I've had it for six months and I still love it. I play WMA files off a CD and off the 1GB SD chip. I run my MP3 player thru the AUX jack and I get enough HD channels to make it worth listening. Plus, I can set the volume for when the car turns on. All in all I'm impressed.
That being said, here are the quirks. The SD chip sometimes takes up to fifteen seconds to go to the next track. And then it sometimes repeats the previous track. There are also only 255 tracks you can access on the SD chip or the CD, so make sure you know how many tracks are on your media.
The iPod adapter says it works with certain iPods. My friend has three of the types and while you can access the iPod, it seems you can only play them in a linear order and not skip around.
The LCD screen is bright enough, but I seem to be too tall in the seat and so see more of the backlight. I've tried to angle the radio up but it doesn't help much.
I live 60 miles outside Orlando and the HD channels all come in strong. Rarely do they pop off and come back on, but that does happen.
I like keeping my eyes on the road, so I keep the remote handy and it does its job well.
One other trick I like about it. You can scroll through your music files on the SD chip or the CD and you can also search for a specific track. I don't use it a lot, but when I want to find a certain song quick, it comes in handy.
All in all, this was a definite upgrade from my last stereo. I hope it lasts as long.

so far so good, only problem is that it goes to the iPod source for no reason sometimes, this is very infrequent.
