It's been a mixed blessing. I got a speeding ticket Tues b/c I couldn't hear my radar detector over my music. I guess I should be happy everything is working as it should. Here are the improvements I've noticed:

1) it WORKS
2) battery drain when car is off problem cured, but HU wont operate when headlights are not on. Not a problem for me b/c I always drive with angel eyes on.
3) alternator whine significantly reduced, but not gone (installing noise filter this weekend)
4) monitor screen opens/closes 20% faster
5) A/V cables in rear solidly reinforced
6) sound continues to play when closing screen

Downsides:
1) HU wont work when headlights are off.
2) if you don't turn off HU and cut power (i.e. turn off headlights), HU gets really F'ed up and beeps at you
3) "loud" function sucks now. bass/trebble sounds like a blown out speaker
4) cops are such douchebags
