Customer Testimonial

Sonic was very patient with all of my questions about installing and purchasing products. I took more time then most people would. Not once did Mr Brendan H. give me any negative feedback. I would highly recommend both Mr H and Sonic Electronix.

I bought the stereo about six months ago. Overall, I really like it. It has had some problems a few times: the volume on the navigation has switched with the music audio (music volume is medium level and navigation is almost so quiet you cant hear it). A push of the reset button fixed it (this only happened twice). The navigation is a little more difficult to operate than a Garmin or Tom Tom, but it is very accurate. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

A great product. Customer loves it. Very easy to operate. Works as advertized. My installer had this in the car and fully operational in 40 minutes. I am going to put this in my own F-150 pick-up.
