I bought this in dash DVD player six months ago, and its still working great. Its comparable to the Jensen line of in dash DVD players. The screen is probably one of the best parts of this unit. Its amazingly clear. Easy to install and use, lots of features and connectability. From what Ive seen, its also very durable. A few weeks ago someone attempted to steal it out of my car, they pried on the faceplate and it didnt break off. Overall, this was an awesome buy, and I may buy another for my other car.

The Dual XDVD8181 is one of the best decks I've owned. Easy install. Clear picture and good sound. Wish it had the blue tooth option and more fine tuning of sound, but still a great buy.

Customer Testimonial

My husband recently purchased a high-end marine stereo for our boat. We got a great deal! On-Trac left a note that they would attempt again the next day when we were home, the driver returned again the same day @ 5. That was very impressive. We thank all of Sonic Electronix and On-Trac shipping.
