    This unit is working great with my 1999 Grand Cherokee. I had to make sure to order the single DIN version. It looks really sharp. I'm glad you said that it started up quickly because mine was taking a full minute. After looking at the settings, I found mine was set to shut down after 30 seconds. I now have it on sleep mode and wakes right up after starting the car.

    Just bought a Kenwood DDX9005S a couple weeks ago and it has been pretty great. It is a double din setup but doesn't have the huge screen, looks and sounds great. Had I known about this radio before hand I would have seriously considered getting it. I do like the look of it, one thing the Kenwood possibly has over the radio in the video is that the Kenwood supports wireless Android auto. You can just fire it up with the phone in your pocket (if you have a supported phone, luckily I did). I don't have to mess around with wires at all. However while the Kenwood does have the enhanced TTPS (tire pressure monitoring) it wasn't as slick as what you had. It showed tire pressure in each tire but only sometimes?? It's still a new unit so I'm not sure what is going on there but it sorta works. I suspect it is a limitation of the OEM system, I wonder if I can get that adapter for my Kenwood and make it work.
    Still this radio does look really great, I think I'd prefer a smaller screen that fit in the DIN area personally. That aside if I was to do it all again it would be a coin flip on which way I would go.

This is the only issue I have with it. The Polaris Unit is more adjustable as it can be moved up and down and has a ball type swivel mount to turn the screen towards you. It is marketed with off road navigation as well. Other than that I am sure it is the same. Check out the Polaris site.
