I was very skeptical about this when I first bought it, but it is actually built very well.
It has RCA jacks at the rear so that it can be used with a amplifier as well.
The radio is manual tune only but I don’t change channels all that often anyway.
It reads from SD media, USB drives and also has a plug in for your iPod.
There is no moving parts to wear out which is exactly what I was looking for.
I would recommend for use in boats, off road vehicles, motorcycles, heavy equipment, etc.
I would have expected to pay a whole lot more for something of this quality so I am very happy with it and I will definitely buy another.

Installed this unit and the first thing noticed was the noise when engine was running. The previous deck didn’t have any noise. Could be spark plugs or wires but suspect due to very cheap construction this unit is sensitive to noise on the 12vdc. Installed a large cap across the 12v and this helped a little, may have to get better noise filter.
If you remove media the unit doesn’t seem to remember which track was playing, so it starts over at the beginning of the usb drive or sd card – frustrating.
The radio tuner is odd, it’s like old fashioned manual tuning, works but seems almost like it would have been easier just to make it like every other deck on the market, unless it’s supposed to be nostalgic.
So yeah it works but not without several flaws, I’d not do it again – I’d put the $40 sum bucks toward a better unit.

I bought this car mp3 sd receiver in the summer,
First thing the power button didn’t work
after get the power button fixed, when you turn on the stereo
its play ok, but when driving only thing you can hear is whistling,humming and barely hear the radio or the mp3 playing.
I don’t like this stereo at all.

Very noisy. (Like a grounding problem x 100…I checked all wiring…I’ve installed several car stereos over the years.)
Lots of functions on on the LCD were “there” but wouldn’t light up/couldn’t be selected.
Very weak construction…but expected for the price.
Considering the price, I’m not going to bother to return it…I’d just lose more money in time+shipping…but considering I’m out the money…it’ll just have to be a reminder of “you get what you pay for”. I didn’t buy it because it was the cheapest stereo on the planet, I bought it simply because I didn’t want to pay for a CD player which I’ll never use. (I don’t like carrying 100’s of CD’s around when they’re all on my Zen player.)
It was a nice concept….no moving parts, decent power rating, AUX-in, USB, and even an SD card reader! Too bad. I guess I’ll just have to buy a CD deck with an AUX in. Don’t waste your money on this piece of junk.
