I love the sound. It takes time and some reading (manual isn't the best) to get it set up. My only real problem is that my smartphone (Motorola Blur) doesn't work well with it. The Bluetooth works fine but my phonebook is in a continuous download mode. It downloads fine and 20-30 seconds later it starts downloading again and again etc. The download screen is annoying and I really need the clock.
It drove me back to my old phone which is not a good thing. Anyone else having this problem?

Overall a great product. Not the easiest to use but once you get used to it, it's not bad. Bluetooth capability works great except when doing voice text. Maybe cause I have a convertible.

So I figured that buying this headunit would completely eliminate the need for any cords since I have music on my phone. WRONG. The built in Bluetooth on this piece does not support media streaming. Had I known, I would have went with a cheapo Kenwood and bought the $125 Bluetooth adapter that DOES stream music via Bluetooth.
Other than that, as usual, its a really nice head unit. Love all of the other features and I would highly suggest someone buying this if they only want to use the Bluetooth for phone conversations.
