Just got this deck installed, replaced factory GM deck with this. I could almost turn the stock deck to full volume and still remain in car. I cannot seem to listen to the Sony deck much above 1/3 the volume. Lots more power in Sony deck. 7 band EQ is great item to have, very few decks have this much adjustment. The access to USB drives is slow as it is mentioned in other's reviews, but upgrade over stock deck is such a huge change, hard to complain. I have not tried video playback yet, but I have high hopes it will be great. One note for GM owners looking at aftermarket decks, there are two plugs in back of stock unit. One is 24 pin and the other 12 pin. The 12 pin is for AUX inputs to stock deck. Therefore the 12 pin is left hanging in back as it is not needed in the new install. It took me time to discover its purpose, that is why I'm sharing the knowledge.

I recommend this product to anyone! It is very user friendly. The DVD feature is great with a beautiful picture! I have no complaints about this headunit at all! I run this with an Audioque HDC3 15" subwoofer and Audiopipe 15001d Amplifier and it slams. Definitely get this unit if you're looking for an affordable in dash touch screen with a beautiful picture!

When I initially purchased this head unit I couldn't believe the price. The first one I got worked for about 2 minutes then the screen and buttons went blank and unresponsive. After ordering a new one and a week later I finally had my head unit in my car and working. The functions on this are great but it tends to be a little laggy at times. Also, it sometimes doesn't recognize my ipod. For the price I couldn't be happier. If you are looking for a basic model, this is for you!

This unit has been nothing but problems from install. I have very expensive subs, and no control of the sound to them. No function to turn on/off the subs. Radio volume goes crazy on its own. Cranks way loud then I turn it down and it cranks loud again. Have to power down to reset volume. Radio worked good for a week, now its going nuts. Wont turn off with remote accessory.
DVD works great, but the overall unit is garbage. Takes awhile to read DVD, and no other sources will work on this unit. No flash drive or iPod will read through ports. Must be a defective head unit, but its got me so frustrated I won't buy Sony ever again.

I order a 32gb iPod Touch (2nd generation) cheaper than I could find anywhere else and received my order promptly and could not be happier with service your company provides. Well done SonicElectronix, you definitely have a return customer!
