have a feature to select and button save in the apps menu for your steering wheel volume, mode and up and down arrow so there isn't a special wiring harness needed for that. When installing the Hazard button, it just uses two small screws (I used original small screws from Hazard button) on the circuit board that attach it to the new unit. The larger holes outer bracket of Hazard button aren't used since there aren't large screw hole tabs on the rear of the new units face plate. After install I connected to WiFi to see if I needed to update the unit just like a smart phone. The head units Google Maps app is slow for me so I use the head unit with Android Auto and the apps and maps are smooth and fast since its running off my phone. Also, I can use mic options in app since it all works together seemlessly. I also know the vehicle has an onboard mic and didn't need to use the included mic. I use favorited apps for music and can have a map app on with your music app right next to it or under it like a music task bar under the full screen gps map. Hunters that use hunting maps such as OnX and want to keep your hands off your phone on the road, this is for you. It runs OnX just like Google Maps and the screens nice and big. Android Auto saved my experience with this head unit. Also, putting the Display on the lowest night setting was best for me and dimming when headlights on works great. There are faster head units like this available but this one works for me and am happy with it after exploring the features and finding info in the video and comments on YouTube video.
