I've owned 2 clarion decks in the past and this one is awsome. The bluetooth works great even though the mic is built in. Easy to connect to my iphone/ipod.

I wouldn't recommend this stereo to anyone who likes user friendly interfaces. So... I wouldn't really recommend this stereo to anyone. While cosmetically the design is pretty cool, it's actually a hassle. The dial is ultra-sensitive, and not labeled well. Built-in Bluetooth is a plus, but the screen is so small that the process of tethering is too much of a pain. The switchable Rear-Subwoofer pre-out is awful, and I wouldn't have bought this if I'd known. Guess I'll have to read more carefully.
Really, if you want anything other than a very simple, hard to use, cool looking head unit, buy something else!
