Most Helpful First | Newest First | + ShareCapable, and a good deal, but not perfect.
(4 out of 5) by Otmar Ebenhoech on Mar 17, 2008 (Corvallis, OR USA)For the price this is a very capable deck.
I bought it for the basic CD player with IR remote control, Line level out front and rear, A real knob for volume and iPod control. I was warned that the iPod control would not allow playlist selection but I found that as it says on the box, it does work well selecting playlists. (I'm using a older iPod nano) As with many low cost head units, this has basic functions without all the annoying "features" of more expensive units. It remains to be seen if the CD player will hold up to off road use. My previous $300 Sony and Alpine head units had terribly unreliable CD sections.
Pros: Good simple operation, not too many buttons, controls the iPod well even from the wireless remote (with additional $30 cable). Low cost.
Cons: Pops when changing input sources and sometimes when changing iPod song selections. This popping may only be on the line level outputs, I have not tested the speaker outputs. Removable faceplate (On a deck this inexpensive, I'd rather it was fixed).
Overall, this is a great deal.
