Very nice stereo. Very, Very Clear, i just got it the other day and am still tuning it, but when i find a good setting it gets very loud and is very nice looking in the dash of my car. I got the iPod wire for it and it is very nice. doesn't take long to find the song you are looking for, while driving down the highway at 60. Alpine makes the best stereo. This cheaper Alpine is better than most of the stereos expensive stereos out there.

Customer Testimonial

I ordered the Sony DSX-S200X for the reasons that, the DSX-S100 was too plain and lacked features, and the DSX-S300BTX was too expensive so i chose the middle one. Now that you cant get it in is there any way that I can get the DSX-S300BTX for a discounted price?
Thanks, Sonny.
