Nice Head Unit

This is a good head unit. Looks good. The usb in the front makes it even better if you have a mp3 player. Over all its a good deal for a wonderful piece of equipment.

This is the perfect HU to stop you from going oveerboard

I comparison shop... a lot. I found that there was no better combination of features and functions out there unless you took a major step up in price.

one complaint, the remote has to be pointed dead on at the HU to work.

Love the Features

I love this unit. I took my time and compared tons of different USB equipped units. I don't like overly distracting displays and this one is perfect. Plus it has the higher volt pre-outs that are controllable from the face. This has been my absolute favorite head unit of all time. I carry a couple 4gb USB flash drives with music and can jam for days on end. Add in Sonic has the best price and this is a can't miss deal.
