Got this cause CDs for me are getting old. Just carry your SD card aroung and change the music as you feel like. The bluetooth far exceeded my expectations. Totally great quality. Easy to use and great features. Only improvements i look forward to are more RCA outputs (at least 2) including sub preamp out and EQ control for the mids. Totally great buy. Bye bye CDs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Many Flaws, November 10, 2009

I have had this deck for almost 2 years now. I read the reviews before I purchased...most of them were critical of this unit. I ended up buying it anyways because of the blue-tooth functionality. Boy was that a mistake. Here are my reasons:

1. No AM tuner.
2. FM Tuner gets TERRIBLE reception.
3. Bluetooth works ok, but with the two phones I have used with it (Motorola and Samsung) if I don't press the answer button within 2 rings the unit displays "ERROR" and locks up.
I will say once the call is connected the sound quality is excellent. Also be careful where you mount the microphone as is easily picks up road noise.
4. The SD card MUST be formatted in the outdated FAT16 format. Why? I have no clue.

This unit would have been great if the engineers would have spent a little more time on this one.

I've had this deck in my Jeep since 12/2008 and i'm very happy with it. I use the included external mic for Bluetooth communication and it works great. I can only think of 3 possible improvements: add a.m. radio reception; have the sd card slot light up (night time card swaps can be tricky); add a dedicated subwoofer out. I ended up installing a low cost equalizer that had front and subwoofer pre amp outputs, and that did the job of separating the frequencies correctly.
