3.0 out of 5 stars it plays Skynnard just duckie, October 26, 2007

By	Scott C. Locklin "Selectos nisi das mihi libe... (Berkeley CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not a sophisticated audioph00l, so I can't make any detailed, "subtle, but unassuming," type nebulosities about the bouquet of the sound quality. I will point out that it was a cinch to install it, and all of the features seem to work as advertised. The removable face removes, the CD player plays, the USB MP3 port works quite well (and it tells you what the song is in a sort of ticker display), the radio performs its tasks adequately, and the AUX cable can in fact be hooked up to an ipod shuffle. Be advised though, for the latter use, you will have to purchase an additional cable to hook up to the RCA jacks in the back, and presumably wire the adapter cable up through your car somewhere. I don't know why a car stereo has RCA jacks (which are two giant dongle-like banana plugs), but this one does. There are apparently other car stereos which provide a better connection (with recharging). The skip prevention seems to work well on the CD player when I bounce all over the place in my monster truck, but, oddly, it seems to freak out when the car shimmies a bit. It might be my imagination, or a dirty CD. A neat subtlety: it manages to keep your place on where you were the last time you played your CD, which is a really nice engineering touch, even if it is kind of useless. I haven't tried the XM radio hookups, as paying for radio waves is for sophisticated people who don't drive monster trucks. The idea of a remote in a car stereo is sort of new to me; I like it.

Probably, if I read the manual I'd understand why the volume knob sometimes ceases to function, but it's a car radio: I don't want to have to read the manual except while installing the thing. It is also rather confusing switching between audio inputs. It would be nice if it were a little less LED heavy on the faceplate. It makes the cab look sort of like the inside of a cheesy eastern European discotheque. If you're dating an eastern European, maybe this will work for you.
