Great Deck! Great sound!

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-158U).

Although the shipment took a little longer to arrive than expected, the deck was very easily installed, thanks to the free accompanied installation kit! You at Sonic was very smart in including the kit, because not only it saved me time to shop for it when the deck arrived, and it helped me make the decision in making this purchase from your company rather than some local stores.
The deck has great sound, it is highly recommended! Awesome!

Great product and value

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-158U).

I'd recommend this head unit. It has great features, including fantastic sub control, with adjustable low pass filter and bass level control.

good features, good looks, easy to use. GREAT VALUE

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-252U).

I have owned one of these for about 3 months. its a very nice radio, has options for sub woofer level, bass, mid, treble, and a lot of things in between. its a great product and the red matches really well with the stock gages on my 2000 grand prix. only problem i have had is that the ipod won't play thru the USB port for some reason. it will just say 'reading' and get to the song but won't play. I have tried hitting the play button on both the ipod and the dash but to no avail. I'm not sure if its the ipod or the radio.

also very easy to use, and as i said earlier it looks great. plenty of features. read the owners manual to find them all

a great product, gonna buy one for my friend on her birthday here soon
