Gunbir most higher Pioneer HUs including the Pioneer 7700 suffer from "bright" display related issues which
cant be set right using the "dim" feature, thats the only point I wanted to make.
Below is the review for Pioneer DEH-P80MP (another High Pioneer HU) which was returned for the same reason (being annoying display):

My biggest gripe is the display though, it constantly changes from dim to bright making it very distracting when driving at night. This alone made me return this unit for something more conventional. If you are really into gadgets and like a lot of flash, this would be a great unit. If you are like me, however, and want something a little easier to use and less showy I would pick a different unit.

I have owned 3 Pioneer head-units over the years and none have disappointed, this one also holds true to that history. Only two things kept me from giving it a 5 of 5. One was that at night the display can be bright even with the dimmer turned on. As a matter of fact there is only a minimal difference between dimmer on and off. Also, the receiver eye for the remote seems to be mounted to the right of the unit.
Same can be read about the Pioneer 6700 and Pioneer 7700 on the links below:

The only reason I had mentioned this was, that as a forum we tend to highlight the faults and problems the prespective buyers might face. We mention that new Alpines have CD eject problems, we mention Sony has MP3 reading problems, similarly we should highlight problems faced by Pioneer users. Your statement that "dim" feature fixes this issue was misleading as the customers complaint about bright display even after turning that setting on, thats the only point I wanted to bring home.
