That's perfect..... unless you want Nav. 
You have to buy a specific iPod cable... that's it. It hooks right up.

Ah. I'm sorry I misspoke. I was thinking of a different model. Yeah it has nav, lol.
Okay, I don't know what kind of system you have in mid for this thing, but a couple things to think about.
1. There are only 2 preouts for the 5120, meaning no preout for a subwoofer. For me, that was the deal breaker. I HAD to get the 7120 for my setup. (4ch amp running F+R speakers, Mono amp running 12" sub on the sub preout.)
2. The screen is significantly smaller. Compared to the 7" screen
boink, this just wasn't doing it for me.
If you're just doing some nice speakers and don't mind a smaller screen, OR if you just find a helluva deal then jump on it. But if you want some real bass or maybe need something more, I'd say look for a deal on another model.

What kind of deal did you get exactly? My mom is looking for a unit w/ Nav.

Honestly, I think all In dash navi units suck. A lot of factory units are garbage too. I hear the portable's like TomTom and etc. do a better job because they are more easily updated. I just dont like how those units look inside the car plus indash units serve more than just navi.
I had an Eclipse avn5435 that was ok but it was sketchy too. Toyota uses Eclipse units and it looks almost identical.
Even though I know that the navi isnt up to par, im still wanting to spend money on one just because it's better than nothing. The point is to have a "all-in-one" kinda unit. All brands lack something that another has.
