enjoyed the stero

This item was bought as a Christmas present. My son enjoys it very much. The services center, shipping and item were all great. My only complaint was I did not receive the products accessories until already installed in the vehicle and had to pay extra for installment. This was partially my error due to make of car and the company as they did not respond to e-mails
