This is a great deck. Like another reviewer, I also had this in a car I sold, and I really miss it! Easy to use, sounds excellent, can hook an iPod up to it, and Alpine quality. This is the highest quality, easy to use stereo for your car you can buy if you don't need something really crazy. I have put Alpine stereos in every car I've owned. Never a single problem, always the best sound quality and ease of use. You will not regret it!
