Customer Reviews

OK, I have not seen many reviews on this stereo at all, so I figured I should go ahead and make one to help some people out.
First, the stereo comes with a remote, simple installation kit, iPod dock clips to properly fit your generation of iPod/iPhone, and proper wiring to be soldered to existing wiring to be able to use its unique plug. I soldered the wiring with no difficulty, and everything worked perfectly with that. The installation kit was a bit simple, and i went with a different approach because I believe a housing box is required for the stereo to properly be installed with the kit. The front of the kit was a bit too big for my car, but that is not mostly because my car is a 1993 corolla and was most likely never meant for the more modern systems. The kit fit in regardless, and though the front had to be behind the cars panel, everything still functioned (other than the iPod dock clip) and looked great.
The system itself is a very good and well designed system, and so far i have had no issues with it, save a few small things such as: on occasion the remote doesn't work too well, but i basically never use it, so that doesn't matter, the iPod automatically goes into sleep mode (iPhone 4, the music keeps playing, the screen just turns off) and i have to wake it up to change songs, and the light on it is a bit strong, and doesn't light up the answer phone and end call signs.
The features on this stereo are great for its price. The iPod dock is wonderful, and I listen to it whenever i can. The Bluetooth connection is great as well, though the other person may hear you a bit quieter than they usually would, it also plays music through Bluetooth as well (tested with iPhone 4). The USB and SD card slots I Have not yet tested, but unless I post an edit, assume they are functioning, and functioning well. The sound from this stereo is great, my stock speakers have no trouble until i put it to maximum strength, then they begin to hiss a bit. This stereo charges the iPhone 4, so it will work with modern apple products, however it does display a warning saying it is not optimized, but after exiting out of the warning, no issues arose.
After owning this system for a few days, I believe it is a great system, with just a few small issues, and as of now I am very satisfied with my purchase and recommend this stereo to anyone looking for a cheaper but working stereo with more modern methods to listen to music.

For the price, I expected terrible and I got pretty damn good.
Huge Advantages:
Full A2DP (Control your phone calls and music from the radio, visa/versa)
USB / SD card / Audio In
Disadvantages:
No audio out (Would be helpful for amplifiers, though unnecessary in my case).
Manual is terrible, there is no electronic manual on their website.
Brightness controls. There had to be one BIG downer. The thing is blinding in the dark, it may actually have brightness controls but without a good manual to tell me how to edit it I didn't immediately figure it out.
This radio is genius. The price is unbeatable. I soldered a hardness for my car and had it installed an hour after the package arrived.
