Review written by Jose from Brownsville, TX
i have this thing hooked to my MTX system and it really helps alot i take all the bass and lower the subwoofer to -15 and it still pounds. the best feature is the USB port which you is very easy to use. just plug it in and it will start playing automatically. no more burning and wasting cds with this thing. i used to hate it when i downloaded new songs and i couldn't listen to them until i burned a cd with the song in it but with this i don't have to worry about it no more and neither will you.

Review written by Mike from Omaha, NE
I wanted to replace my factory deck. I chose the KDC-X492. The USB and the Aux inputs are really nice. I have a bunch of USB sticks that I keep music on. After replacing my factory deck with this, it seemed like my music came alive. The highs and the mids are more clear and sound better. The navigation is some what difficult to understand at first but I got used to it. When the sun hits the display, it is difficult to read. But, the display looks great at night. Overall, this is a great product. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
