The head unit looks cool but dont even think about using the CD player because it skips on every bump (even one you dont know you hit) the Aux port and USB charger are the only positives.

May 18, 2011 Quite swell!

I mainly bought this because I had 3 criteria for a HU I wanted: iPod connection that charged and connected through the rear of the HU; had green lights to match dash lighting, was relative cheap.

And to my delight so far, everything has gone swell! There are a few exceptions, it sometimes randomly turns off while Im pushing buttons, but I think thats because the face plate might not be totally secured. Also I think it leaves my iPod on even when the car/radio is off, so the battery goes dead after sitting for a while which isnt a problem since my iPod is dedicated to staying in the car.

But other then that for the price, the iPod functionality and being able to scroll through the iPods playlist with ease, it did every thing I expected it to!
