Does any one here on the forum have this radio, and can give me some feedback on it and what it looks like in the jk, if there is any cutting involved, or even if it fits. Anybody add any of their accsesories to it ipod, bluetooth, or xm ?

I have the 7120. I wasn't present at the time of the install, but to my understanding all you need is a adaptor for the install. No cutting needed. My only problem is that I can't turn the radio on with out the engine running

BTW, drop Discodave a PM. I believe he has that same model.

Default Not in the JK though

I bought that same model for my wife. And for someone that isn't into all the gadget stuff, she loves it. That radio does everything. backup cam, nav...everything. And it can do it all at the same time! Push DVD video to the back, while the navigation is running, listening to the Sat radio, and make a bluetooth call.....all at once!

When I upgrade my Jeep head unit I'm either getting the same one, or their newer model.

Thumbs up

I got one about 9 months ago and love it. I have the bluetooth and it works flawlessly with my Sony Ericsson phone. I also have the Sirius module and a back-up camera. Both work great. I had the upgraded Infinity setup and then replaced the headunit with the DNX5120. Very happy with the sound from this unit. Don't know much about the install I had it done at Fry's here in town but do not recommend. Went back twice to get everything to work correctly.
