Good headunit.

I just bought this headunit and installed it last night in a 99 cavalier. still figuring it all out but i like it. Has everything i need for a system. Wish it had the usb on the front instead of the cable running from the back but other than that its awesome for the price!

I can't really review durability since i just bought it but i have another sony in my mustang and after about a year and half the next button on the headunit sticks so i have to use the remote to change songs. But i also change songs every 1 minute so probably my fault lol.

Good headunit

I bought this headunit and installed it int my 99 cavalier for my dd while the mustang is put away for the winter. For the price its a great headunit. Has 3 5volt preamp out puts for fronts rears and subwoofer. Has Loads of settings like hpf, lpf subwoofer level control and many more. Usb cord out the back is different but it works well in my car. Have haad it for bought a month no issues at all. I recommend using the remote if you change songs every 30's like i do. I have a different sony headunit in my mustang and after about a year or two the next button sticks when its warm out. But if your looking for a headunit for a budget system in your car look no further, this has everything you need! Also plenty of display colors to choose from
