But that's about it. Had unit installed for 7 weeks before the AM/FM tuner stopped working. 3 weeks too long for Sonics 30day warranty to cover it. Had to deal with rude customer support at dual and send back to dual at my cost. will have hole in dash for 3-5 weeks while waiting for replacement. easy to install. decent sound if you use the loud button. hd radio sounds great but only a couple hd stations where i live.

I am very happy with this purchase. The stereo came with all the correct parts for installation. It arrived quickly and fit perfectly into the car. I had been to several stores that said it would be impossible to find a stereo to fit my small car and said I would need to spend a lot on finding the right installation parts and may need to alter my dash...Using your chart was easy and there were no problems at all. The stereo sounds great and I love it!
