I have really enjoyed owning this stereo, and have had no major issues except for one thing, the knob. I don't know why they decided to make such a difficult to use joystick styled knob for this stereo, but it can at times be very frustrating. Over the six or so months that I've owned it I have gotten pretty accustomed to how to toggle everything just right so that it clicks the new songs/item/etc instead of clicking go back or forward or let's switch to alphabetical search. I would say it's mostly difficult to use by my friends or whoever else is riding in my car because they can never seem to be able to actually click the song they are choosing without multiple back and forth attempts and/or I just have to do it for them. One last thing that has bothered me, but hasn't caused me any major issues is when I have the heat on in my car my ipod will get EXTREMELY hot inside the stereo. It gets almost to the point it feels like it's going to burn you when you get it out, but i suppose the ipod can handle it since it hasn't shown any signs of wear from the heat. Besides these things I think it's a really nice stereo for the price, and I would recommend it!
