Has a wonderful clear sound. I use it with Sony xPlod speakers and my car is a club. The reception is wonderful with a SACA automatic aerial. And the design was just great with the interior of my car.

I looked very hard for a double din unit that could read from a wide range of media, provide great reception, stylish look, and functionality. This DPX502 does it all and I have been very satisfied with it. The MP3 navigation and playback is good. The reception is just as good or better than my old stereo. And a surprisingly useful feature I like is radio text. Some people have complained about the control layout and while it isn't the best...I haven't had a problem with it. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a double din that may not be the fanciest but delivers.

This is a very good stereo but is a little too complicated.A lot of features crammed into one small unit.Getting the unit out of demo mode took a while.If you are good with electronics this is for you!
