I thought I was getting a great deal for an MP3/CD player for my car. I didn't want anything expensive, but I wanted something that would last. This was not the deck to get.

I've had it for less than three months. The player 'skips' on a brand new disc while sitting still (no bumps from driving). If the disc has the smallest scratch on it, the cd will skip (this doesn't matter if it is MP3 or CD). Also, the LCD has already gone out. There is no backlighting at all, so you can't read anything on the LCD.

I'm extremely disappointed in this product and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I received this product as a gift and have had nothing but problems with it. After only 2 weeks of use, it is already completely "dead".

First of all, it doesn't really fit in my car, as the company claims it will. We managed to get it installed and it worked great...for about 3 days. It occassionally locked up while playing a CD. I mean REALLY locked up - to the point where it had to be turned off and back on again. Then it mysteriously erased all my preset radio stations for no apparent reason (other online reviews mention this also). Now the entire screen is blank and NONE of the buttons work! Therefore, the radio doesn't work either. Needless to say, I'm sending it back.

This Cd player is 110% (and that aint even possible) no good. I got mine from Rex last year. It never plays your mp3s the first time, It'll just keep reading or display an error message. After about 2 weeks it started smoking on me and I took it back on my 2 year warrenty. They gave me another one and not even half a year later the same problems and now it wont even take my cds. It just keeps spitting them back out. Just plain and simply STAY AWAY!!

if you play only cd's then this player will work well for you. If you play cd's with mp3's it will very often, about every 5 hours of use for me, lock up, stop playing, or display one of several error messages. At which point you will need to reset the player, losing all your presets.
