This is a Great HU. Bluetooth is very easy to set up and work Flawless, auto connect to the phone when you start the car is great, built in Mic work very well. mic have 5 levels of gain so you need to play with that in the menu to set the mic to your cabin. mine is set at 1 and works great, I speak normal and is loud and clear in the other end. Power is great, tuner sounds very good in FM. only downside for me is that the tuner doesn't Have a Seek Mode so you have to keep pressing the tune buttom to go thru the stations. Bluethooth audio streaming from my Android phone(HTC EVO)is Awsome and quality of sound is great, usb work great, but I have an older model Ipod and the HU does not recognize the song tittles,artis etc. just reads the file numbers and with 13 gigs of music is impossible to find music just with file numbers. also in the older models ipods the unit blocks the controls from the Ipod and is really hard to find music from the HU, the good thing is that doesen't happen with the newer Ipods or Iphones. I am planning to get a 32 GB Micro SD card for my phone download all my music to the phone memory card and stream the music by bluethooth. Overall Best bang for the buck!!!

installed in 95 accord ex. deck provides ample means to play music. i have over 60 gigs of music at my fingertips now via bluetooth (connected to phone), ipod adapter (30gb ipod), mp3 disc, and usb port (have 8 gb mem stick plugged-in). the deck is a little confusing to control at first, but is wonderful as far as performance. i love the hp and lp filters as well as adjust the subs separately; this really lets me crank up music with minimal distortion. only con is that i wish it had built-in hd radio, but it is hd ready and has hook-ups to ensure you don't lose your sterring wheel radio controls if your vehicle has them.

Has every option I need including a strong volt output for the sub amp. My first time having a bluetooth option to stream the music from my smartphone to this sweetass head unit. Most importantly, easy to use 'search' for folders & files when in a hurry to crank up an MP3 that was requested.

Great unit. Works perfectly has great sound and looks clean in my dash. 4v pre outs for higher quality sound. For the price you can't beat it. Easy to use iPod connection is a plus.

Nice HU all the features i wanted for a decent price. Its worked great for me, the only con is no 7 band equalizer. Good controls for tuning subwoofer and blending speakers.
The bluetooth does not work right with my phone (LG Optimus V), it will work fine initially but if I have to turn the car on and off it will not reconnect properly. (might be a problem with the phone, or android)
