    "Great Unit!"

    by ajelder01 on May 22, 2007

    Pros: Great IPod integration; USB reads flash drives; Awesome display

    Cons: Enter button not strategically located; Presets buried

    Summary: Overall this unit is awesome. The iPod integration works great, not much lag on the menus. The fact that it supports any USB device is excellent. I was a little apprehensive of the fact it does not have a cd player, however after thinking about it I have probably played a total of 5 actual cd's in the past 5 years, so I am not worried about it anymore. The jog wheel works well, however the "Enter" button should be located in the center of the jog wheel and the "Search" where the "Enter" is located. The other con is the radio presets are buried in the menu which doesn't bother me too much as I have a remote which eliminates this problem. The screen is "Beautiful". A little hard to see in direct sunlight but that hasn't been a major issue. The album art is a cool feature though it is not a necessity (a wow feature to show your friends). I saw one review which stated it was hard to find music on larger iPod's. I would agree with that however I just created playlists and use the shuffle function which works fine. I can deal with those occasions in which I have to find a song I want. If you hold the jog wheel to one side it cycles through the songs pretty fast but can be cumbersome while driving.
    In summary I love it so far. You will have to deal with the above cons though witch some people won't want to since the unit costs so much.
