This head unit is great, I love that it hides and charges my ipod. Its very easy to use and install. Everyone I show it too thinks its a cd player, the looks on there faces when I pull out my ipod are classic. I would recommend this head unit to anyone and the price is great compared to the other digital head units. But I do wish sony included a carry case with the unit.

This is a good system. I bought it because I bought a subwoofer and needed a new head unit. It is very cool looking and I love the ipod attachment. My ipod touch fits perfectly and does not bounce around.



The only con is that it takes a long time to find a specific song on your ipod, I have 600. Also the volume knob is a little cheap.



I would definetly buy this product again.
