I bought this before I upgraded to an i-Touch..actually this pushed me to upgrade. The reason being is that on older ipod models (mine was a 5th generation video ipod) you can’t use the ipod controls. You are stuck using the head unit controls only. This is not a problem in itself but navigation can get tedious with all the little buttons. i-Touch and newer Nano models are able to be controlled by either the head unit or the ipod interface. The best part is that once you enable the ipod control, you can still use the head unit controls.
The installation was about as easy as any DIN unit. This will of course depend on the car in which you are installing.
As with any aftermarket unit, there seems to be a lot of buttons very close together. It is too easy to push the wrong button and end up in a mode that changes the function of what you are doing. Unfortunately, I think this is the case with all the models on the market right now.
Back to the iPod support which is the main reason for buying this unit. I read the Crutchfield reviews and determined this model had the best iPod navigation. The navigation is very good but you really can’t search for a song or artist while you are driving and be safe on the road. The iPod interface is much better for this. I generally just use the head unit interface for advancing to the next song sometimes switching between music and podcasts. The rest is easier just to do on the iPod.
I bought two of these; one for each car. I am very happy for the price paid and would recommend it to anyone with an iTouch or iPhone or newer Nano.
One more thing, my car’s interior lighting is blue (VW Jetta and Passat) so I selected the blue lighting on the head unit. It’s fine during the day but far too bright at night. I had to switch to the green light instead

This is a great unit for some one that likes to constantly fine tune their music.The selection switch is very touchy so if you touch it to turn the volume down you may have inadvertently selected your balance,fade or equalizer.The unit is easier to operate at night because the display is not easily seen in the day light.
I really like this unit,it was easy to install and has many options for customising your system,but I am very disappointed in the display not being easily seen in the day light and for the frustration I give 4 stars

So far so good. Very nice for a fair price. Love the digital radio sound quality and text. The faceplate is quite attractive. The only thing I don’t like is that the display is not very visible in daylight, but at night it looks sharp and creates a nice atmosphere. I don’t think this kit includes a protective case for the faceplate, mine didn’t. There are lots of features here, I’ve just started to read up on them. I’m glad I bought this deck.
