Advantages: simple to use brilliantly cost effective

Disadvantages: display not all that great

I bought this unit for the last car that i owned. I thought that it did everything you could want from a low end head unit. There are so many features on it that are really advanced for the amount of money that you pay for it. It even has a headphone jack that you can pop your i pod into as well. Considering it is arounf the 80 pound mark i thought that this was an excellent little feature. My one even offered bluetooth compatibility with you phone a brilliant feature as it means that you odn't have to fork out for another handsfree kit, you can simply connect your phone to it wirelessly and accept iin coming calls at the touch of a button.

The only thing that i think could be improved was the display. I wasn't especially happy with the 80's style square numbers and letters. I though it made the whole appearance of the unit a little budget to be hones and not really up to the standar of the rest of the head unit.

One thing i would mention is that if you have problems with the unit not rememering the date and time, simply take out the unit and replace the yellow wire that comes out of the back of the unit and pop it into the whole in the red space. I didn't do that for a few months and though it was broken.

All in all i this was wau more than i was expecting from a fairly cheap little head unit. Seriously one to think about if you are conidering buying a new car stereo.

Summary: brilliant budget stereo
