Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good.

For the current price this is a good deck, touch screen is lacking but it is an older deck just don't buy it for the touchscreen or you will be disappointed. GPS works fantastic though and I would recommend it for just that alone. I have had this deck in for almost 6 months now and I haven't had any problems. I love how simple it looks while screen is down so it doesn't attract attention but when it flips up you definitely impress someone haha. Durability seems ok if you aren't rough on it. Bottom line I would recommend this to a friend for the price and gps. Touchscreen is crap and it is almost impossible to navigate through its setting and different screens but works good for me and what I do.

OK If Everything Worked!

Great value for the money if all features worked properly. For my unit, the Nav screen goes blank after about an hour of use in the vehicle, and it often loses screen and display settings memory from one start to the next. It is currently back to Dual for repair, and although 98% of the features including Bluetooth work great, these problems are a pain in the neck. I can only hope the unit performs perfectly when returned to me.

Like

I've owned this for about a month and I set everything up CORRECTLY and was very pleased with its performance.

defected

i received this product had it installed in my vehicle the radio worked, and the navi worked thats it nonthing else worked.

the value is not bad

I love this product but the only fault i found is that the touch screen reaction is really slow but other wise its not a bad buy if your not impatient. If you want fast reaction use the remote that comes with it. It works right away.

Not so good.

I would not recommend this player. The radio works ok, the cd player works ok, but the navigation - not so much. I used it once, and then the next time the screen displayed "Unable to locate nav file". Tried updating nav files. The sales process was good and good price, just poor quality product.

Stay away

Nothing but trouble. It was a good price, but broke after 8 months. I had to remove and send it back for a refund and since I had lost the remote I lost a few bucks. I instead went with a quality head unit from a name I could trust (not dual).

GREAT DEAL

I am happy with my product. Just what i wanted with no problems.

Older GPS Maps and Updating

Okay product, but GPS didn't work out of the box. Required CD/SD card update on Windows XP only system. Unless you have a PC running XP and don't mind older map data, then this could work for you.

BAD DEAL

This dual radio navigation radio system is out dated you can not update without having a lot of trouble with the dvd softwear disk. All infomation is deleted from the SD memory card and it will not work. The Bluetooth does not work there is loud feedback and loud echo from it. the video screen will not come up when you first start the car there is black edges and it goes at a twist you can't see the screen and it is very dark. Not worth the trouble. I guess i will install it in a farm truck so the cows can watch it.

Liked it...but

I got the unit, got it installed, everything worked. I read some of the other reviews along the way about mic not working well, and other past issues and none of those were the case in my purchase. It functions with my wife's iPhone 4s, and the bluetooth works for both her phone and mine, so I was happy with that.

However, I got the unit with a map disc that is atleast 5 years out of date. I found this out after my wife and I got into the car after installation and I tried to find the POI for the restaurant I work at about 10 minutes away. I found locations more than 20 miles away but not the one i work at.

Dual Excellence....

The after market unit that I purchased has served me well, so much so that I immediately purchased one for my wifes car once I saw how well the unit performed. The value can't be mached by other brands. I highly recommed the product. Good job Sonics!!!

Excellent Value for the Money

Installed this unit a week ago and everything worked as advertised. I am especially fond of the I Pod interface which displays my music files and titles clearly on the screen. I had enough time to properly scour the owner's manual and so i spent some time getting everything properly configured. I wired the back up camera but did not connect it as yet. The DVD works fine and i made sure the unit has proper ventilation so i have not seen any quirks while watching a movie as yet. I read some reviews criticizing the current Nav version but i don't see the problem...the system uses tele atlas and so far it finds all the back streets even when i divert from the choosen route on purpose. The guide voice is a very pleasant female but i discovered another two voices that i could also use. If you close the display screen, you get excellent turn by turn directions as well. So far I am very happy with the unit.
I took my time to insulate all the loose wires (this unit has plenty for rear options) and i double checked all the connections before finally seating the unit. The remote is flawless and very easy to use. I thought the graphics were cheap looking when i first hook it up but i have been checking on more expensive units and i am happy with the DUAL.
