First of all : you can HIDE it. You can build it into your trunk and nobody will ever know it's installed in your car. Believe me, this is a good thing.
I DO NOT like the way the empeg has to be completely removed 'to be safe'. A removable front piece would have been nice

I, personally, have had an 800$ removable face plate CD player stolen from me. This has happened to a couple of my friends as well. In my opinion they offer little to no deterrant to a thief who can just pickup another face plate for 80-100$.

The fact that it is completely removable is a VERY big positive feature for me. I bought a tuffy center consol specifically for that purpose, because it is pick proof and pry proof. I'm not losing another $800+ head unit due to theft.

Just my 2 cents.. ;)
