He was pretty good answering my questions but I think there must be a language barrier. After I ordered he was very proactive and even offered to load a custom logo into the Double Din unit I bought. He emailed me with a couple install tips and let me know when he shipped. The product is enroute and we will see from how it goes from here.

I do not have a rear DVD ent system, but I will probably get the head rests that testigo sells. They match my truck and have a 7" display installed. I don't know about factory or other aftermarket units, but it should be ok as long as it has a standard a/v in/out put.
Another thing I'm really excited about is the fact that this unit is a windows CE software based unit. Which is great, becasuse its just like a mini computer in your dash. I was looking online and found that it plays games, can connect wireless via USB (I don't know it this is already installed on the unit--read other messages that it may be wifi ready).
I also plan on installing a removable hard drive in my center console for easy trasfer of info (movies, mp3, ect). Just a few ideas.

Installed New Trustigo Nav Unit
My unit came in yesterday. It was fairly easy to install. I removed the factory unit and connected the new unit with the adapter cables it came with. They linked right up. The only wire I needed to do anything with was to ground the video (pink) wire. I easily did this to a screw behind the radio. After turning turning it on, I has to hold down the camera button for 3 seconds and configed the steering wheel controls. I ran the GPS wire under the dash to the passenger side right corner. No wires show any where. Tomorrow I have to route the additional wires to the center console (i pod, usb, and additional video), along with installing the rear camera. I am going to install a switch as well so I can us the camera in both reverse and forward (so I can check out who is behind me while I'm driving, or what I'm towing). Overall I'm happy with the unit. On a 1 to 10 scale (10 best) I'd rank it:
1) Customer service- 10+++ This guy is quick to respond!
2) Install- 9 Very easy.
3) Product quality 8
4) Price vs other units 10
If you have any questions, please let me know. It does not support Sat Radio directly, but can be added in the Aux input but will require an external unit (Radio shack has them for about $55.00

I emailed them to joiseystud. He said he will post them. I am very happy about this unit and I really like the back-up cam.

Thanks for posting those pics for me. If anyone has any questions about the pics let me know.
1) I installed a rear camera with a switch so I can see it while in forward.
2) Extended USB cables to the center console
3) Routed Ipod cable to center console
4) Grounded DVD wire so it can play without e-brake being set
5) Set controls to work with me Steering wheel buttons
6) Temp ran DVD output to rear seats
Future upgrades
1) Just ordered Front Camera (same as rear night vision camera)
2) Head rest monitors with wifi headsets
3) A/V mode switch for multiple sources
4) Install PS 2 and Wii under rear pass seats
--My goal is to be able to play PS2, Wii, or DVD an each monitor independently. And have seperate Audio using wireless headsets for rear users. The head rests I'm looking at aleardy match the truck and are adjustable to fit right in (10" displays X 2, pair cost about $175). I do not want a headrest display with a DVD for 2 reasons. 1 they usually suck. 2 price. I'll be able to senf the dvd output from head head unit, and the PS 2 will play them as well.

I bought one of these for my 2005 F-250, it looks great and the NAV and everything works awesome. I can post some pictures later if anybody is interested.
Did anybody with this radio have trouble with the DVD? I hooked up the pink wire to a ground behind the dash and it worked initially. Then I unplugged everything, cleaned up the wiring with zip ties, and put it all back in and connected everyhting and I get a message saying "please enjoy music while driving". I messed with the whole thing for about 2 hours after that and I still cant play DVDs at all.
I cant imagine something shorted out because the rest of the radio works fine, maybe I have a bad ground??
Where are you guys grounding your pink wires?
Thnks in advance.
