Smooth operation, minor details should be fixed via firmware
By Maria Chacon Duarte
This unit performs very well with a lot of common audio formats, MP3, MP4, WMV, among others. Common video formats are also playable, as Divx, Mpeg and Avi. Fast read of CD's, DVD's, USB flash units, SD / Micro SD (using an adapter) not sure if the unit is compatible with SDHC class 6 or 10 (soon i will test this kind of flash cards and update this review). The screen is very bright and shows an excellent resolution, at full screen, 16:9 or 4:3 view, you can watch without problems any movie at the middle of a sunny day.Pros:- Easy installation, all cables properly arranged with good quality connectors and isolation.- Easy load of CD's and DVD's, fast reading of both class of media, even RW.- Fast contents reading of USB flash drives, from 2Gb to 8Gb.- Radio is very sensitive tuning distant stations, FM1 to FM3 memory slots (like 6+ stations saved at each slot) AM haves 1 only.- Dedicated subwoofer connection.- Very clear audio output, no distortion or noise detected.- No dead pixels present in the screen.- Iconic display of present devices, SD, CD/DVD, USB.- Simple screen saver (color exchanging like 1 minute shift) when using audio from any of the sources.- Medium size wireless IR remote controller with a lot of functions included, slim form factor.- Detachable Faceplate.- USB Port is powered, can be used to charge USB devices like bluetooth earphones, cellphones (nokia for example) without affecting the unit. No errors until now.- Unit Suitable for offroad use, even driving on non paved roads, with repeated vibration, CD's and DVD's perform very well without noticeable skipping. Personally i prefer to use digital content instead of optical, load is faster and not affected by vibration.- AV in connection available, you can use it for a rear camera or a video source (hand video camera)Cons:- Sometimes, when using USB flash drives, unit re-reads content more than once (looks like an issue with id tagging)- FM tuner can be too much sensitive to enviromental noise in areas with high voltage wiring. Randomly, some foreign stations cause interference with local ones.- AM tuner does not perform very well tuning "ending of band" stations (1300, 1430, for example) even near of them.- Menu fonts are very little, when using an Audio CD, description of track number, repeat function and total tracks on cd use only a little part of screen (top center) Navigating through the folders of an USB/SD drive or MP3 CD is very challenging, because text is like is 2mm in size.- Faceplate can be easyly scratched and is like a "fingerprint magnet"- Power button is a bit tricky, i need to push near the power acoustic logo (near the "p" exactly) to turn on the unit, just upside the "mute" button.In my opinion this unit is very solid, with very good price / value relation. Menu font issues can be very easy to correct via firmware update. Maybe is a good idea to load pictures from USB / SD as screensaver instead of plain color shift. Instead of the issues mentioned before, i highly recommend this product.

SUCKS!
By B. Augustus
The first month this thing was awesome, hard to use but awesome! Then the touch screen started going nuts and random things would happen everytime we hit a bump or made a turn... Now it changes from FM to DVD to MP3 all on its own while sitting at stop lights and ejecting the CD... I Hate this thing!
