Clarion CX201

great radio!!!!

This radio is amazing and very clear. I bought this to replace my factory unit and its sounds 10 times better! I love all the features and it works perfectly!!!

Pretty good

This stereo is definitely better than a factory radio because you have more control over the sound. However if you do not know anything about setting the EQ, you should read up on it. It does have preset EQ's which you can also use. In my truck with aftermarket speakers, metal music doesn't sound as good as it was wit my stock stereo even with the EQ properly adjusted to metal. If you're all about BASS then definitely get this because you can make your subs bump harder then you can imagine, be careful cuz you will definitely blow them with this up if your amp isn't set properly.

Not a bad head unit

Overall I thought this sounded pretty good on my aftermarket 6x8's. It has decent functionality but is a little tough to learn the controls. If it says it will fit a ford f series but does not without modification. If I were to say this is better than the jvc or kenwood I would probably say yes. I am crucial on the bad points but it has lots of nice features.

Simple design, works well

I was looking for something simple to go into my wifes Oldsmobile and this fit the bill nicely. Its been in the car for about 6 months now and all is well. One problem with it that I noticed is that the Samsung Galaxy wont play through the USB port. Although it doesnt claim too either, I just assumed it would (my bad). I had to get an adapter to get it to work. The apple stuff all works good though.

Good Radio

This radio was easy to install. It worked as advertised. The controls are easy and relatively intuitive. I love the aux input. You just plug in a thumb drive with your favorite songs and go. Easy. The drawback of this radio is that the display is very difficult to see in the day time when it is sunny. Overall a good product for the money.

Clarion cx201 The best economic option for double DIN replacement

I bought this to replace my in dash 6 disc changer of my 04 Forester. I don't need DVD, GPS nav or even bluetooth. I did however want simple styling, power and a few preamp RCA outs for a future amp. USB on the front panel is awesome. Aux plug also a plus. I remember when you paid premium for an aux on the front panel.

What really sold me on this radio was the ability to plug a sirius tuner withOUT the need for a costly adapter plug. That folks is worth the price of admission here.

After letting the wife drive my car in rush hour traffic for a week. I was purchasing another radio for her 2005 Outback. That installation included removing the whole radio/climate control fascia and replacing. But all went smoothly and I have to say we are still very happy with the performance, capabilities and the sound quality of this radio.

trouble

I bought this stereo and love the looks but cant get it to play loud. My factory one was way louder. I'm still figuring out what might be the issue. I drive an 07 jeep wrangler.

nice

A very fancy radio for the price. Has all the things i wanted i really like it!

Great for this price range

Excellent head unit for this price range. Smooth setup and operation. Leagues better than the Sony Xplod I had before this one.

I'd buy it agin in a heartbeat!

pros: looks, output, features, quality, value. no cons in my opinion. be sure to get the harness kit!
