2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it., July 3, 2009

By	Demario Moore (Memphis,Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this system for about a year. It has a very small screen but thats ok for me. The one thing i don't like is that it drains my truck battery. I've had to replace my battery twice since i bought this reciever. This is the only real flaw. Its not that bad but i would go for something a little bit better if i had the chance.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pyle of Crap, December 21, 2008

By	Gregory M. Gammon - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I should have expected poor design and poor quality right out of the box with with such a cheap unit. But seriously, did Pyle even test this thing themselves? To make this easier to read I will list the Pros and Cons of this Unit.

PROS:

-Very rich in features such as back up camera support
-Good DVD player. It plays both Wide screen and standard ratios well. The resolution is OK. The color and brightness are a bit dull though. I haven't tried messing with those yet.
-The Radio displays both the time and radio station frequency at the same time in it's interface.(most radios do this)
- It has almost 90% of the features mentioned.
-The face plate is attractive looking with blue highlights.
-The motorized face plate works well and even lets you position the viewing angle using it`s servo motor(although the radio forgets all this when you shut the car off)
-The remote works well (and has to because the buttons on the head unit can't get to half the features of it)

CONS:

-If you push the face plate or one of the buttons too hard the unit turns off.
-The face plate is large and heavy and will probably block some of your airconditioner controls.
-The unit doesn't always turn on when the car is turned on.

-The interface design is very poor, glitchy, difficult and tedious to use. The 5" screen is very poorly used in the interface. I have had a few head units and I found every feature difficult to figure out on this one. For example, if you plug in a USB device with music on it, the screen on the head unit will show every file on it in no particular order. Every file is named with a number and 4 letters. The first two letters on the screen are the first two letters in the name of the MP3 file and the last two letters on the screen are the last two letters in the name of the MP3 file. To scroll you push the thumb knob in the opposite direction the arrows would indicate. The screen does show which song and album you have selected but half the time they are either wrong or mixed with the title of the previous song played. Every aspect of this radios interface has issues like this. The "Engrish" instructions are little help.

- I can't get the RDS feature to work on this. I really tried!

-This has a parking brake DVD disabler. However, It also disables the USB reader too. So the Parking brake wire of the radio must be grounded or else you can't play MP3s while you drive.
