Good HU

This is better than one of the Head units I paid over twice as much for.
Everything works great and the menu is easy to use.
Not being able to navigate the folders on a USB drives is a miss and not being able to save settings is another.

Although, compared to a buddies JVC, it lacks the dynamic mode which is really nice for easy EQ tuning.

Works and sounds great

Definitely recommend.

Pros: three ways to manually control equalizer: easy, not as easy, and advanced...Take your pick! Bluetooth works well.

Cons: slightly dim display during the day, setup took longer than anticipated
