this headunit is awesome! It can change any color to match your dash lights and the other thing i like a lot about it is all the settings comes with built in user selectable crossovers and gains. The Bluetooth works very well unless you have the mic all the way up. It will even play music off of a external hard drive or flash-drive. i would recommend this product to anyone.
