A few years ago clarion was one of the best decks you could own. They are not near the same quality. I thought with the clarion name and the good price that included the good features with the navigation being the selling point I had gotten a great deal. The audio quality was very disappointing, the deck I had in for half the price sounded better. that come that came with it reading reading them but but a very plain and dull in person. The navigation unit worked great, until a few months after I bought i start a c start t and th and the screen i is blank all all that shows up is Clarion then nothing else. CD player works but you can't change any tracks radio would work too if it was on the channel that got reception but didn't as I was traveling at the time. th the processor when when ou went out and the unit was no able to be repaired. Replaced it with a pioneer 4400 the features my system now only sounds better what i my system now only sounds better what is louder d an and I highly recommend to anyone. The Pioneer 1400 and are the reason I went with th the reason I went with the 4400 is because I if you're looking to upgrade more than just the head unit and add amps and speakers then you must get the 4 volt pr amp hook ups. If you just want the best unit available for under 700 get the 4400. Best under 400 get the 3400 and if you want to save some more and not have one or two features get the 1400. I did A Lot of research on this after the clarion broke as you can tell by the novel. Outside of the pioneer units the second best models on the market are the Kenwood DDX models. Hope this helps. A lot of time went into that information

I have owned this unit for a little over 1 year. During this past year it has jumped songs on iPod mode, switched radio stations on its own and recently the screen froze so I couldn't use it for anything more than just the radio. Now it has been sent away for warranty and will not be back for approx 4-8 weeks I am told. What takes 4-8 weeks? I would like to get rid of this one and buy a Kenwood, heard they are more costly but WELL worth it!

Works great except for the volume control. Keeps going up until I sit there for 1 to 2 minutes and one click at a time the volume will go down. The iPod is randomly switching playlists/songs. GPS is decent. I noticed not a lot of points of interest where I live but found out how to store them. Somehow the address came up automatically after punching in the name of business in the nav menu. The speedo on the gps menu is cool. Very spot on. I with the searching for points of interest were easier like if you were trying to find a different place to eat. Maybe mexican food. italian, pizza joints, even fast food or sit down restaraunt sub categories. I wish the equalizer had a mid basb level control. The audio definately sounds better when you have the audio on loud. Mine was a piece of crumb cake to bolt it in my 01 eclipse, with sirius and backup camera and hd stuff. plenty of room for everything.

I have had this unit for a few months now. Overall it has been pretty good. The GPS gets me where I need to go, radio an sat works great. I have tinted windows so I don't get much of a reflection; but this unit did not fit in my car. The unit it's self was too big for the double din slot in my Dodge Nitro; I had to take off the full cover and shave it down on the car.
Recently I started having sirius issues; where my presets would be deleted. This has begun to happen a few times a month and becomes very anoying. No one at clarion is any help, I have tried to reset the unit serveral times with no luck. With these 2 problems, and the lack of customer support, this has turned me off from the unit and plan on staying away from clarion.
GPS works ok; gets me from A to B, though the maps are not updated, and at times becomes very unclear on directions. The radio works as its supposed to; i find the iPod freezes on me and stops playing randomly.
Overall I would probably stay away from clarion after this purchase... I plan on buying a more reputable navigation for a few extra $$...
If anyone knows of a fix for the Sat radio, please let me know,

I've had this unit for about 6 months and I'm pleased with the radio. However, the GPS map is about 2 years old and after countless conversations with Clarion and Horizon mapping, there seems to be no interest in ever updating the map. so as long as you don't plan on going anywhere newer than 10 or 12 years then you'll be ok.
