Best store and online price!

The price I paid for the product could not be beat. Whether online or at a local store, sonic electronic had the best price. They also included a part that usually requires you to have to purchase separately. Lastly the communication was prompt and the item was shipped out immediately.

BIG Pioneer Unit

I bought this sound unit from EBAY. I installed it into my 2004 Monte Carlo SS. I didn't want to fix problems on the stock radio. I'm really GLAD I got this one. It is WAY BETTER than any stock radio. This isn't the most expensive radio like this, but it does everything it says & it looks & sounds great too. Installation was simple & all of the wiring harness's worked fine. If you get stuck on something, just give these guys a holler & they will make it right for you. I'm jammin' now.

Purchasing Pioneer FH-X520UI

This I ordered came to me on time. The item was not damaged. It works wonderful on my 06 Scion TC. I'm loving it so far. It changes color well, it gives very good clear sounds and the remote works great as well. I would recommended this item to anyone who is looking for a cool double din head stereo unit.
