This deck is quite nice, i was impressed at all the features and ease of control. I bought it because of the front USB which is great. A 4GB memory stick easily holds all my song and can be updated easily so it beats CD's. Also the CD reader must be better than most because CD's that normally skip in my friends vehicle don't seem to skip at all (or not as much) in this deck.

But my favorite part would have to be the feature that allows me to change the background color Red/Green. I choose green because it matches my interior and my dash lights.

After buying this and later doing better research I've discovered that though this is a great deck without any problems, it seems to be a tad bit more expensive than other decks of its class.

I have seen this in a local shop for nearly double the price, and worth every penny. But thanks to SonicElectronix it's the best of both worlds

Customer Testimonial

I called and Amanda picked up and in 3 minutes she had my order locked down and out the door by that night. Because of you I now will only buy my stuff from here. P.S. She has a very sincere voice and was easy to understand. Thank you Sonic!
