Functional Stereo December 3, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I've owned many aftermarket stereos and considering the current trend of poor stereo ergonomics...this unit stands out. Most stereos these days try to minimize the buttons and go with a large multi-function knob to control everything so you have a "clean" looking stereo and a larger screen. That's fine on paper but in reality they are a pain to use because navigating the menus are a pain. I have a current model Pioneer in one of my trucks that is a no fun to use. I have to navigate menus in order to pause the unit! Anyway, this Clarion has a pause button and most everything you need on the front without a multi function knob. Easy to use. Easy to navigate. No fuss. Function over form. I use this primarily with my USB flash sticks to listen to audio books and assorted music. I installed this my Toyota Tacoma (I bought the dash kit and wiring harness somewhere else) in less than an hour. What a joy. The remote that comes with this unit is pretty handy. I received this from Amazon quickly and in good shape so no complaints there. Overall, I am very satisfied with this Clarion. I bought another one for my wife's Subaru which has not arrived yet. Figured I better buy another one before they "improve" this version.
GAG ME - Installation was a nightmare November 30, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I put this radio in my 1998 Ford F150. It took the better part of two hours. You need to get a wiring adapter and a space filling kit - I got mine from Walmart ahead of time since I knew I was taking out a four inch high radio and replacing it with a two inch high radio.- less than $25 for both. Anyway, I had everything I needed for installation. I should have cut the wires shorter on the wiring harness because I had a heck of a time stuffing all that spaghetti in to the place behind the radio. I finally managed though and the radio works great. I got it because I no longer used the cassette player in the Ford radio and the new Clarion had a USB port and I now put all my music on flash drives. The installation directions were almost useless in my case since none of the pictures matched the place I was placing the radio. Well, it's in and I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Excellent car audio system for the price paid. December 27, 2008

Excellent car audio system for the price paid. I knew about clarion as I have had the similar system from the same brand before. Easy to install and easy to program.

I've been wanting a MP3 player stereo for a while now. My factory stereo quit reading CDs so that gave me a reason to get one. This model has 3pair of preamp outs. I love the usb port on the front along with the line in (mini-din). Reads WMA, MP3, and AAC files. The only thing that I don't like is the blue and red led colors. Wish I could choose something different. This is a great product and sounds wonderful! The functionality of the stereo is good plus it comes with a remote! Bought from Amazon because it was $50 cheaper than Crutchfield.
Nice receiver for the price... January 6, 2009
This receiver replaced a Blaupunkt receiver in my son's Mercedes 260E. The installation went smoothly and we were done in an hour. The sound of the receiver is excellent and the best part of all is that it has the USB port in the front and my son uses it to attach an IPOD. No special adapter or cable is needed to use the IPOD, the standard IPOD cable works fine, and the IPOD can charge when the cable is attached. One thing that would be nice to have would be a way to display the name of the song while it is playing. The display does not continuously display even the FM station it is playing, it will only display the memory number. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to use their IPOD and have a descent sound too. The price of this receiver was well worth it and at Amazon it was cheaper than at Crutchfield.
