Hated the Interface

Alot of great features, but the interface to get things done is rediculous. Sold my vehicle though and will not buy this again. You need a masters degree to operate it.

Lots of features, non intuitive interface

Pros:
*. This thing has tons of features.
*. Sound output is good.
*. Bluetooth is pretty cool. Some people say it sounds like I\'m really far away (but they can still hear me). My head unit is down on the dash. (not in line with my mouth), take this into consideration.
*. Thumb drives work great.
*. Remote is pretty cool and works well. (Has to be aimed at receiver though, can\'t be used below dash for example).

Cons:
*. Lots of options that should have been set by the factory had to be configured by reading and re-reading the manual.
*. Scrolling through your preset radio stations is difficult. (maybe the steering wheel controller interface solves this issue). Setting them is also extremely difficult.
*. Chose between having a clock displayed or mp3 tag information. (You lose your clock!).
*. I tried using a micro sd with a small usb adapter and this did not seem to work in unit for some reason.


Overall, decent unit
