I wont bore you with a recap of the other reviews. I have just installed the unit, and am quite happy so far. The HD radio is great, as you hear it lock into the HD channels, it is easy to hear the difference. MP3s play well, and really I have no complaints other than there are a million functions, and the unit is not intuitive in its use. For instance, it is easy to forget how to change settings--push and hold the volume control, then push to move from one setting to the next, and toggle by turning the volume up and down. I forgot and took a long time parked one day to remember. (Keep the manual in your car.)
There is one glitch to know about. I thought my unit had failed one day after installing it. The faceplate controls would not work, but the remote worked fine. I was very unhappy. Then I pulled the bluetooth unit out of the pocket it was stored in, and discovered the problem. If the button on the optional bluetooth unit is depressed, none of the faceplate controls will work. So if you store it in a pocket like I do, be sure the button is not depressed.
Overall it is nice unit. There are probably better units, and certainly easier to use headunits, but since I paid only $30 at Best Buy for the unit, and another $24 for the Bluetooth unit, I am very satisfied with it. The bluetooth, which I never would have paid full price for, is awesome, sounding better than any of my bluetooth headsets. Supposedly you can also stream music by bluetooth, but I don't have any devices that do that, so I couldn't test it.
For full price, I'd give this four stars, but for the price I paid, an enthusiastic five stars.Get more detail about Dual XHD6425 4X50 Watt Bluetooth-Ready HD Radio and MP3 Player.
