i would say that the lanzar compares excelent in price wise and the futuristic look. i think the only impromvent it could have is to be satelite ready.
I was looking for a replacement for my manufacurer unit which did not have AUX connection. I'm not a sound expert or car audio enthusiast in any way. I bought this for a hundred dollars and was very happy. I create my own music videos for fun and had no problem playing them when I used VSO-DVD software. Really cool. I show it off all the time. I like the personalization features too. Can change the background color of the screen to solid colors or a setting that constantly blends into all colors (which I chose). Also lets you type in a scrolling message which I also use to crack friends up occationally. Overall I have had it for about a year with no major problems. The fun I've had with it was well worth the one hundred dollars I paid for it. And it is still working great =) My only complaints: The faceplate makes a rattling noise do to a small metal clip that secures the faceplate to the deck. Can probably just remove it, I just put a small piece of poster puddy in it and it stopped. Somethings like personalization of the scrolling text must be done with the remote. So you can't lose the remote. If you do you will be pretty unhappy with trying to figure out how do do these things on the faceplate (if it is even possible).
