I bought this radio because Sonic was back ordered on the Dual XHD 6430. I'm glad they were out.

This is a really nice radio. It works perfectly with my IPod touch. I love the USB function though because I only use my IPod on trips. Memory sticks are cheap and I don't worry about them coming up missing.

I live in North Central Florida, sort of in the sticks. I was worried about the HD reception here. No problem, I get tons of HD stations.

I would definitely recommend this radio.

This was my first purchase from Sonic. It won't be my last. Funny how the best deal in Florida was in California.

Free Shipping and the included installation kit was nice too.

Customer Testimonial

This web site has some great prices, and as long as you hire more people like Joey, youll have great customer service to go along with it. As a guy that has been in the call center/customer service business for 15 years, I was glad to speak to Joey. Hopefully it all ends well when I get the new sub.
