Works with iPods Don't worry if you don't have an iPhone--the TuneCast Auto Live also works with the iPod touch, nano, and classic. Although the GPS-assisted station locator won't work with the iPod, you'll still have access to ClearScan technology, which automatically scans for the best FM frequency without the need for an app. Just press the ClearScan button and adjust the stereo to the resulting station.
Programmable Stations and Charging Capability The TuneCast Auto Live features two preset programmable buttons that allow you to store your preferred FM stations for frequently traveled routes. The device also features a dock connector that charges your iPhone or iPod, so you can keep your tunes playing without interruption on even the longest road trip.

Planet Audio P265IU AM/FM/CD/MP3/Bluetooth Compatible Receiver with Full iPod Control Compatibility with Front USB Port and Full Detachable Face Plate Review

The "normal" functions of the radio including AM/FM and the CD player work just fine. However, I purchased this car audio receiver specifically for its full IPod compatibility, along with blue tooth. In order to use it with my IPod Touch the unit required a special Ipc40 integration cable, which I also purchased and installed. Initially, when I only had about 4-7 gigabytes of music on the IPod, the unit worked great and provided control of my IPod directly from the radio display. Now that I've got about 21 gigabytes of music on the IPod, the radio is unable to complete the "searching" function and just hangs in that mode. As a result of that failure, I am extremely disappointed with the unit.

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

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

(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.

Clarion MAX675VD Double DIN DVD/CD/MP3/WMA Touch Screen LCD Receiver Review

Clarion MAX675VD Double DIN DVD/CD/MP3/WMA Touch Screen LCD Receiver
Average Reviews:

I bought this unit in October 2007 and it is still rocking. I have it inside my sport 4X4 truck and it's accompanied by 4 pioneer 6"X9" speakers (1 each door), 2 tweeters and a Kicker CVR 12" Subwoofer. I use only one amplifier which is a 4 channel Boss Acoustic Riot Amp that pushes 1600W!!!!! OH YEAH. I can keep a party with this set up. ALL features including video out works with my 5.5 Generation 80GB Video Ipod.
The stereo is amazing and it gives more value than I expected. The touch screen mimicks the ipod unit which makes "ease of use easier". I bought the IPOD Video cable separately and its just plug and play. The one draw back is that the IPOD 160GB (Sixth generation) does not provide video out on this Clarion stereo so if you have the 5.5 Gen IPOD it's better for you.

Power Acoustik PTID-7000 Single DIN Nav Ready A/V Source Unit w/ Detachable Oversize Digital 7? TFT-LCD Touch Screen

I oringinally bought a Soundstorm playerSoundstorm SD960TS 7-Inch In-Dash DVD/MP3/DC Receiver with Motorized Flip-Out Touchscreen Monitor and it broke on me in 3 days. I RMA'd it and couldn't wait so I started looking for a replacement. I found this one and oh how happy am I that I was impatient. The picture quality was 100% better. Better resolution on the same size screen. The front removable face in VERY nice for security. It does everything that the Soundstorm didn't for me. And if I wanted to buy extra items, this player can have naigation easily added to it and a TV tuner. And for a $200 player you will be surprised. The Soundstorm seemed like a $200 player and the Power Acoustic feels like a $500 player, You will be happy with this one. 5 star A+ model!

I have Alk Technologies, PC Miler Navigator 430. It also uses NAVTEQ maps. It will still send me on truck restricted roads, happened to me today, and on very rare occasions, a low bridge. I'm trying to find out if the new Garmin GPS nuvi 465t for trucks uses NAVTEQ maps. If so, I wouldn't waste big money on these GPS's. I would just buy a cheap Tom Tom or Garmin, and read a map!!

I ordered this unit on Thursday Nov. 11th with two day shipping and got it the next day. Pretty impressed with that. Installing this unit was a breeze and it fit perfectly in my 97 Ram. For the price, great unit. I was impressed with the quality of the build... especially the RCA outputs having rubber coated jackets with attached rubber caps when not in use. Bluetooth works great and LCD screen is sharp and bright. USB only supports up to 249 tracks of audio and SD slot only supports 512kb. The only down side is that I didn't recieve the remote control with the unit, which has limited me on some features that can only be accessed by remote. SSL customer service is somewhat frustrating as I can never get anyone to call me back about getting the remote sent, but I'll keep trying. But overall I'm very pleased with the player. Does everything I want for a great price. Since I couldn't find any reviews on this product before I purchased it, I hope this helps someone along the way.

SONY MEX-5DI CD Receiver for Car Stereo Review

SONY MEX-5DI CD Receiver for Car Stereo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let's start by getting the obvious out of the way. This cd player is gorgeous. From the chrome face and lcd screen, to the amount of features the Mex-5di offers, it's quite an amazing head unit. Cd/mp3 playback quality is great, but keep in mind that the Mex-5di has no built-in amplification, so for good sound quality you'll also need good aftermarket amplifiers.

The motorized cd tray is a nice touch, and coupled with Sony's G-protection, you'll never hear another distracting "chirp" of the cd skipping when you drive through a pothole.

Also nice is the ability to personalize your cd player with pictures and short movie clips. Sizing the movie clips for playback takes some work however, as the image cannot be over 64x64 bytes and cannot be more than 10 frames long. The Mex-5di is more flexible with still pictures, and will automatically size pictures to fit the display.

Most important to keep in mind is the fact that the short movie clips and slideshows will play back WHILE DRIVING, and it is completely legal for it to do so.

I do however have one complaint about this cd player, and that is the lack of a detachable face. For one, anyone who sees you drive by will most likely see your bright expensive cd player shining back at them. Sony did come up with an alternative method to deter theft, but without giving away what it is... let's just say it won't work, and without an alarm system on your car you'll spend a lot of time worrying about the safety of your cd player.

Also, I live in New England and in the winter the temperature in the car will often times drop below freezing. Without a detachable faceplate, the liquid crystal display is subject to the elements and it will freeze. This won't be a problem unless you turn the unit on while the temperature in the car is below freezing. When the Mex-5di's display turns on while the crystals are frozen, the rapid heating will cause the crystals to expand and crack, ruining the display. So remember to keep the unit off for a good 10 minutes while the car is warming up.
All in all, the Mex-5di is a top-notch cd player. If Sony came out with this same model tomorrow with a detach face, I would sell my Mex-5di and buy the new model. But as of right now, this cd player is hands-down the best on the market.

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..

Pioneer Premier DEH-P710BT - Radio / CD / MP3 player / digital player - Full-DIN - in-dash - 50 Watts x 4 Review

Pioneer Premier DEH-P710BT - Radio / CD / MP3 player / digital player - Full-DIN - in-dash - 50 Watts x 4
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Well, after anxiously awaiting this stereo to be released by Pioneer, and then waiting for stores to stock it, I finally ordered mine on-line and had it installed about a month ago. In addition to the tuner, I am using an HD receiver (GEX-P20HD), my BlackBerry 8310 (no ipod or iphone yet), and Kingston DataTraveler 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I did not need the Motorola Antenna Y-adapter suggested by Amazon.
There are many things to love about this stereo:
1) The Bluetooth hands-free feature is great and I love the convenience and sound quality of being able to play music off of my BlackBerry via Bluetooth.
2) HD is well worth it, as radio stations sound very good and I love having new radio choices on the supplemental HD channels.
3) The two USB inputs are really convenient. Note that if you use the iPod connector you'll only have 1 USB input available as the iPod connector connects to one of the USBs. I bought my 16GB flash drive for ~$30 and it's so nice not to have to carry multiple CDs anymore in the car.
4) The display is gorgeous. It's surprising how cheap all other car displays now look.
5) The sound is fantastic
Some suggestions that would make the receiver even better (which maybe can be fixed with future firmware upgrades if Pioneer is reading this):
1) You can only preset 6 stations per FM band. Car radios have been around for many decades, we have put a man on the moon, iPods hold tons of music, HD radio is here, etc. It's silly that Pioneer still limits you to 6 stations. True, you do have FM1, FM2, and FM3, but they aren't connected. I'd like 18 or so stations on one band and program music on the other bands when I'm in a different city.
2) When presetting a station, you get a generic Preset Ch 1, Preset Ch 2, etc, vs. the call letters of the station or the frequency of the station (ie. KTCL, or KTCL 93.3)
3) When playing MP3s of a flash drive in shuffle mode, and you don't like a particular song and press next, the next song from that folder plays. I think it should shuffle randomly to any song on your flash drive.
4) I would suggest that shuffle capability be expanded. When playing from a flash device, I think it would be great to shuffle locally within the folder (e.g. the currently playing Rise Against CD), locally within the directory (e.g. all Rise Against CDs in the Rise Against folder), and then a total shuffle of all music on the flash drive.
5) Every now and then, something doesn't work. Maybe no radio stations come in, or the pressing the voice command to call a number on the remote doesn't work, or the unit powers down by itself. A power cycle always resolves the problem.

We purchased this because the pic showed that it was a bluetooth system and we received it, hooked it up and it DID NOT have it!! It didn't say it in the description but you never know if they just forgot to put it but since we saw it said it in the pic we got it! So we then returned it for a WAY better PYLE!! This also had a FUZZY screen, NOT crisp! Also it is a little bigger that the dash kits that are out there so we had to dremel it out on the bottom so it would fit, you really cant tell because the stereo had stuck out farther. But I do not recommend this item!!
