This device is garbage!

Installed the device, worked for 5 minutes, then the sound completely disappeared. You get what you pay for. Save money and time, don't buy this product!

Pros
  • Blue backlit keys. Peak output power: 50W x 4 channels. RMS output power: 17W x 4 channels.
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

You get what you pay for.

Stereo sounds great. But I can only get it to work in accessory mode. when i drive it starts but there is no sound. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. That's a cheap radio.

Pros
  • Rockville RDM18 Digital In-Dash Media Player AM/FM MP3 USB SD Bluetooth Receiver with Remote Control. Built-in Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming.
Cons
  • Weak kit

Bluetooth toggles on and off

Great radio for you! Easy to use and the quality is quite good. TO UPDATE! Bluetooth keeps turning on and off so I can no longer connect my phone for music. Big disappointment. I hadn't even had a year!

Pros
  • Dual USB - one for music playback and one for smartphone charging. clock function. LCD color display. Universal size single din (5.1 cm high).
Cons
  • Nothing here

The bezel cannot be removed by the mentally sane.

Works and sounds great for a cheap radio but was incredibly difficult to install with the built in bezel and bezel bracket on the body making it very difficult to remove the bezel requiring complete disassembly of the entire bezel. Plates and some cutting difficulties but if it was a car or truck that needed a decorative ring that would be great but I didn't put it in.

Pros
  • Wireless remote control included. Displays lyrics information. MP3 ID3 tag Displays title/artist/album title. AM/FM tuner with 18 FM/12 AM presets.
Cons
  • Angry

The decorative ring cannot be removed by healthy people.

Works and sounds great for a cheap radio but was incredibly difficult to install as the built in bezel ring and faceplate were attached to the body making bezel removal very difficult requiring complete disassembly of the entire bezel and some cutting Difficulty, but if it was a car or truck that needed a decorative ring that would be great, but I didn't use it.

Cons
  • Expensive

Great for the price

Decent cheap radio. I bought this for $14 so wasn't expecting much and would happily throw it away if it was just junk. That's actually very good. The mic isn't the best so you can make radio calls but the person on the other end said I sound like I'm in a well. I have a USB stick plugged in all the time and the system works fine when paused while playing a song. The only thing that's a bit annoying is that the random setting is disabled, so every time I turn on the radio I have to hit a random

Pros
  • 5 selectable tone curves. 8GB SD card reader. 2 sets of pre-outs (2 volts). AUX input on the front to connect any audio device.
Cons
  • Big and chunky
