Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my unit

I think this unit is awesome. Navigation is so spot on. I figured out how to set the time.... Change the time zone in the navigating setup... Everything else was easy to figure out... Can't wait to buy some more add ons.

THE BEST I LOVE IT

love the navi, user friendly and easy to use, I highly recommend this unit

Great Price

This item worked great in my truck I would recommend it to anyone a "got to have" piece for the AVN52D/AVN5510

Thanks,

Warren

good product cheap price

no doubt one of the better cd/dvd/navi on the market, been having it for about 6 months no problem, audio quality sound is off the charts, a steal at that price.

Parrot Eclipse CK3000 Evolution Review

The CK3000 exceeded my expectations. After installation it worked like a dream. The sound quality is good and I can operate the whole thing by voice command and never take my hands off the steering wheel.
Apparently the BT-500 was another part number for the CK3000 because it came with a Toyota wiring harness. I cut it off and attached it to my 2004 Saab 9-3. It wired right into my Electronic Head Unit so it automatically mutes the stereo and routes the sound through the front speakers. I can increase the volume with the controls built into the steering wheel. The control knob and buttons on the Parrot are so small they don't look gaudy on the dash and it blends in nicely.
I definitely would recommend this product.

it's ok

This product pop each time the phone and the bluetooth would pair up. can't use this if you have an amp for your highs and mids because the rca out lines don't work with the bluetooth. had to put converters on the speaker outputs so i could use my amp for highs and mids. people have a problem hearing me. possibly where the microphone was place at.

Works great!

Works great, especially with the new Oregon law for hands free. Can hear great, sound quality is good, only draw back would be no private conversation if others are in the truck but on the flipside all the occupants can talk to the person on the phone at once!

Base model doesnt work with amps.

This is a base model product, it doent work good for a professional system, it doesnt work with amps. (No automatic mute for the sound with incoming calls) spend the extra money and buy a higher end model, the parrot system is good. Other than that it works great as long as you are not hooking up amps to the system.

Texting beeps

When i first installed this I had an LG and when I texted the beeps would come through the speakers, after I switched to a blackberry it didn't do it anymore. Cracked the buttons off numerous times from leaning on them in the cab.

Best on the market..

This product is ridiculous, especially at this price. Other DVD/NAVI combinations are averaging 200 dollars more than this sale price, and they are not half the product. Intuitive display, touch screen responds great, sound is loud and clean, navigation is amazing. The only downside is I cant figure out how to change the time... I guess Ill actually read the instructions.

If you use this product in a Non-Toyota

I had a friend of mine purchase this product to use with his Eclipse deck, but he did not have a Toyota and did not want to cut the harness that comes with this unit. After trying to figure out a way around it, we ended up purchasing a generic wiring kit for his car, as well as the Metra 71-1761 wiring kit. In putting these two kits together, we essentially made an adapter to go from his car wiring harness to the factory Toyota harness, which this product plugged right into without a problem. No splicing, no mess. Clean install. And it worked out great.

I wanted to let everyone know about this option, as even the local installer guys wanted to tear apart the harness on the BT-E500 to attach it to a regular wiring kit. I think our solution is a much cleaner and neater solution, which leaves more options for the future...

Great Blue Tooth device

Great device. Great sound quality and ease of use. I like this better than the installed motorola blue tooth devices. It has been installed 6 months now.

Excellent product! No issues! Sonic had the best price online!

Good deal

I recommend this deck , however the ipod functions are slow. The unit will not charge the ipod either. Bluetooth can not be used with amp set up....

ADMIN NOTE: Actually, it will charge an iPod with the correct iPod adapter, the Scosche PasspPORT IFWA adapter

Awsome Deck

Once you get used to all the options you can find your way around the system fairly easy. The navigation brings you right to the door steps of where your going, while listening to the tunes. The back-up camera is not only clear but in color, how cool is that. With a little help, you can play a DVD while driving (I dont know if this is legal so dont tell antbody I told). The Ipod set up is the best, it gives you several options on the play list such as purchased, favorite, artist, albums, or make your own menu for quick reference. The woofer control has so many options that I am still looking for a sound. This deck is well worth the price, well worth it!

Friggen Sweet!!

I recently recommended this product to a friend after I researched a lot of different units on SonicElectronix.com, if you’re new to Sonic, I can say that the website is one of the best I have used when online shopping! I chose this unit because it offered nav, DVD playback, and in the future my friend could buy satellite radio and Bluetooth and iPod when he saves up. I just finished installing this in his Toyota and I was impressed. I expected it to be a so-so unit for the price seeing as all the other units are almost double what this one is. The navigation is fast an accurate, DVD’s look freaken awesome on the screen and it made his speakers sound twice as amazing! He had a stock radio before this.

The navigation is utilized via a DVD, so it has one CD slot and one DVD slot. If you need the Nav you can’t play a DVD. My friend and I went on a trip downtown, which is about an hour drive, and the nav worked awesome in getting us to our destination. On the way back I played a DVD, but shhhh don’t tell anyone because I had to bypass the unit so it would allow DVD playback while in motion. The DVD looked awesome, sounded awesome, and I felt like I was watching it at home. The interface is simple and easy to use with nice big icons that are easy to tap.

All in all I highly recommend this unit. For the price you just can’t beat it!! In fact, I plan to buy the combo that Sonic has so I can get the Bluetooth and iPod with it right off the bat for a good deal! Buy this unit!

Eclipse avn52D is a steal

Wow, the eclipse avn52D is a flawless unit! My friend has the Pioneer f700bt, and it does not come close to comparing with the eclipse. The pioneer is slow to start up and has a lot of bugs, even with the update. The eclipse on the other hand is quick, and the sound is amazing. The controls are very easy to use, and the nav is incredibly accurate. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone, especially for the price.

love it!!!

very good picture have had no problems with it what so ever........ love the navi, user friendly and easy to use with ipod.....

Great value

I love this radio, DVD's look great, Nav. is perfect. I have the ipod connection and it works great. You can't go wrong with this unit a lot of bang for your buck.

Too hard to install

This came free with the purchase of my Eclipse head unit. I attempted the install but the directions were not good and i gave up.

Simple and functional

This head unit does what it says, but nothing extra. With the exception of the Navigation being outdated and on a DVD, the unit performans excellent in all other situations, movies, radio, bluetooth, CD, MP3's, Input, and iPod. The only thing I can't figure out is how to set the clock! I also bought it because the green illumination matches my WRX.

It works

The product mounts well and looks good in the vehicle, a little on the low side for the volume of your caller. Exhaust plays a part in this role. If you have a new vehicle with little to no outside noise the volume would be perfect. This may be an install issue though. It is nice that you can hold a conversation from the outside of the car, the mic works that good.

GOOD LOOKIN!!!!!
