i dont know about that one... but i have the older sony m610 (i think)... one of the first ones that .. maybe the first one that has the black screen (not sure at all really, but i think it is). i love it, but to tell you the truth i NEVER have it folded up when im driving. it is always down and i always use the controls, i never use my remote. even if i do use the remote, i still ahve it down h:

if you want a flat black deck.. go with the pioneer one, its also detachable.. which is key

just my opinion.
