I guess it's similar to the one you are looking at. Only varies on RAM and ROM. My version is 2GB/32GB.
The installation is pretty straight forward, the unit usually comes with all connectors and it's basically plug and play.
It's a big upgrade from the OEM unit (whether it's SAT/NAV or the most simple radio unit) with a lot of features. The plastic quality (buttons and trim) is not the best but for the price ...
There where only 2 issues with my unit:
Fitment - If you have the simple radio unit you are fine, but If you have the SAT/NAV unit the upper vent plastic piece (with the small lcd screen) will have a small gap like this:

I think if you have the storage cubby beneath, it will also have a small gap but it's not as noticeable.
Audio - My CL9 had the Premium Sound System from factory, and I had to by-pass the amp because the sound was being amplified 2 times (one by the chinese radio unit and one by the OEM amplifier) and was causing a parasite sound (at least I think that was the problem, you might not encounter this). The installation was like this:

Because I removed the amp, I had to make a DIY crossover for the tweeters with a 3.3uF 100V capacitor. Images below:

Also installed the backup camera and so far everything works fine. No problems with A/C.
P.S.-Could not upload the images in the post, they where too large
