I have had this deck in my Dodge Ram pickup for several years now. I have never had any problems with it. Sound is excellent and much cleaner than the stock stereo. Works great with a USB Thumb Drive plugged into the front for long trips. I love this deck and you can't beat the price.

This is one of the nicer in-dash receivers that I've seen. It has a multi-color display and easy access to plug in either a flash drive or an iPod (USB connection). Some of the features require a bit of scrolling and navigating to reach and there is no play or stop button if you listen to CDs or USB music. It is expensive at retail prices, but at the Sonic Electronix price it is an excellent buy.

My dad bought me this deck like 5 months ago and I never had ONE problem with it...it was amazing...until someone broke into my car and stole it! (thats how great it was) Definitely a good buy, I'd buy it again if it wasn't for the fact that the BossBV7990T caught my eye first...I'll definitely be reviewing that one next. Overall, great buy for anyone, great price too considering I got mine for over $300. Definite good buy!

Seriously the best deck I've ever seen for the price. The usb port is the so useful. I have a 1-gig thumb drive that i use and its so much easier and faster than making new cds every time i wanna listen to new music. It has a sub out rca jack which is really useful too. Really a great deck for a great price.
