I highly recommend this product Its user friendly,cool design and very low maintenance.... I had this about 6-12 months and I'm in love with this head unit....I like the usb connection for my 60gb I-pod which I have the video cable connected also so I watch movies,videos and listen to all the music .....I have not played a cd in months...I also like that when I play my I-pod it looks exactly like the actual I-pod playing only with a cooler design..I especially love the hands-free bluetooth capabilities it's very clear you can control the microphone gain and the actual volume. The sound comes out of your front speakers...I know it sounds like I'm advertising for sonic but believe me I'm not...I'm just telling the truth buy it and you will see for yourself....Peace out!!!! PS THE PRICE IT IS NOW I WISH I COULD OF GOT IT FOR THAT PRICE BUT I GOT IT TOO SOON BUT IT STILL WORTH IT AND MORE...

March 10, 2009 Great Unit

I\'ve used this unit for about 4 months now and found it to be a great overall unit for an upgrade from a stock unit. Great sound quality and overall ease of use coupled with a ton of features makes this a good unit for the price.

The only fault that I\'ve encountered is with the low line drive from the unit (2v pre-out) and the 3 band eq. Paired with the Clarion EQS 746 this is easily overcome.

I am an avid car audio enthusiast. I have spent months deciding on what single din unit I wanted to put in my 02 dodge ram, quad cab. I like my music loud, clear and able to accept all the latest technology, I believe this is all our desires filled, without dropping a $1000.00. I am extremely happy with the ease of this unit, touch screen and clarity. (I’ve seen em all first hand and this matches any other top of the line unit, believe me.) If you aren’t a fan of loud music and just function, then you'll get it all with this unit. Now SQ improves 100% on a factory system. After installing multi channel amp, mono amp, and subs, the sound quality needed a boost, especially for the subs, I needed to add the clarion 7 band equalizer, which improved SQ unbelievably. One wish was it had been all in one unit.

Pros/ Clarity ease of use, sleek design, Bluetooth, excellent USB controls, all the latest technology included in this unit except radio HD. Great SQ on factory system. Never touch a cd again. easy easy install.

Cons/ Low equalizer functions and capability. Especially when installing aftermarket system, mainly you will hear it in your subwoofer guaranteed. Add an equalizer and you’re completed.

OVERALL/ Unbelievable unit for price!!!!! True competitors and sound quality enthusiasts should think twice. This unit is smack dab in the middle class of all stereos; anyone looking for it all for a great price will be completely satisfied. Don’t pay ungodly amounts for any other head unit that wont do as many functions as this will, (I cant stress this enough) if you like your ears to bleed and need a receiver capable of handling everything you throw at it, Be weary, this unit is there to replace your factory head unit and have every function with ease and usability capable to mankind.
