Best unit on the market
By The GAME
Dont be afraid of the name Valor. They make top of the line equipment at a very reasonable price. This unit does it all and has a very friendly interface. Perhaps the biggest selling point is all the accessories it comes with. It comes with an ipod cable, nav dvd, a 2 gb card to download updates, 2 remotes and also a very "mouse" that allows you to change station/songs with a mouse scroll wheel as well as volume. Pretty much everything in the unit you can fully customize. The nav is very accurate and has a lot more points of interest than i ever expected. Sound quality is great with plenty of equalizer options. Bluetooth is a great function- i guess you dont always sound incredibly clear on the other end but no real complaints. If youre in the market for a multimedia system to handle everything you need- look no further. I had looked at pioneers and jensens and the extras you needed to buy were just too much. This is BY FAR the best bang for the buck. Dont hesistate because you want to buy a name brand. Youll end up with a better unit and only spend half the money.

The Best All-in-one Money Can Buy
By Warren
I have a wonderful 10 year old Volkswagen Passat that works perfectly but the original audio cassette needs replacing. As I had just sold my 2007 Nissan and returned to the Passat (didn't drive or perform as well as the Turbo 2.0 and the old Passat still gets 36 mpg highway) money was no object as I searched for the best possible all in one system.

I was disappointed by all the well known top end products. They had many weaknesses, i.e. poor iPod support, poor integration (ie. you could either navigate OR listen to the radio but not both). Also, I needed an in-dash system. I gambled on the Valor because although there wasn't any negative info, there wasn't any positive info at the time.

After purchase, I was going to install the device myself, but after reading the manual, opted for the Tweeter custom installer. Tweeter Rockville did an excellent job for about $200.

I was impressed from the minute I turned the unit on. It is very well designed. It took a few minutes to understand when to use the two dial system and when to use the touch screen (you want to use both for speed), but the interface shows much thought. As soon as you turn it on, the display extends out and folds up for viewing. The radio quality is superb and it has a button at the top of the unit that will automatically program in all the strong stations. I was concerned that my poor radio quality with the original stereo had been the fault of the antenna, and happy to find the new unit fixed the problem.

The iPod interface is the best I've seen. I have the latest 3G iPhone and while it doesn't provide the right power to charge the iPhone, with the iPod jack (that tweeter installed nicely in a recessed area just beneath the stereo), I could fully control all iPod features of the iPhone from the Valor's large 7" display. This is incredible to be able to use the touch screen to access playlists and and the scroll wheels to fly through the lists of music and audiobooks. The sound is great. The one odd but minor weakness is that to view video from the iPhone/iPod, you must hit play on the iPod device.

The navigation system is interesting in that it clearly is a custom product and not the standard Garmin or Magellan product bolted on. This is both bad and great. It's bad because you have to spend several minutes learning a new Nav interface. It's great because it is fully integrated within the unit. That means that when you plan a trip, the navigation still works as you listen to the iPod or Radio. There is a single convenient display Switch button that toggles between the Nav and other active display. I don't recall that any other unit got this feature right. And regardless of what you are listening to or viewing, the Nav system's voice can/(will by default) gently pause the audio, tell you the turn that's coming up and return you to the audio as you would expect. Again, reviews of other products showed they came up short in this area.

I have not used the DVD, bluetooth or remote control features yet.

When turning off the unit, it conveniently puts the display away. There is one quality issue I haven't had a chance to look into .. the video seems to flicker. It may be auto adjusting to the light, so I need to check the settings. In all, I like that I no longer have to mess with attaching a GPS to the Window or dash and I like being able to fully control iPod music from the device. If you have an older car and need an in-dash unit, this is absolutely the best product you can buy.

Valor NVG-720W
By Robert Leverton
I've had my Valor NVG-720W for 2.5 years now. Within the first year the screen would no longer retract back into the chassis when I shut down my vehicle. I guess it's not a problem since it failed while it was open. However, what really irks me is over the past year I've had vertical colored lines appear in the screen. The first time they disappeared after about 2 months. Now 6 months later I have the same stripes showing up again. I can still use the touch screen but the appearance of any videos is affected as long as the lines are visible. The iPod connection only worked once and now it won't connect. The GPS works fine. However I like how the Garmin GPS lets you know the name of the street your supposed to turn on. The Valor only says turn at the next street. I wouldn't buy another Valor product based on my current experience.
