Pretty good product, VERY good sound quality, amp can push 6.5" w/ components with tweeters very well. The controls are very confusing though, better keep the manual in the car. The rotary knob isnt the best idea, its easily pushed in while driving -which opens the sound controls- and all of a sudden youre turning up the bass instead of the volume... Other than that it doesnt skip on cd's and has a few rca outputs which are handy.
I like it.. Salectronics has them for $69 with free shipping also.

Over all it is a good radio. My antenna wire was cut when my other radio was stolen, so I am not sure if the staticy receprion is because of a poor splice or the actual radio (probably my splice). The aux jack is nice, but some of the buttons and functions are counter-intuitive. Overall it works great for the price.

I picked up and got this player installed at a local shop. The display is nice, though the clock/track time is small in comparison to what else is displayed. The sound quality from the stock deck is greatly improved, and adjusting sound controls is relatively smooth with preset options available. Some of the specialty controls are more tricky to decipher from the manual, even setting the clock (the install guy said it took him 10 minutes to figure it out)!

Apart from the little details, this is a quality product for the price. For the more technical hardcore car audio buffs, I would suggest a higher-end deck.
