Audio: Above average
Features: Single DIN CD/Cassette is the single best feature
Usability: Pretty poor display, its a bigger deal than I thought
Installation, Docs, tech support: Poor
There are 5 things that I considered for a car stereo:
1. Audio Quality
2. Features
3. Usability
4. Installation and documentation
5. Warranty
For the audio quality, this player was above average. Good Bass even with small speakers, and fairly good clarity.
The most appealing feature in this unit is its single DIN form factor, with CD and cassette combined. This is a big deal, and I could find only a few players in the market today that offered this (Sanyo FXCD and EXCD, Legacy and Pyle). This is a major plus, and the most important reason why I chose this over all else. The price of this unit was also much lesser than a comparable Sanyo. That was the second reason that led me to this player.
However, usability section, I would have to rate this player below average. The screen is hardly visible in daylight, and its almost impossible to see when the day is very bright.
The FM reception is also not as good as other players that I have used in the past.
Regarding documentaiton and installation, I would rate this unit almost a 1. The documentation is really bad: Starting with the quality of paper. There is not what's included in this package list. For instance they included an install bracket, and had a picture of it in the installation, but the doc made it sound as if this is somethign that I need to buy. This bracket was also not very obviously packed, and I didn't find it till quite late, and I had already spent a lot of time looking for the bracket on the internet.
Unless you know how to install stereos, I wouldn't count on the docs to help with the install.
The tech support was also not very friendly.
Warranty is for 2 yrs. which is good, but you are expected to send $20 for return shipping each time and shipping needs to be paid for sending the unit in for service.
