What's great about it: sound, colors, ease of use
What's not so great: haven't found anything i dislike about it yet!
I love this product, got it about a month ago for my honda civic. I mostly have my iPod plugged into the USB, it also charges it when it is plugged in. It sounds great and the colors are awesome. Not gonna like one of the reasons I picked this one is because of the changing colors! Totally worth the money! :)

What's great about it: Lot of features and USB makes IPOD management a breeze
What's not so great: Controls are hard to see and on top of each other
Great unit for the price. Clarity and tone is very nice and features are numerous. I found this unit to be the best at the price point for not only linking to the IPOD but actually controlling it either from the unit or from the remote (limited from the remote to basically skipping through songs). You can also set the unit to allow you to do all the selecting straight from the IPOD. Of course there is USB port so anything will work (memory sticks, USB drives, etc).
And if that's not enough, there is a RCA port for use with about any other device like MP3 players and such.
We are using this unit in a large camper and it powers both in doors speakers and outside. We can sit under our 30' awning and hear every song with clarity, even in the outdoors.
Only drawback to me is the controls are small and on top of each other making seeing those difficult at times. But once you get familiar with it, that is no problem.

I installed this myself. It took longer however because I had to use the supplied harness because the older unit would not work, so that meant splicing and reconnecting all the wires. Took me about an hour overall, but everything else was simple plug and play.

What's great about it: USB for ipod, radio preset buttons (my last stereo didn't have that!), pandora ready - I haven't used that yet
What's not so great: display is really hard to see during the day time
I just wanted a stereo that I could connect my ipod nano to and that had buttons to save radio station since my last one didn't not have those buttons and it drove me insane. I paid about $89 for it and installed it myself with the help of youtube, so it was a bargain. For under $100 my 2001 car can play my ipod and the sound quality is fantastic, especially compared to those godforsaken radio transmitting ipod connector things. The only thing that I don't like is how dim the display seems during the day, it's very hard to see. I usually have to block the sun with my hand to see what time it is. Other than that it's perfect.

What's great about it: good price for what it is
What's not so great: will need to read the manuel on how to program certain things
This is a good stereo. I bought it for my Birthday and for the price you get your monies worth. It is not top of the line although it is not horrible either. I just wish it would have been easier to program certain things into it, this is the first stereo I had to whip out the manual on. The sound I really cannot speak on because I have amps and custom speakers. I LOVE the way it lights up and you can change colors or let it change automatically. That was really what got me to buy this one. I am more than happy overall with my purchase. Plus you can plug in the Ipod and listen that way. The CD player works great. So far I am very happy and I have had it for a month now and no issues with it. I would recommend this product. I had just the factory stereo/CD player and this one is far better than that.

What's great about it: Great price and features
What's not so great: Not the highest quality, but not bad.
I payed about $75-100 because we needed a new radio in the RV. For the price, the features are amazing. Aux and USB input in the front, Aux input in the back for the RV's entertainment system. I got my father able to use all the features and set his preferances in just a few minutes, so its easy to work too.
Its not the highest quality or has the most features, but for the price and what you get, its a 5 star for me.

What's great about it: USB
What's not so great: iPhone control.
Wanted to upgrade a broken radio in an old car for little money. This did it. Wanted USB hookup for charging also. The only complaint is trouble controlling for iPhone but probably user error. Color changing face is neat. I also like the remote so passengers can control from back seat.

What's great about it: Almost everything!
What's not so great: No USB in back of head deck.
I bought this approx a month ago and waited before I wrote the review because I was weary of being satisfied after having it installed in my car. None the less, it sounds great, you can change the lights to any color you want (I chose pink!), and it has a million plus pre-sets. The remote it comes with is small, simple, and easy to use. The only thing I didn't like about the head deck was it doesn't have a USB feature in the back to hook up your ipod or what have you in your glove box. The USB and AUX features work great so I can charge my ipod while listening to it. I love love love this head deck and all my girlfriends did too when they saw the color! Great value and great price!

What's great about it: tons of features at such a low price
What's not so great: the menu can be a little hard to figure out
This is a really great unit. I was looking at this and also a pioneer that was about $60 more. I decided that it wasn't worth the extra dough for minimal gain. Boy am I surprised at just how amazing this stereo really is. The sound is a huge improvement over the old JVC deck i got this to replace it. It was very quick and easy to install. I can't believe that for such a good price I got, multiple color display, front USB for my iphone, sub woofer out and control, and great sound to boot! Don't look at it anymore...just go buy it you won't be disappointed.

What's great about it: its a good radio for the price
What's not so great: you have to retune the radio if your battery dies or the fuse for the radio is blown
I bought this radio a wile ago to upgrad from the old pioneer i had in my 88 astro. Its a good radio for $90 bucks and i have my 2 12s running good with the radio i also like the option to change color and you can use the usb port to charge your phone. I lived in portage and my brother hooked it up on the way back and we had everything hooked up and tuned befor we got to deforest

What's great about it: Can attach my zune and phone through the USB port and listen
What's not so great: Won't charge up my zune or phone through the USB port.
Very good, took a little to understand all the features but okay. 1 problem is the USB does not put out enough to charge my phone or zune, what's really cool is I can play my music straight from the USB without using the AUX cord.

What's great about it: Auxiliary Inputs, Front and Back. USB, Remote Control and Detachable Faceplate.
What's not so great: NONE
I bought this KDR-530 at Bestbuy for $89.99 not including car kit and installation.
The installer was nice and friendly. He showed me the installation process, and he was very kind to show me some of the features of my new CD deck. He had the deck installed less then an hour. There was one thing that I noticed when I left the store, I had a rattle coming from my dash. At first I thought it was coming from the radio, but it was coming from somewhere under the dash. That's find, I can fix that at a later time.
The radio sounds great and it has front and rear auxiliary inputs, plus a front USB port, which allow you to connect an iPod, iPhone 4, MP3 player or other portable audio device with a 3.5mm stereo mini jack. It also has Bluetooth technology which I have a aftermarket bluetooth device plugged in the rear auxiliary input.
This radio plays CD, CD-R/RW, WMA and MP3 playback formats. This is the first CD deck that I have own that plays MP3 format. LOVE THIS!
This radio also has a separated variable-color display. you can change the color of the display to your favorite color. For me it's RED!
This tuner has 24 presets, 6 AM, 18 FM. To be honest with you, I don't listen to much AM/FM radio anymore. I just plug in my iPhone 4 and listen to MP3, Pandora and other radio apps.
In closing, this radio has a lot of bang for the bucks! Sounds great and looks great! I highly recommend this to anyone!
