Very good stereo for how much you pay for it. Though there are no buttons for presetting radio stations. But the volume wheel doubles as one. It can play ipods through an ipod cable which is great, it makes the audio quality better and the chord lasts much longer than auxiliary cables. But you can use those too. It's very versatile in use. The one problem is the interface is a little tough to get used to. But you can figure it out fairly quick. All in all, great device!

i bought this radio to replace my 3 year old JVC KD340 in my Blazer. I thought my KD340 was loud until i hooked up this radio. The sound quality is so crisp and clear i can finally get what i paid for out of my Infinity speakers. I love the USB port on the front where i can hook up my ipod and control it with the little dial like a scroll wheel. Worth every penny! I would recommend this to a friend.
