pretty good headunit for the price

I currently have this headunit in my truck and it pushes more power than the stock one did, but I am going to upgrade to the pioneer AVH-x2500 because I want a touchscreen. The only con with it is that sometimes when I go to adjust the volume if you turn it really hard it will do the opposite way which I guess would be the case with any other single din aftermarket headunit.

Improved Sound Quality for my System

I installed this in and took out a cheaper and older Kenwood headunit and there was a instant improvement in the sound quality of my system even before I put in a 4 channel amplifier. It looks nice and the pre voltage outputs are great. The ipod control from the head unit works fairly well but can be a pain sometimes when scrolling for a long time. The ease of use, mainly due to the alphabet scroll only working sometimes, is the main problem with this product.
