Without a doubt this is one of the greatest single din decks that I have seen and owned. Very easy and simple lay out looks very unique unlike any other deck. You may have to but extra stuff for the blue tooth and such but it's worth it. Best deck that I have ever owned, the ipod lay out is very cool displaying album art work and such. But what I like most is that you use the deck as your ipod the big button does everything and scroll threw the songs with the volume on that button. When you get the blue tooth it's great. You can go threw your contacts the mic and nice and clear. The deck colour can be blue or red. Equalizer is not bad. It's pretty basic. But what makes this deck so great is the simplicity of it and the style. You will not regret buying this unit. Alpine has not made a deck near as close as good as this one. And this is a 2009 mode. The other newer ones suck. This is the only alpine deck I would ever buy. Best single din ever. .
