Shipping was excellent, it arrived early and there were no problems. I installed the unit on a motorcycle and use the romote on the handle bars. Everything works great. I would like to have fade and balance control on the remote also the CD player is a little more sensitive than I would have thought for marine use but works well enough. Overall I give the experince high marks from start to finish. I will use Amazon again.

Great radio with features for mid-range power and sail boats. I have one in my Bayliner 2452 and one in my Catalina 36. Radio in the cabin and remote at the helm station. We use all functions and really like the mute so we can hear and use the VHF radio. The connection for mp3 is sure handy and we hook up the DVD to it for the BIG sound effect. Wired remotes rock because they light up at night and you can always find them!

Bought it for it has weather band and cd function for my application it was a good fit. The unit came in perfect condition, no complaint with that, but the install of the remote came with a poor connector on the extension cable which without made the remote useless. Neverless the radio works,weather band for me was a need, and the cd is nice but it skips really easy and doesn't use rewriten cd which is about 90% of my cd's that only details in the instuctions in the troubleshooting section, oh well it was still cheap.

Great stereo. I bought it for my motorcycle and it works great! Doesn't come with an antenna but I got one at the local stereo shop.

Radio sounds great, Works great when it works. About 4 months after purcashe while listening to radio it would suddenly stop the sound and the screen would read play cd. There is no cd in the unit so it would then switch back to radio. It would do this 5 or 6 times for 5-30 seconds and then go back to normal for an hour then it would do it again. I contacted pyle whose response was we will getback to you on how to get a replacement. They never got back to me. Even after many emails and calls where I am told that a manager is not avaiable but will return my call. Now it cycles betwwen radio - play cd every 2-3 minutes I cant listen to 1 whole song on the radio. Wish I would have given up the extra 30$ and bought a real brand radio.

I bought it thinking a Marine stereo takes a pounding but I was wrong. I had it installed in a overhead compartment in my Jeep CJ5 and there is absolutely no way you can listen to a CD. It skips way too much, I took it out and now it's collecting dust. I bought a Pioneer CD player with a USB port on the front and I plug in my jump drive and there is no skipping even while in the dirt. The CD player on the Pioneer works 10 fold better too. I'm staying away from their products.

The PLCD16 seemed like a nice player at first. It sounded fine, and I really liked the Weather band feature. Then, we took the boat with us up to camp last year where we had some rain overnight and the next morning the Pyle would not play. This is a MARINE unit, right? Designed to be around water?? Hmmm... anyway I dried it out as best as I could, it still would not play. It was still under warranty so I sent it in for a look. The repair center said it had gotten wet but since it was under warranty they sent me back a new detachable faceplate. After that I was very protective of it, never let it stay out in the boat overnight, and again it only lasted about two months before the radio portion of it completely quit one sunny morning. It still works as a CD player, but that's it. So, I'm currently in the market for a new unit but sorry to say it won't be this one again. Seemed like it should be a good value for the price, but I was wrong.
