 I'm happy with it, overall July 19, 2010
Ziggy Q. Bozo (Philadelphia, PA USA)
First, the minor annoyances: If you want the first radio channel preset, press the second button. The first button is not a radio preset. I've gotten used to the fact that the station which is the third button on all of my other radios is the fourth button in my car. Also, I'd prefer if the volume dial stood out further so it was easier to turn with my big fingers. These things are minor annoyances, but still annoying after several months.
Second, the major annoyance: when playing from an SD card, it skips. Generally only when driving fast but on a long highway drive it can be really annoying.
Other than that I'm very happy with it. I installed it myself without too much trouble, and the controls are easy to use, in general. I love putting a ton of music onto an SD card, and I love the blue-tooth phone interface. I have separate folders on the SD card for different types of music, and it's easy to skip to the next folder for a different type of music.
Good choice for rcvr w/ bluetooth and sd July 7, 2010
Bruce Hill
I've had this receiver for 6 months, and am generally pleased.
Pluses:
* Bluetooth is great, good sound quality, easy to use (except for dial out)
* Love having access to USB, SD, aux, iPod, and mp3 CD's
* Remembers track and position on poweroff - essential for audio cd's
Minuses:
* It stopped playing cd's in the first hour of operation. Factory repaired it free, but 3 week turnaround
* Slow startup for digital media, as it takes 10-20 seconds to read the entire file system before beginning playback.
* Navigation for large mp3 media is awkward - all you can do is forward and back through the directories in the order they're written on the media, so if you're on an artist, you have to go thru all their albums before going to the next artist.
* Random and Repeat modes are mutually exclusive, and display shows stuff like "Random 019" instead of song title when in random or repeat mode. (Front panel button momentarily shows title)
* Bluetooth dialing is awkward. Don't even think about dialing from rcvr while driving, although you can originate calls from your bluetooth cell phone speed dial.
* Limited playback options - No genre play, or playlists, just select a directory and it'll play everything under that directory.
Overall, a good product. Just wish navigation and screen display had been done better.
Watch out for similar products that don't remember track and position. This is the best
I found after extensive searching for bluetooth, mp3 cd, and sd capability.

Absolutely incredible product both in quality and performance . The only reason I can fathom the manufacturer discontinuing this product is that it offers too much in performance and features for the price . All features perform at or above expected levels and installation is a snap once acquiring the proper manufactuers harness adpater . The only drawback to this product is the lack of ability to dim the BRIGHT blue display at night , this can be very distracting .
Not Bad At All June 11, 2010

I bought this receiver because I wanted to use my Ipod,satellite radio(using aux input)and my Droid phone with a built in car stereo and was on a budget.
The stereo arrived and I was a little skeptical of the build quality at first,but when installed,everything worked as advertised.
Bluetooth for hands free calling works perfect.
I use the aux input for my Ipod because I would rather control the Ipod itself than through the receiver using the supplied Ipod cable because the controls on the receiver are rather difficult
to use and not as intuitive as the Ipod interface.
It take a little getting used to all the settings and controls at first but it get easier the more you use it.
The blue back light is very bright at night.Almost too bright.But not a deal breaker.
Just using the bluetooth with the phone alone makes it worth the money.
Too bad the model is discontinued.I may order another one before there all gone.
Sound is very good compared to the factory radio that was in my car.
Best bang for the buck.
Buy it.
great bang for buck June 4, 2010
Chris Okelly (pinellas park, fl United States)
it works as advertised, plays from usb,sd, ipod etc. I use a 4gb sd, works great but very slow everytime the stereo is turned on to read the card. bluetooth works amazingly well, I was pleasantly surprised. the button layout is taking time to get used to, not very intuitive. my biggest gripes are that the LCD backlight is blindingly bright with no appearant way to dim and the power antenna activates in all media modes (CD, SD, etc)
however, to get bluetooth and SD capability in another stereo I could not find anything under $300 on the net
