Customer Testimonial

Sonic is tough to beat with everything they offer. Great products, installation kit, and wire harness make installation a breeze. Next time I need equipment I know where to look first.

I've never been overly in awe with head units due to the way it looked in conjunction with the features, durability, ease of use, and "Does it have the options I want?", but with this one, it's been great.



The mini screen is very eye pleasing and can display various information screens, i.e. clock, album cover info, HD Radio info, etc,. The expandability allows for just about anything my mind can come up with, but for now, I just use it for the iPod interface. The interface is really nice and works well. While the connection takes control of the iPod, the navigation and ease of use on the unit is outstanding and by far the best I've seen. Works with iPhones too.



I've never had an issue using this head unit and it looks great with excellent options and ease of use for novice to expert audiophiles. Mine is in my Golf GTI pushing out to a RF T1000tb with 2 L7's with factory speak's and it sounds great!

I love this unit! i have it installed in my jetta and the quality is amazing. It pushes ample power of my stock speakers(soon to upgrade). The best part is the control you have over you ipod, the integration system is the best i've ever seen. i would recommend this to anyone, it is well worth the money
