Honestly, I didn't have much hope before buying this player and my hunch turned out to be true. Before buying this, I wanted to get some information on the functionality. The crappy manual on the Pyle website turned out to be of no use, so I sent a mail to their support address and didn't get any reply. Then, I sent another mail to all the addresses that I could find on their website and one guy replied and told me someone will send me more information, which never arrived. Thus, I got a fair idea about the product support, but I still went ahead and bought it because it seemed to be feature-rich and price seemed right.

The product works fine. Installation was easy. The audio quality is great (that is the only unexpectedly good part about the whole product). I have tried DVD, CD, SD card, USB and FM radio. They all "work". There end the good things about it. Here are the cons:-

1.While playing a DVD, the screen displays a warning "For your own safety, do not watch video while driving". I can hear the audio and see the video in the background when I go into setup screen, but it is the warning that is permanently on the screen and I can't find any way to get rid of it.

2.While playing songs from SD/USB, the display is horrible. There is no way to change the text size or color. It is almost impossible to read the dull blue display. I even see some Chinese letters on the screen :-)

3.Now Bluetooth: I was able to pair my phone with the unit, but if I get an incoming call while listening to music, it doesn't automatically switch to phone mode. I have to go into the Bluetooth screen and answer it there. What is the point of Bluetooth? It is much easier to attend the call on the phone. To make it worse, I have already come across a couple of situations where my phone wouldn't see the unit.

4.There is no easy way to dim the screen without going to the setup screen. It is very annoying in the night.

5.Pyle may be creating too many products and getting mixed up with the features, manual and firmware. Generally, the console, remote and the screens are very confusing.

6.Of course, the support is non-existent. I sent another e-mail to them requesting how to get around some of these things, but never heard a reply. And, I didn't expect one either. So, if you buy it, consider yourself on your own.

I decided to keep it just because I didn't want to go through the hassle of pulling it out and sending it back. But, if you are considering buying it, I would recommend you look elsewhere.
