I am very happy with this head unit except the screen is very difficult to read whenever the sun is out whether I have it set to dimmed mode or not. Everything else about this unit is EXCELLENT. I would in future get one of the "blue" screens with white text for a head unit display.

Has met my expectations for a replacement system for my truck. I do recommend it to anyone looking for an in-dash replacement. The only negative for me is that the clock does not display with the radio off and the truck ignition on.

I have installed this stereo in many cars and hopefully will in many more to come. For the price you cant beat the dual RCA outputs and the USB port. Also the search function works great on iPods! All of my customers loved this stereo and it was also very easy to get use to. Highly recommended!

I just got it in the mail today. I got it on time. I had ordered something else and had to call sonicelecytonix and they were very helpful, understanding and polite. Awesome customer survice. But, to the point, this was a good deal. The set it easy to put together and sounds amazing. Plays all my usb drives, hardrives, cellphone, ipod, mp3 player music. Made my stock system sound even better. Looks nice. Easy to work with. Pops right off so you can hide it or take it with you. Great deal. I saw some in an audio store, same one, for 169.99.
