Awesome radio
Date of Review: Feb 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Can't be beat at this price.
After fighting for two weeks to get the right wire harness for my car, I finally got this thing installed. I have a suzuki, so the part I needed was non-standard.
I agree with everything manolache said in his review about the MP3 functionality. However, I picked this radio up at Target for $79. I have not seen a single other system that has all the functions of this unit, much less for this price. There are some good Sony units that take SD, but not USB. And they cost $50 more, at a minimum. Also, this unit has RDS. I did not even know what that was til I got this thing. (I'm behind the times on the car stereo stuff). RDS displays on the LCD what station you are tuned to, as well as what artist and song is currently playing. All this assumes the radio station is actually transmitting that info, but pretty cool when it works. Also this radio will cut out what you are listening to if you set it to alert you to weather warnings and traffic advisories. Again, it depends on your local radio stations capabilities. Anyway, besides the shortcomings with navigating MP3's, I think it's a great deal for less than $80. Especially if you're replacing an older unit.
