Return it while you can! I had this unit. I loved loved loved the specs and feature list, but it was so damn buggy it was unusable at times. Mine started off great. First thing I did was update the firmware, reset factory defaults, and went to town. First few weeks were fantastic, has awesome apps and great features that blew my mind.
By the 15-20 day mark, it was becoming VERY unstable. It would randomly reboot while listening to internet radio, screen wouldn't refresh for different songs, and it would VERY hot on the back. Sometimes it wouldn't turn off when I turned the car off and I had to press the reset button and then unplug the unit. Had to perform several factory restores by writing the updated firmware again. By days 25-30 it would power on, but the buttons and volume were completely unresponsive.Needless to say, I returned it at the last minute, and paid the different for the Pioneer DEH-80PRS. I HIGHLY recommend the DEH-80PRS. The sound quality over the ASTEROID was a phenomenal difference, even without doing any tuning. It has better customization for brightness, colors, and audio tweaking. Keep your eye on the unit, and jump on the return before it's too late if it starting giving you headaches. Hopefully mine was a lemon, but I wasn't willing to take that risk and not be able to return it later if it happened again.
