I purchased this deck a few months ago and after installing I instantly noticed the clarity of sound it put out, both cd's and the FM radio. This unit has many features and is a great unit in it's price range. If you shop around you can find it real cheap. I bought mine for about $110 out the door. This unit also has a neat little light that blinks red when the face plate is off for a "anti-theft" kinda thing. You can turn it on or off in the controls. I haven't used the remote that comes with it yet because the place I bought it from didn't send any batteries with it and I'm just fine using my hands. Overal this unit is great and I am greatly pleased with it thus far. I don't intend to replace it anytime soon. Once again this unit produces clean pure sound and has many great features. Oh I forgot to mention that you can adjust the frequencies on your unit sends out to your speakers and there are just too many other things to list that this unit does.
