not bad for the price

Original review edited to add two stars after fixing display issues. Verdict: If your budget is tight, this might be worth a look. Pros: - The manual is clear and relatively easy to understand - All cables are clearly labeled - The audio is acceptable for a $20 car stereo. Cons: - The display can be an issue (it either doesn't work or is too bright at night) Details: I don't expect a $20 car stereo to be particularly good, but this one makes acceptable sound from stock car speakers. At first I had problems with the display, which sometimes jerked. The reset button finally worked and for the past 24 hours it's been working as expected, so I'm hoping the display issues were temporary. The radio was relatively easy to install. The wiring was clearly labeled and the manual, while sparse, was clear and to the point. The audio on initial install was acceptable in my 2008 Hyundai Access with the stock speakers that came with the car. The AUX port works great with my phone, tablet and mp3 player. The USB port charges my phone and a quick check with the flash drive shows that it also finds and plays audio files from the USB port.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • expensive
