I bought this car stereo for my daughter's first car, and I think she may like it more than the car. I know I got a great price, but my daughter got the kind of sound she was wanting. But not only the sound, she is crazy about the appearance. All of her friends ask where did she get it!!! She just keeps on telling me how much she enjoys having a good sound system, and how convenient it is to be able to connect her phone and listen to her play list.
This was pretty easy to install even for a complete novice like me. The interface isn't exactly intuitive --- it's not obvious how to turn it on, for instance --- but it can be learned, and I love that I can plug my iPod in and listen to it through the car system.
This product is great! It still works like new. Easy, clean install. Easy to use with lots of options! Made my stock speakers sound amazing!! Thanks!!
