I put this unit in a older Miata. The supplied intallation sleeve and trim made the intallation a snap. The features I like the most is the intuitive menu, the parmetric equalizer, the operation of the USB/MP3 interface and the powerful built-in amp. The buttons are nice and big and well laid out and the volume knob is big and substantial. It has a nice clean look and doesn’t look out of place or cheezy like some units.
This is an excellent head unit with all the right basic features.

Looks great in Scion TC. Being able to change the colors to match cockpit lights is great, and makes the unit look stock. Works flawlessly with ipod/iphone, and surprisingly well with bluetooth devices (I bought the additional adapter, you can find it for around $100 on the web). I was able to pair my Fiancees Android phone and stream music via bluetooth no problem, as well as make and receive calls without skipping a beat.
The sound quality of the unit is great! It definitely delivers more power to the speakers than the stock unit I had, the music transmits crisp and floats correctly between the tweeters, mids, and base. Sounds like I bought a whole new system for my car. The controls are fairly easy.
The only reason this didn’t get 5 stars is lack of support for formats other than MP3/WMV in USB-flash mode (itunes likes to use AAC), and awkward navigation in head unit mode with ipods. This is due to how the stereo shows you numbers instead of names as you scroll through your library, which makes it difficult to know where you are. Not a big deal, the stereo gives you the option to navigate with the ipod which is how I prefer to do it anyway, but if you want to plug in your ipod and throw it into the glovebox and forget about it, this might not be the unit for you.
Overall this stereo exceeded my expectations in almost every way, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a nice looking, nice sounding car stereo that will enable you to use almost any modern handheld.

For the buck this radio is it… If you’re looking for a simple but powerful double din radio this is it…
