A quick overview of my install of the new Scosche Dash Kit for the 2010 - 2012 Camaro. I replaced my Metra kit with this and overall, I like it better so I'll be keeping it. The Good: * The install was MUCH easier than the Metra kit - basically plug and play (just follow the directions - not many wires to splice and there isn't another box you need to tuck under there. * Most importantly: the kit looks better than the Metra in my opinion, a little more like how a stock setup should have been for a 2010 Camaro (that old radio is UGLY and the metra was plain) * The touch screen controls work nice (although there's a little glare) and the steering wheel controls work like stock * Most of the car settings are supported and controlled within the touch screen (that's a separate unit for the Metra kit). The Bad: * The two pieces of the unit (face and bottom piece) are glued together and not all that well. It separated on me just a little. * Getting the head unit to fit right was a chore - had to screw the kit back in an out a few times and bend the brackets a bit to make it fit right. Even then, the gap at the top is a little more obvious than it should be. * The directions could have included some actual diagrams on how to get the center console / dash apart (instead of just text descriptions with part #s). * The speaker that produces the door chimes, blinkers, and back-up sensors is mounted somewhere inside the kit and sounds a little cheap * Doesn't come with Onstar support ...
