Perfect HU for iPod and iPhone enthusiasts

I'm almost torn on whether to recommend this or not. I bought it specifically because I use my iPod around the clock and was tired of the cheap FM transmitter I've been using. After I installed it, I found out just how low the speaker outputs really are. It would cut out a lot when you tried to turn it up to even hear it over regular road noise on the highway. I've had this HU for nearly a year now and have had no problems other than that until recently, when I'm driving, sometimes the iPod will pause itself, which I'm thinking is just a loose connection on the dock possibly from hitting a bump. If you love your iPod, this is a great HU but be sure to get a 4 channel amp for your speakers along with it.

Killer Deal for what you get.

This is the only deck I've found that you can just plug and play the iPhone. I was curious about whether or not it would work with the 3gs, and iPhone 4, but can confirm it works with the ios4. There is a bit of radio "fuzz" that comes through from time to time, but seriously, you're listening to your ipod or Pandora, just turn it up more. Works great with maps and other apps as well. And for $100? Stop looking, just get it. Further more, it might just qualify for the free install kit. Best deck you'll buy for your iPhone. Not for CDs, Tapes. I did not have it setup with a sub.

Just the ticket for anyone who has a convertable

Looked at the reviews and was skeptical about a purchase. Thought about it and ignored the bad reviews and made the purchase. Well worth the price and then some. Not into the "ear bleeding" loud, sound quality is great. No worries about someone swiping the face piece. User friendly. Go ahead you won't be sorry.

Surprised!

I put this in my convertible and am very happy with it. I didn't want something expensive that someone would want to steal.
I am blown away with it so far. I can turn it up halfway and hear the music while on the highway.

Great Radio

I love this head unit! The sound quality is great and I love not having to deal with cords cluttering up my car, eg. charging, aux in. My only complaint is that the display is not too bright. It can be hard to see at certain angles during the daytime. Overall it's a great radio.

cheap price cheap unit looks great

This dual XML8100 unit has tiny sound quality. which i tired to live with because of the great ipod feature. until i could not turn volume down with ipod docked. it started cutting off sound radio or ipod intermittently then altogether. face still lights up, can change stations but no sound.
