Good quality, I've had it for about 6 months now and hasn't failed me yet... I wish it was even a little bit customizable. its not at all... you cant even change the background image :( and sound adjustments are extremely simple, bass mid, treble. good for some people but not for me . really lacking any features at all.

This Clarion player looks great and sounds great. The SQ is perfect.

I have had a lot of Clarion players and as always Clarion delivers great quality with great price.
Pros: SQ, looks/design and Menu options.

Cons: the USB cable is just to short to reach out of the dash. So u need an extension.

Also, Sonic Electronix has great service and I will buy here again!

I got this about 4 months ago and it is amazing. it has its moments and some cons but the sound quality and look is just perfect. the cons of this product is that when you want to go back a menu it does not save where you were in your iPod. I'm currently using a 5th gen iPod video and and search is slow. you can not just go to a alphabet letter you must scroll for a very long time if you have a lot of artists. i have yet to see the video, i am too cheap to buy the cord that allows your stereo to have video from the iPod. it also seems a bit fragile but haven't had anything break. it also has a glitch every once in a while, but all it needs is a restart.

Customer Testimonial

My first order with Sonic Electronix.. everything turned out fine. Great service even though I didn't talked to any one on the phone, but the transaction time was very good. I got my Head unit pretty fast. I would recommend anyone to shop at sonic..
