Cool In Dash Receiver

This thing is amazing, but it has two downsides. I installed it myself and it took about 2 hours. It took most of the time to remove the old block. Installation was easy with an adapter made for my car model. Blue Tooth is crystal clear. During phone calls, the bezel backlight will flash when your Bluetooth smartphone is set up. Comes with 2 USB ports although they are both on the back. HD radio is out, but I blame that on the mountains I live near. The two complaints I have are that I have fewer options to adjust the audio settings than my old DEH-P4600MP, so the audio is less clear. as previously. This can simply be because I haven't found the necessary settings yet, maybe they are hidden somewhere. Another complaint about the backlight, it's great at night and during the day it's a bit difficult to read the screen due to glare. I set it to white and it's still hard to see the entire screen. I didn't have this problem with my old device either, as it had a blue backlight and the display had white writing. Those two issues aside, I'm happy with my purchase. I can live with the display having glare issues, but I need my audio to sound like it used to. If anyone has any advice on how to tweak the audio settings beyond a simple equalizer please email me.
