I have a pioneer X710BT stereo out of my "98 MarkVIII for sale. It includes all cables and wires, along with microphone, GPS antenna, backup camera, Iphone/Ipod connecting cables, etc. I went back to my original radio since I'm selling the car. This stereo unit has a better GPS unit than my Toyota. The bluetooth works great with my Iphone. It will accept an SD card and plays CD's (It will not play DVDs. That is the X910BT, but supposedly this unit will play videos from an Ipod/Iphone (I don't have an Ipod, and never tried to play videos)). It does have a nice display when connected to an Ipod or Iphone for your playlists. Accepts voice commands, but I never used that much. I installed the backup camera because I could...Not exactly a necessity. I mainly listened to NPR talk radio so don't really have a critical ear for sound quality, but definitely no loss of quality from the original radio. I have the JBL premium radio in my car, so the two connectors included with the stereo will plug directly into the OEM connectors in cars wih that existing sound system. I have done the bypass which allows the not recommended access to functions that normally would be locked out when vehicle is moving. Unit has no scratches on screen.
Here is the Pioneer web site with all the info. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-X710BT
I am including a surround piece but it's not the full mounting kit. That didn't work for me, but the frame I'm including does make the unit look nice and tight. I never did really secure the unit, as it was snug enough just shoved into place. You do have to trim a little of the plastic around the double din opening on the car to make it fit, and also relocate the module behind the radio, but those instructions can be found elsewhere on this site. It's pretty obvious once you take the old unit out. The most difficult part was getting the correct surround and connectors. Then running the wires to the back for the camera required at least two beer breaks.
I'm asking $300 shipped for this unit (Paypal only). There are some available for less, but they are not completely set up for a MarkVIII with all cables, accessories, soldered connectors, etc.

Sorry pictures are fuzzy. Display is actually pretty sharp.
