I bought this head unit a couple days ago and it is great. I like having it. This product is not too expensive and it has everything i need.
Pros- I like having the ipod controls either through the deck or the ipod itself
-The colors are awesome and when its on demo mode it changes colors that's awesome
-I like the subwoofer crossover control
-Sound quality is amazing. and loud ( there is really no need for a speaker amp)
Cons- There is one, its about all the functions are hidden in the deck and take some time to get to them. Once you learn the deck its really not that bad anymore
I have owned pioneer, valor, kenwood and jvc decks. I decided to go back with jvc because its style, its sound quality, and its price.

Pros: Looks and feels good, easy to navigate. Gotta love all the display colors, with its own button for quickly setting them. Easy face detach and enough display dimming at night, unlike my pricey Alp unit in other car. Sound without external amp is as good as I've heard on any head unit, fine for second car or car of s.o. Lack of preset button is a pro b/c of clean look, and it's hard to hit little buttons while driving anyway. Lots and lots of adjust-ability, like automatic clock set through XM, and controlling iPod through head unit or iPod itself.
Cons: Must learn to change stations w/o preset buttons. NO power antenna wire to connect if you need one to raise antenna with use of FM. Didn't see that coming, assumed they all had it, oh well I don't use FM anyway.

I bought this from a sore in Fort Wayne called D&B Sales. Very nice head unit, seems to be very sturdy and tough. I like how you can change the colors and there is lots of settings for bass, treble, mid range, amp gain, and there is lots of tuning for subwoofers. If you are looking to upgrade your head unit then this is a good way to go. I upgraded this from a Kenwood after-market head unit, to this there is no need to explain! THIS THING ROCKS!!!!

This head unit has nice power and clarity without having to purchase extra power. If there is a downside it would be learning where the main control buttons are located. It can be unsafe looking for buttons while driving.
