Great upgrade to your radio but I live in the sticks so it doesn't allow me to use all the features.

I bought this HD tuner as a combo deal with a Clarion head unit. Both work great together. Power, clarity, and at a great price. Can't beat it.

Installation was easy and all the features work well. The only thing bad about this unit is the screen flicker from time to time for about 12 to 14 seconds.

Picks up stations well, but occasionally the sound will decrease and increase while driving. I don't know if it's an issue with the tuner or the VZ309 stereo itself.

The digital signal is very weak, and I always have to switch over to analog. I live in Miami and I dont know if its the area or the HD tuner.

While several people have complained about some of the quirks of this product, I find that they are very manageable. I would also be displeased if I paid retail, but at $129, if people are complaining about it, they simply need to realize that if you want a perfect product you will probably end up paying for it. For $129 with the HD unit, I am willing to put up with a few quirks. I haven't experienced the looping issue that some people have complained about, but sometimes it doesn't automatically turn on when I put the faceplate on, a small issue. My largest concern is about the faceplate attachment, it isn't very easy to attach and I am worried that the clasp may eventually break. Again, it is only $129, I will take my chances. There is no way to change albums with any buttons on the unit, but you can with the top d-pad on the remote. All-in-all, I am very pleased with the unit and would recommend it to anyone. I think you will have a very hard time finding a unit that is more packed with features for a price this low.
