Decent car stereo

This unit had all the functionality that I was looking for in a single-DIN car stereo at an affordable price: digital, bluetooth, USD. It sounds good and looks good.

Best bang for your Buck!!

I purchase this product for the Bluetooth capability. My first choice was Alpine but for the price. I just couldn’t pass up the deal. Both brands are similar in sound quality, mainly why I always went with Alpine. I purchased a clarion flip out screen deck in 2007 an remembered how clean and clear it sounded. So for the PRICE... I was sold

Second to none

This head unit should be today's benchmark. Built in microphone makes Bluetooth so much better. Simplistic tuning is awesome. It's all you need. Ran 8 volt eclipse forever. But these 4 volt preouts deliver the goods to my RE audio 5 channel digital amp. The combo is awesome. With image dynamics speakers and a mild JL boxed subwoofer all in under 1k, I challenge anyone to the clarity of my system at any level.
