Finally Updated Radio,
By
This review is from: VR3-VRCD400-USB/MP3/WMA/CD-RW/CD-R/CD In Dash Car Stereo-Brand New!!
Well I have had more then the average number of head units in my day. probably 40 over the years, sometimes switching with friends or whatnot, but then again my "day" was a long time ago.Sometime I did find out though was that for the most part, you get what you pay for so this purchase at $80 was not one I have very high expectations. Well I was coming from a kenwoood mp3/cd player (45x4 2 rca outs, detach, etc...) that I've loved over the years. I did a quick search for usb cards for radios after a short talk of using a usb memory stick at work. Guess what I found? This. Well getting it, the unit looks just as good as its on the ads... even up close it still doesnt look like cheap plastic. The weight of the unit also felt fine (light internal amps and cheap shell can make some of the older units light but I'm in the weeds). Installing it was pretty straight forward, but I could do it in the dark so maybe I'm not the right to ask. The wires for the normal were easy to strip, not to thin (not as much metal as alpines and such but not biggie). The - and + were very easy to tell apart though, along with the standard colors used for the power lines. Performance was something I had very very low expectations for. But I was VERY wrong. Out put was the same as my kenwood if maybe just barely in the VERY smallest way less full... (maybe its just in my mind because for $80 when I paid $400 for my kenwood - thats crazy) Sounded great... the USB worked with a stick I got (4gb). You can put songs in folders and advance through them, or advance 10 at a time. The startup time from putting in the stick was very little... Maybe two seconds at max with 3gb of music on there. You see the folder name, though the ONE big complaint I have is the limited number of characters it shows... Like 6? Come on, I have Dave Matthews and Dave Chappelle on there and its hard to see, so I have to rename on the usb using last name. Only used it two days now, but one of the best $80 I've spent. The reception of the radio was MUCH better then my kenwood or alpine I had in before - which shocked me a LOT, but I dont care about radio that much sooooo

Not Bad At All,
By
This review is from: VR3-VRCD400-USB/MP3/WMA/CD-RW/CD-R/CD In Dash Car Stereo-Brand New!!
The Roadmaster VR3 supports many features that no stereo should go without.It has CD/USB/SD Card access, supports mp3's/wma's, reads text/ID3 tags, has shuffle/repeat, possesses a mute/pause feature, and the up10/down10 buttons do come in very handy. But let's not forget that the "Loud" button is also included. Such an innovative device, however, would be greatly improved with an incorporated feature that remembers what part within the song it was last playing whenever the unit is powered off/on or on mode change. But for the price, you can't complain either. Trust me, this is a great apparatus by all means. I know because I've tried the Sony CDX-GT610Ui, the JVC KD-G830, and the Kenwood KDC-MP435U (all of these have a USB front port); yet none of them come close to my VR3. This car stereo is certainly my favorite. The advantages clearly won me over the name-brand ones. I'll definitely be buying this stereo again should it ever break. This is truly one clever device. If you pay close attention to that movie Superbad, you'll notice that in a scene Seth has the same exact car stereo--the VRCD500SDU, to be exact--which is cool since these kids (Seth and Evan) are nerds, and hence must know a thing or two about technology according to the stereotype. What is the difference between the VRCD400SDU and the VRCD500SDU you may wonder. Well, nothing aside from the faceplate design. Otherwise these two models are exactly the same.

**Warning**,

This review is from: VR3-VRCD400-USB/MP3/WMA/CD-RW/CD-R/CD In Dash Car Stereo-Brand New!!
The only time this thing works is out of the box...not too long after! I have had 3 or 4 of these after taking each back the store! no wonder Wal-Mart does not sell em' any more. I am stuck with the last one cause I cannot return it - no more in store!! The features are nice but after a while the SD card slot and flash drive DO NOT WORK only error-13 is on and then they say to return it to manufacture. Well, send it back and get more junk thru the mail...no...At least the cd works (sometimes) and the aux plug in and the radio work (all the time)...Hope this helps...
