So far I have been very happy with this unit. I am not much of an audiophile so I won't review the sound quality other than to say that it meets my needs. It plays my music in my car and I'm satisfied with the sound.

I find the ipod controls to be logical and easy. You get basic control of the ipod, being able to scroll through artists, songs, albums, playlists, podcasts and genres using the volume knob the same way you would the click wheel. I haven't had any difficulty with it. There are other units that have better interaction with the ipod but they cost twice as much. Besides I would hope most people wouldn't be dinking around that much with their stereo while they are driving. The charging feature is excellent since I purchased this stereo I have never had my ipod die on me.

One slightly annoying thing regarding the browsing controls when you are using the ipod directly you can back up to the screen for the album, then back to the artist and so forth, basically the reverse of the route you took to get to whatever you are listening to. This is helpful is you just want to see the track listing or switch to another album by the same artist whatever. With the stereo, you always start from scratch at the home screen so at times it can be a touch tedious.

So far I have been happy with radio reception mostly listening to AM.

A few more small complaints sometimes the stereo will turn on automatically when I plug in the ipod and just start playing. Not a big deal though I just try and make a point of making sure the volume is turned down low when I turn it off. I wish it had come with a carrying case for the faceplate but these can be obtained for ten dollars or less. The faceplate itself is kind of difficult to put back on to the stereo I wish they had designed that aspect to be a little bit easier.

If any of you are audiobook listeners I have encountered this strange occurrence. If anyone is an Audible member you are familiar with the extremely helpful resume feature that takes you right back to the place in the book you left off. I have found that if I listen to an audiobook while hooked up via the USB port something about how the stereo is interacting with the ipod makes the audiobook reset and forgets my place. If I use the external audio in jack instead of the USB port, this is not an issue.

I received this on a Thursday and installed it with no problems on Saturday. I have been enjoying my new stereo all weekend. I decided to just keep a USB stick in there and not muck around with my iPhone since it does cause some interference with the radio that is annoying. One thing that I didn't realize is that this does not have a CD player. This is fine for me but might be a surprise if you click through too quickly, like I did :)
