Bought this about a year and a half ago. It's simple, but worked well until it started having problems. It will no longer read any CD's or USB drives and just displays error code E3. I've never had a unit crap out this early. Obviously, not very happy with it now.

This radio has been in my super duty for one yr. now bouncing along the highway w/o ever skipping on the CD. The radio has always worked flawlessly and so has the thumb.
Why this was discontinued I'll never know-A quality product from Panasonic to say the least. Price was $114- no ship free wire harness/adapter/.

Stereo is awesome. Love the features but did not fit as smooth in my ford ranger 2002. Had to do some trimming to my dash for fitment. Not always a good idea.

Customer Testimonial

Found an outstanding price-much lower than any other online retailer. Got all the installation stuff free and FREE shipping, which is nice in a time when so often we see super low prices, offset by ridiculous shady shipping fees. Great site-will buy from here again in the future.
