Default Swapped my stereo today

My new head unit arrived with a crack in the screen, bummer. A new one has been shipped but I figured I could use this one to test it out anyway. Works awesome, bluetooth, ipod link, dvd. I think it fits in well with the dash.

PLEASE tell what head unit this is!!!! I have been looking for this exact type of setup and have not been able to find anything. Does the screen slide out and then up?

Thanks,
Scott

I ordered the wiring harness and the ninja stars to remove the old unit from crutchfield. I also got the trim kit in case i needed it but the screen covers the gap so its optional.

The screen slides out and down for discs kind of different than the typical up and in movement.

Thanks man! If anybody gets one of these and hooks up the rear camera option or some kind of cool antenna for the tv tuner let me know haha. I bet if you have a roof rack there are some cool places you could put the camera.

The wiring harness matches up perfectly except for the 4 speaker wires. The harness comes with AV plug style wires. I just cut the ends off and seperated them into the two wire parts. All the wires are labeled and matching color coded. The unit slid into the din perfectly with enough wiggle to have the iPod jack come out underneath. It comes with 2 shims and screws to secure it.

Part numbers are
120701786
99-04 rover harness 19.99
120869001
OEM din tool pair 9.99
(To get your old head unit out)
120899400
Trim panel 14.99
Really don't need this unless you are super picky.
