My reason for giving this unit 3 stars is the complete lack of station preset buttons (Typically 1-6) on the face plate. Navigating, and setting the presets is irritating. I am a JVC guy and have installed and have had installed no less than 10 units in my and my families cars over the years. If you want easy to use get Sony CDXGT640UI MP3/WMA/AAC Player CD Receiver (Black) [....]
Works the same way pretty much but has station buttons.
I freely admit that I should have looked closed to the picture the unit to see that it lacked buttons, but I made the wrong assumption that it had them hidden somewhere...it does not.
I liked the idea of being able to match the display color to the native color of the interior illumination. All in all it works wonderfully and as advertised. I am using the usb/i-Pod interface and it is great. The on board controls are nice, but it is easier to use the i-Pod itself to search through songs and folders, start the music/podcast then plug it in. Another nice feature regarding the I-Pod is when you turn the car off,the radio saves where you are @ in the song and resumes that place when you turn it back on.
