Exceptional

I love all the functions of the radio and the design I really bought it for the sound quality of the radio and the pre amp output I bought any older model excelon before for a system I was building and never looked back but again. All the functions and design is a plus

Great unit!

Pros
5v preouts, Great eq, overall feel and speed of unit is great.

Cons
The display off (blackout) feature could be better. It does shut off but backlight stays on so not 100% off. As someone who drives a lot at night this could be better.
No other cons in my opinion

Very Nice Head Unit

This unit offers a lot of control over your sound settings. The user interface is very intuitive, you don't need a degree to change the settings. The only thing I wish it had is a volume knob. I didn't realize how convenient a knob is until I went to a unit without one. I may buy the remote just for the purpose of easier volume control.

Awesome HU, sounds and functions great

2013 Subaru BRZ
- Incredible sound compared to stock.
- I'm running about 50RMS/ch to aftermarket 6" coaxials in the doors and ~400RMS to a 10" sub.
- The HU powers the dash and rear speakers.

Sound: It bumps so clean and hard even at very loud volume, with very little tuning needed.
Function: Everything works great. I was surprised no multi-touch, so you can't pinch zoom on maps, but no big deal.

Very impressed. The HD radio is well worth it if you plan to listen to any radio at all. I'm glad I got the 709S vs the 7709s.

Super Upgrade

Many options in this unit. I have a 5 channel and it love the 5 volt outputs. Built in crossovers, Many different backgrounds to choose from, and just a clean looking unit overall. Hooked up my phone through usb cable and nav and Pandora loaded right on the screen with no extra effort. This is a head unit to consider if you are in the market for one.
