Rosen AM/FM DVD In-Dash 7in LCD Navigation Ipod/Bluetooth Sat GM - Rosen DSGM0710N11 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed this unit in my 2010 Yukon SLT last night and I am very happy with what the unit offers. I removed a real GM Nav Radio and replaced it with this Rosen and like it way more than the GM original. For one thing the GPS is much nicer, the factory only worked with a North up orientation, which I hate, when your going south you will end up turning the wrong way. This unit has a nice 3D screen, more radio presets and a DVD player (which I will most likely never use). The GPS screen is not the most colorful I have ever seen, but that is of no real importance to me, although I know that some people may not think it is "cool" enough for them. It does have IPOD controls and hooked right up to my XM without any problem at all.
As far as the install, well, I did it in less than an hour. All you have to do is use a putty knife to pull the trim piece around the radio off, a 7mm nut driver to remove a total of 8 screws from the radio bracket and your heater controls underneath the radio, and one 7mm screw on the drivers side trim piece between the door and windshield where the tweeter is mounted. The new radio has interface cables that plug directly into the factory cables (takes less than 3 minutes for that part) and hook the GPS antenna to radio, plug in your AM/FM antenna and you are ready to mount the unit back into the dash. The radio will have more wires because of the wiring harness, so you have to tuck the harness back into the small opening behind the radio. Put the temperature control units back in place before you put the radio in place and then tighten up the 8 screws, put your trim piece back on and all you have left is mounting your GPS antenna. I ran the wire underneath the dash, through the fuse box and under the trim piece that holds the tweeter and let the antenna peek put the trim in the very front of the window next to the VIN plate. At that point you just put back the screw holding the side post trim piece and you are all done. It hardly takes any longer than it took me to write this review. You do not have to cut and splice one single wire. The best part was when I turned the unit on, everything worked perfectly.

XtremeMac Airplay Boost FM Transmitter for iPod nano 2G (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had tried several other FM transmitters for my iPod Nano 2G but all failed to pass muster. Be it ease of use, excessive static or simply poor construction they all suffered from deficiencies that rendered them unusable. With the AirPlay Boost however I have been very satisfied with its performance. The default frequency (87.9 MHz) was fine for my area (Tampa, a big but sprawling metropolitan area). My primary use will be in my car and for that scenario it worked well. There was static discernible but I would go so far as to say that it was less than most radio stations. The telescoping antenna was a little flimsier than expected but not so much so that I am concerned about its durability. I am glad it is telescoping as my iPod would not fit in its protective case otherwise. The inclusion of a pass through charging connector at the bottom of the transmitter is a nice feature. The case design of the transmitter blends well with the case of the iPod Nano 2G. I would recommend this product to others.

VR3 AM/FM Stereo CD & MP3 In-Dash Player w/ SD & USB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this to replace the in dash unit in my mini van and I love it. I can load music onto a flash drive and use the usb port, I can play cd's, I can plug my laptop or dvd player in and listen through the speakers, but best of all I can load what I want to listen to onto an easy SD card and slip it into the card reader slot. Love all of that!
What I don't like...the clock function doesn't stay on so if you want to know the time you have to press a button to find out.

Panasonic Strada 7-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this Unit WAY before any of the previous review does, so I already know how this unit works inside out.
yes it has the problem that previous reviewers say but, should we even call those *problems* ? I mean, some of the things could be easily fixed with a simple firmware update. This is Panasonic's first attempt to enter the US's In dash Navigation market. They have great Units in Japan, but I guess Panasonic Japan does not share information with their USA side. So they have to create this from scratch.
Let me list what this unit can do/cant do.
-It can Play MP3 on CD-R/RW, but it cannot read MP3 on DVD+R/RW/-R/-RW.
-It seems that it does not like bad quality CD-R, my friend's cheap CD-R having mad issue with this unit. but mine plays just fine. Well, we should all get quality stuff isnt it ?
-It takes a lot longer, sometimes failed to read DVD-R/RW disc.
-It's DVD playback is Region locked to Region 1, but is not hard to overcome that problem (I think its illegal to say it here)
-Map is based on Navteq's 2005 data, yes you got that right, unit that's out in 2007 still using 2005's map data(maybe because its cheaper, who knows), because I ran into couple of roads that has been changed, one even changed from 2 way into 1 way, almost got me killed. So you better MAKE SURE that you're in the right side of the road.
-Remember to select your route preference before you start your guide. because by default, it does not allow Highway, does not allow tolls, does not allow anything. that means, all local if possible. That might be cool for some people, but I didnt know about it the first time I use it, because my other Unit has the Allow toll and Allow highway option enabled by default. So I ended up spending like 3 hours on something that I suppose to be there in 1 and 1/2 hour.
-The route guidance is kind of funny, sometimes the shortest route that it shows does NOT mean its really the shortest. So if you know that you're already going the shortest route, do NOT listen to the unit.
-It plays back MP3 fine, quality is ok.
-CD Play back is fine, plays original disc no problem, if you want to use a backup, you better make sure the cd-R quality is good.
-You CANNOT record your inserted CD into the HDD. I have no idea what Panasonic is thinking on this one, because as far as I know, the map data used about 10GB of space, that means, in the other words, about 20GB of disc space is there to collecting dust. Maybe a future update will resolve this. who knows.
-HDD unit runs really fast, it takes less than 1 second to get the route out, by default, it shows you 3 routes.
-This unit runs really hot, yes it has a fan behind but ... I would suggest you to turn the screen off if its not in use. it reduce the heat by maybe 30% (rough estimate)
-Screen is big enough, a bit bigger than Pioneer's 7" unit. and the screen is really clear, tried a lot of DVDs on it very good picture quality.
-Fast startup time, about 10 seconds or so.
-Oh yes, did I say the map is not very up to date? Maybe Panasoinc wants to get more money out from us. Anyway, the map data is FAR FROM complete. I cannot find some of the address at all, when I can just do a google search and it pops up right away.
-The way to enter address is kind of funky, you have to enter the way THEY want you to enter, for example, if you want to go 123 Avenue, there're couple of "possbilities", it could be 123th AVE, it could be 123 th AVENUE, 123th AVENUE, 123 AVE, or 123 AVENUE. Keep that in mind.
I still have more to say, but I'll leave those alone.
Is this a good unit ? I think so, if you're looking for fastest and cheapest price HDD unit that *works*, this is a unit for you. but you BETTER MAKE SURE, you try them out first at a store or something.
Im happy with this unit, hey I mean for couple hundred bucks, you get a HDD NAV with dvd playback ? My father's brand NEW CX-7 with all options loaded, all he got was a DVD navigation that cant even play DVD-videos!
Im also 100% sure that Panasonic will update this unit to bring more features out. So dont worry too much about it. Couple hundred bucks only, get it !

Monster A-IP-FM-CH-PS Wireless FM Transmitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, people are getting this transmitter confused with the previous Monster FM transmitter. You are NOT limited to only 8 stations. This transmitter allows you to program in ANY station you choose, and it's very easy to do so.
Pros:
You can program in any station! The stations are NOT predetermined so any empty station you find, just program it in and youre set to go, which makes this perfect for road trips.
Charges up your iPod while you go.
You can set three 'favourite' stations so you can switch back and forth between a couple if one goes out.
Very simple and easy to use. Not a lot of cords to get tangled up.
Cons
Every FM transmitter you buy for your iPod is going to have a loss in sound quality. It is NOT going to sound like youre playing a CD. It sounds like the radio.
No dock or anything to set the little station switcher on. I would've like even a double sided sticker mount so I could stick it to the dash or something instead of it hanging there, but I'm really just being picky here.
Finding a station in the surrounding Cleveland area was tough! There are hardly any completely static stations (I never realized how many darn country stations there are here, yeesh.) So far I have found 4 open stations. However, this is NOT the companys fault. Finding a clear open station is soley going to depend on where you live and where you are when you drive.
I found 3 completely open static stations starting at 87.5 and up. OF COURSE, this FM transmitter starts at 88.1. Grrr. But it wasn't a problem because in the end I was able to find 4 open ones throughout the spectrum. However, it would've been nice if it started at 87.5.
Okay this is COMPLETELY an aesthetic complaint but I dislike red LED lights. My car has blue so it doesn't match, but once again, that is completely nitpicking.
All in all, this is worth the money. It really is a must if you want to play your iPod on the road, but don't expect it to sound like your surround sound home theatre system. It is an FM transmitter.

Tom Tom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this antenna for a couple of weeks now, and it only retrieved traffic info for two days. Since then, it connects to either of two radio stations in Atlanta and reports "no delays on route", even when I'm stuck in a two-hour traffic jam on I-285. Switching stations results in the "green dot" on the traffic monitor, and a further result of "no delays on route".
Several calls to TomTom tech support have been fruitless. The last time, they claimed their traffic server was down indefinitely. That would be bad enough, but the RDS-TMC information is not controlled by TomTom's service, it comes from Clear Channel's Traffic Network. The traffic server is only for their GPRS/Mobile Phone/TomTom Plus traffic service.
I had tried the TomTom Plus service prior to ordering the antenna, and it worked fairly well (when the traffic server was up) but I found the $19.95/month charge that T-Mobile added on to my bill to be a bit excessive when this antenna was supposed to do a comparable job.
I'm sending it back. If it was just an intermittent outage, I could understand that. Two solid weeks of "no traffic on route" while sitting in the I-285 parking lot for thirty-seven miles each way is ridiculous.

Lanzar SD55MUBT 5.4-Inch T-Feet Touchscreen DVD/VCD/CD/MP3/CD-R/USB/AM/FM/RDS Receiver with Bluetooth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my in a timely manner. it installed easily and worked well...for a while. I purchased this product in June. the summer heat here got in the high 90's, so the inside heat in my white pickup was pretty hot. my lanzar unit kept trying to default to DVD mode and sometimes the screen wouldn't come on untill the A/C cooled things down a bit.
The music sounds great and the DVD picture and sound is great, the radio reception could definitely be better. But the graphics of the display while in radio and aux mode are really bad. All the touch buttons work fine but look like 1980's software graphics, it's embarrassing and i found no way to do visual upgrades. There's also a usb port on the front that i never was able to use but tried, there's no clear instruction how to use it.
Ok, so now it's October and we had a cold front move through. I got in my pickup early that morning and the temperature was about 25 degrees. the display quit working permanently but everything else still works, even the touch screen. but it's hard to navigate a touch screen with no display.
All in all everything worked how expected but it doesn't do extreme temperature too well. if you think that was extreme..

Alpine eX-10 - Bluetooth hands-free car kit / iPod interface adapter w/built-in FM modulator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit a few months ago and just found the time to install it in my truck. I had it up and running my iPhone in no time at all. It was real plug and play. As far as the one reviewer using the FM modulator feature, if you have an AUX in jack on your stereo, you can connect directly. That is what I did, and like I said, it sounds great!
I placed mine right on the dash, just a little off center. The wires and control box are buried in my dash. There is a supplied remote control wire with a sensor on it for use with the remote. I spliced into my cigarette lighter and put a 12 volt outlet on it that I picked up at a truck stop, it too is buried in the dash. Very clean looking install.
As far as the bluetooth? I don't use it on the Alpine. I have a Jawbone bluetooth ear piece that works much better than an external mike. Need that noise cancellation feature in my cab.
And the navigation seems to work fine. I just pick an artist and go from there. And it is nice not having to screw around with the iPhone while driving. The little Alpine monitor looks small, but is very readable and easy to navigate.

(More customer reviews)This is the best FM transmitter that I have used to connect my Zune to the car radio. Easy to find empty air space, doesnt clutter the car as the station dial magnectically attaches to the charger and the neat dash pad keeps your Zune up on the dash of your car where it is out of the way yet easy to reach. Love it.

Belkin F8M010 Tunecast III FM Transmitter - Universal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had a lot of optimism for this because my girlfriend has a
Griffin FM transmitter for her ipod and it works great. I liked the awesome display and that it could operate on batteries. The only problem is that it doesn't work. I tried it in both of my cars (a truck and a car) and I held it all over the interior of both cars trying to find the "sweet spot" but I couldn't. I also tried going up the whole FM frequency and couldn't find anything that would work. In frustration I picked up the Sony cassette adapter and it works perfectly and sounds great. Oh well.

Dual XML8110 240-Watt Mechless AM/FM iPod Dock with Bluetooth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit alongside the Dual BTM60 Bluetooth module, to replace my existing bluetooth car stereo. I was really looking for a good way to mount and charge my iPhone whenever I was in the car, and do hands-free calling. But this unit was a huge step backward in terms of sound and call quality from my Clarion head unit. I reviewed the BTM60 separately (which has absolutely terrible audio quality), but for this I will focus on just the head unit. The sound quality is decent - not amazing, but better than a stock stereo. But it is definitely not made for an iPhone. When I put my iPhone in, I can hear so much background noise as it charges (it's almost like you can hear the high-pitched trickling of electricity every 2 seconds). Blasting the music hides it a bit, but it's just not acceptable to have that when listening to music - they should have done a better job isolating the charging circuitry so it didn't interfere with the audio signal. Aside from that, because of the way the faceplate folds down, the iPhone is at an upward angle. Since most car dashes are already angled, this makes my iPhone point up at 45 degrees, making it hard to see the screen because it's facing the ceiling. So 2 days later, this car stereo (and bluetooth module) were uninstalled, and my trusty Clarion is back in. It's shocking that nobody has created a decent iPhone-mounted car stereo, but I guess we'll have to just keep waiting.

Alpine TUA-T550HD - HD radio tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got one of these and it didn't pick up many stations but sounded great. Thought the reception was normal from the HD reviews I've read. But then it would not turn on when I started the car -- just dead. The regular tuner came on but had no antenna so it didn't work. Turning off the car and turning it back on "fixed" it for a couple of days but then it started getting worse. Got the unit replaced.
The new unit picks up MANY more stations than the first and worked good for a couple of weeks. Now its starting to have dead audio occasionally when I turn on the car. The difference with this one is that the radio comes on -- says 'digital' on the faceplate -- but there is no audio until you turn off the car. That's right, turn off the car, not the radio. Then it usually works when the car is turned back on.
This is very annoying. Alpine makes an amazing amplifier in the 9885 and it is awesome with my iPod connected directly to the radio. But the radio in the 9885 sucks, which is why I bought the HD radio, but the HD radio has its own kinds of problems.
Unless you really like putting up with problems, don't get this tuner until the bugs are worked out.

Pyle PL91MU AM/FM-MPX Electronic Tunning Radio with USB/SD/MMC Reader Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am not a sound expert but I was looking for a simple car audio receiver that I could use a SD card with and did not have a CD. I installed it in my '98 BMW 525i to replace my unit that was stolen. Had to buy a BMW radio wire harness and antenna adapter to match up (extra $10). It is working perfectly. It matches the interior on my car perfectly.
Overall I am very pleased with the unit, no bells and whistles but more than adequate. Some minor complaints but I will survive. I am using a 2GB SD card and transferred all my favorite songs from my music collection onto it. I don't know what is the maximum size SD card that can be used. No more car clutter with CDs and CD cases. Just slide in the SD Card and instant music.
PROS:
1. Simple to use.
2. Excellent performance for a great price.
3. No need for CDs, CD scratches and sound skips when driving
4. Love the use of SD card and USB drive. I can change out and add songs whenever I want.
5. AM/FM Radio reception is good.
CONS:
1. Face plate is not removable so is an obvious theft target.
2. Cannot forward/reverse within a song. It starts all over or skips to next song.
3. On car restart the unit remembers the last song, but not the last location within the song, so you have to listen to it all over again.
4. No remote. I really wish it came with a remote. It does have a remote sensor on the face, which is weird.
Overall, I would recommend it to any non-audio freak who is not looking for all the bells and whistles.

Peripheral HDRT HD Radio Tuner Add-on for PXAMG Interface (PXAMG required) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Edited 2 years later...
This product is flashy in the box, but it has several glitches that keep it from truly shining.
1 (A+)Easy installation with an intuitive wiring layout. They include the wiring harness for both Acura and Honda makes, and a return box so that you can easily recycle the wiring harness you don't use. Yeah for green thumbs!
2 (C)This unit requires that you have a pass through device such as their unit, the Peripheral PXAMG Universal iPod Adapter. The unit would be MUCH better as an ALL-IN-ONE Aux/Ipod/HD radio input. Making room for both units in your car is somewhat difficult at times. In fact I would go one better and incorporate a switch for the antenna input so that you can use your car antenna with both the OEM radio tuner, or the HD tuner (with this device you un-hook from the OEM radio making all antenna inputs go through the HD tuner). I will explain in depth shortly.
3 (D)The printed instructions are INACCURATE/INCOMPLETE. upon completing install I attempted to use the unit and thought for certain that it was broken. Fiddling with my radio I stumbled upon the correct manner to start the HD tuner/Aux input selector. A couple times practicing it and now I find it easy. For my car the correct method is to change from sat/cd input to FM/AM, then change back to sat/cd; following this you must (within 4 seconds) press the seek forward/backward button and hold it for 5 seconds. This causes the menu of options to start scrolling wildly, listing AUX/SAT/IPOD/HD Radio. I have to release and then tap the arrow button to the input I want, release for 4 secs and viola the input starts.
4 (D-)The Sound Quality is on par with satellite radio, meaning excellent, especially when you are listening to HD channels that have a strong signal. However there are some catches to this statement. It seems the radio tunes to the local standard FM channel first, then if HD is present on the same frequency it switches over to HD. This can cause a slight stutter in audio with a noticeable change in quality of sound. PLUS there is a loss in synch of audio as most HD stations aren't in perfect synch with their analog output. If your radio is having problems tracking the HD signal then there is an annoying switch back and forth from standard FM to FM-HD. It appears in the form of constant stuttering in audio with a noticeable upgrade/downgrade in sound quality. The loss in audio synch as mentioned before is HIGHLY noticeable and may have to do with how the tuner selects which signal it will track. Strangely you may have a good signal with the HD tuner, but if the FM tuner sees a significantly stronger signal the unit will still swap back and forth. I find this issue UNBEARABLE and have gone the effort of installing a pass-through with switch for the antenna cable so that I can use the built in FM tuner rather than the HD tuner for certain stations that show this problem due to reception in my area. I have this issue with 2 of 6 radio stations I listen to in my area.
5 (C-)When switching to the HD tuner the display on my radio still reads that it is on XM satellite input. I can deal with that except that unless I am paying attention to how many times I have selected the input I won't know if I am on AM-HD or FM-HD. It can be a little distracting trying to select the channel while driving. Also, about 1 in 6 or 7 times when selecting the HD tuner the front panel control inputs from my radio do not get accepted by the HD tuner and I am forced to change to standard FM tuner and back to get the controls to respond. Annoying, but livable.
6 (A-)AUX input (I don't have an IPOD so I can't review that side), the unit (Peripheral PXAMG Universal iPod Adapter) that is required to make the HDRT work will ONLY allow you to have 2 of the 3 possible inputs at a time. Your options are: HDRT, AUX (mini stereo 3/8inch plus R/L RCA type), and IPOD. This is livable, but they should have been able to combine all the inputs into a single cable, or used a switch, or some other ingenuity.
7 (A+)AUX input sound quality is superb, if a little quiet. I had to turn up my MP3 player to be able to hear it well on the radio.

VR3 Roadmaster/VR3 HD Radio Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very poorly designed product, all the way around. It has the cosmetic appearance of a very low-end electronic product. The cable from the remote to the base unit is bulky & short. Lousy design making it hard to install. The base unit is massive and hard to conceal under the dash. Power needs to come from your 12v accessory/cigarette lighter on the dash. Again, making it hard to conceal/install. To sum up.......Save Yourelf Plenty of Frustration, and AVOID this product.
