Works Great!

However, the guaranteed to fit was wrong. I now just have it laying in my dash of my 2013 chevy 2500 Express Van. The antena cable connection did not work with mine, The wiring harness I ordered extra was a perfect match. However, The contious memory power and Ignition power took a bit to figure out. Good thing I know how to use a meter. Other than installation issues, it is awesome and I will order another one when needed.

Excellent Radio

Bought a Power Acoustik PCD-42B Radio so i could use my XM radio in my truck, works great excellent sound, had a small problem with install but it had noting to do with the radio, i did not know my Ford F150 Radio went from a double to a single deck so had to cut some plastic out so it fit perfectly.

great for a couple months.

i bought this to replace the broken stock radio in my moms ford explorer. It seemed to have the most features for the buck. For the first 2 months it worked great and she was very happy. now the display only works on one line and radio reception has declined. i will be contacting power acoustik to have them fix or replace it and will be purchasing a different one from a more trusted brand.

Power Acoustik PCD-42B

I purchased this radio for my 04 GMC Truck. I wanted it for the Bluetooth and memory stick for personal music. Well the Bluetooth stopped working after 3 months and the memory stick works when it wants to. The lights just went out this week so I don't know what mode it is using or what station I am listening to. I am very disappointed with this purchase. At least it still plays the radio but for that I could have kept the original stereo which I am probably going to reinstall.

Nice unit unless you play cd's

Had unit installed all functions work except will not eject cd. It would eject the 1st placed in slot.It sounds good in all modes, but cd not ejecting is disappointing. I plan on using bluetooth and aux in.
