    Nice unit. Very good price!!

    I just recieved my boss unit today. Installed it. Didnt need the antenna adapter that Sonic recommended. But no big deal. The unit seems to work fine so far. They do great fast shipping and free installation accessories. Overall seems to be a nice unit for the best price out there. Will definitely buy more from Sonic. Thanks. Very satisfied.

    Great, if you don't want to mess with a CD

    Very nice product to date. Plays tons of music off a single thumb drive. The drive actually cost more than the player! Works well in a small car with limited room to mount a system.

    Fits my MGB like a charm. Need one for the other car now!

    Not the radio for FM listeners...

    Ordered this radio as a replacement for the factory tape deck on my 93 dodge W250 cummins. The factory unit burned out, and Sonic had this one for cheaper than the junkyard wanted for another tape deck. The free install kit sealed the deal.

    At first I thought it was defective - half the LCD screen was not working when I hooked it up. Tried the reset button, nothing. Finally, I disconnected the harness in back and re-connected and the screen works great now.

    The sound quality of this radio is awesome in my truck, plenty loud and clear.

    The main reason I bought this was to listen to the local FM stations. Unfortunately, the FM tuner is horrible. It has great sensitivity, it will pick up even the weakest stations. But it has bad selectivity, so that it can not maintain that station without constantly jumping back and fourth to other stations farther out or just plain RF static. I live in the country, and there are only three stations in town, none of which I prefer. The other stations from nearby towns still come in fine and clear in other people's cars, but not in mine anymore.

    The USB port failed to read my MP3's on a 8gb thumb drive, but it does work great to charge my phone. The AUX port also works as expected.

    Finally, there is no provision to dim the lights on the stereo at night. Most units have a wire that takes power from the headlight switch, but not this one. It is bright, but I can live with it for the price.

    Overall, I wish I had spent the extra 5 or 10 dollars for a better unit. The radio is better than a dead one, but when the truck finally goes to the junkyard, this will likely go with it!

    okay for the price

    It definitely performs pretty well but the radio turning on every time you turn your car on does get tiredsome. And the users manual doesn't show how to set the clock. Overall though I like how it let's you set many preset stations and it has an audio jack for mp3 players and such.

    Beautiful look and design

    Easy to use, looks great, low price, the only thing which I like less: the default level volume is a bit too high: 17.
    Connected to 2 BOSS amplifiers, CX800 and SE450, 4 6-1/2's (CH6530), 2 12" subwoofers (P126DVC). Everything is BOSS and works well. Don't regret.
    Looks great in my 32 Ford Hot rod

    Love This Receiver!

    I bought this for my Toyota pickup and I am so glad I did! The SD reader holds a large chunk of my music collection and sounds amazing! It was a easy install and was well worth the money and more! I liked it so much I bought a second one for my daughter's car! Value + Quality sound make this a deal worth taking!

    You get what you paid for!

    You are probably considering this stereo due to it's price. I feel I got my $50s worth, but it is a VERY basic setup.
    Cons:
    1.can't play music with the USB plug. If you want to play music with your mp3, you need to use the auxiliary. Not a big deal, but it makes for unnecessary plugs.
    2. The outer lining for the holder doesn't fit around the stereo (at least for my Pontiac vibe), so it isn't flush with the
    dashboard.
    3. You need to hold a button for it to show the tinge, and it only flashes for a few seconds before returning to the RADIO ori AUX screen...I have no idea why they decided to do that.
    4. The forward/backward button don't work for anything plugged into the aux, or at least with iPhone 4s, Samsung galaxies, and HTC ones.

    Pros:
    It's 50 dollars. It would have been 30 dollars to get a wireless radio that plugs into the car lighter. The axillary works fine, and that's all I need it for, so I'm happy enough with it. However, it may be worth your time to spend the extra 20 dollars for something else, unless you are looking for something minimal, in which case this is great!

    I also want to mention that I never tried the sd card insert.

    Correction on clock setting

    Just a minor correction on my previous review on how to set the clock:

    Setting the clock:
    ================
    -Press and hold the "MODE CLK" button for 2 seconds until the time is displayed.
    -Press and hold the "MODE CLK" button for another 2 seconds until the hours start flashing, adjust with the volume knob.
    -Tap the volume button in momentarily, the minutes will start flashing, adjust with the volume knob. You can tap the volume knob again to get back to the hours setting.
    -Wait until the clock display disappears. The clock has now been set!

    It was what I expected

    A typical limited feature budget player from China. It works, but for how long is the question. No problems so far.
