Will do.. I ordered it Thursday night, and according to their web tracking, nothing has happened with the order yet. Still pending. They might just be slow in updating the web, or it may still be collecting dust on a shelf.

I hate waiting for new toys, so I have been setting up my old laptop to drive this for now, and what do you know, the CD drive is dead.. Time to toss this old pile...

I have a 98 maxima and the gooddeals customer service said that the 8" should fit in my double din. I'm not sure about this, it may just be them trying to push merchandise. Please help. I thinking that maybe without the trim panel it can. I just want to know how to do it for sure(take out the remote and channel part and move it else where)

Well, they have shipped mine out, so hopefully in a couple of days I will be able to give you some measurements.

i'm planning to get a screen soon. if u had the choice between this 8" vs the lilliput 7" one (they're almost the same price), which one would be better? but for a 10.4" one, that's a really good deal; wish i had space for a 10.4" =( . i don't have much space on my 01 maxima.

does it also have "auto-power on" when it gets signal of power?

Yep

Got mine. Fast shipping. Hooked everything up and it works great. Now I am tearing it apart so I can start working on molding it into my dash and such. Problem that I see is that the ir receiver is connected to the board with the buttons. I plan to relocate the buttons so it should be ok but if you are thinking you can do away with all buttons and just operate it with the remote control, you will have to do a bit more modding to get it to work that way.

Not really , took me about 5 minutes to de-solder the IR sensor off the button board and solder in some extension wire to it. Then i just stuck the IR receiver under the dash and run it all with the remote, works great for me!
