I've got the same make in mine mate, but in a 7" screen version, the dvd quality is pretty good for what you pay for them, the radio quality could be better? but maybe a better aerial would sort that out?? sound quality isn't too bad either could maybe do with a few more levels of bass, but my sub box sorted that out :thumbup1: not had any problems with it though :thumbup1:

It's pretty obvious if you pull it out. You'll find the antenna lead since that's plugged into your head unit. The power cable for the booster is joined onto that antenna elad (i.e. a cable with two wires), and needs to be powered because with the OEM head unit removed, if you don't specifically connect it then that booster won't be getting any power.

Here's a rubbish pic of mine. Do not use scotchlocks like I did though (I know better now lol). The blue wire from my head unit harness is connected up to power the aerial booster :
