Clarion NX501 7-Inch Single DIN Multimedia Control Station with Touch Panel Control, USB and Built-In-Navigation/Bluetooth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The NX501 has been installed now for three weeks. I'm using the GPS, HDTuner and External Mic. I also installed the Steering Wheel Controls and a SW Relay.
Installation took about 3 hours in my 2008 Tacoma. Configuration of the settings was very straight forward. I'm streaming Pandora from my BlackBerry and also have a USB drive in the glove box loaded with 4 GB of audio.
Bluetooth for both audio and phone are very clear and syncing is very simple. It was worth every penny even though I only budgeted $400 originally for the head unit.
Audio is clear, it switches between functions seamlessly and the touch screen is very functional. There are two issues that I'm working on: 1) Nav audio seems muted even though the audio setting is turned up all the way and 2) The head unit dimmer doesn't seem to integrate with my truck even though there is a wire for dimming...

(More customer reviews)Power Acoustik PTID-7000 Single DIN Nav Ready A/V Source Unit w/ Detachable Oversize Digital 7? TFT-LCD Touch Screen

I oringinally bought a Soundstorm playerSoundstorm SD960TS 7-Inch In-Dash DVD/MP3/DC Receiver with Motorized Flip-Out Touchscreen Monitor and it broke on me in 3 days. I RMA'd it and couldn't wait so I started looking for a replacement. I found this one and oh how happy am I that I was impatient. The picture quality was 100% better. Better resolution on the same size screen. The front removable face in VERY nice for security. It does everything that the Soundstorm didn't for me. And if I wanted to buy extra items, this player can have naigation easily added to it and a TV tuner. And for a $200 player you will be surprised. The Soundstorm seemed like a $200 player and the Power Acoustic feels like a $500 player, You will be happy with this one. 5 star A+ model!

TENQA SP-109 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for an affordable wireless speaker that allowed me to stream wireless music directly from my cell phone (Samsung Instinct) and found the Tenqa SP-109 Bluetooth Speaker. I could not be more pleased with this product! This product is exactly what I have been searching for in terms of mobility. It's easy to use, practical, and has a good sound. The device is simple and straightforward to setup & pair with devices each use. The speaker is about the size of a radio alarm clock and includes a DC-adapter power cord. Pairing the device with my cell phone was a cinch. After powering on the device it immediately registered on my phone, I clicked connect and was done. The best feature of this product, for me is the mobility I can have. I can connect and control the music from anywhere in my apartment, allowing me to move from room to room without the hassle of leaving my phone plugged into a stationary device. I was skeptical about finding an inexpensive bluetooth speaker that could provide quality sound but after using the Tenqa SP-109 for a few weeks my doubts are gone. The sound is great for its size and for the price. I recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an affordable, quality wireless speaker system. I plan to purchase one as a Xmas gift for my sister who likes to listen to music on her iPhone but hates the hassle of having to leave it connected to a docking station. This is a five-star product without a doubt!

Jabra SP700 Bluetooth Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really cool device.
I got one for my wife so she could answer and talk on the phone without looking for her headset and turning it on.
Product works as advertised, and in fact has a number of novel features.
The only "Con" is that it does not support a 2 phone household. It can only be paired to a single phone. It does not support multipoint or dual pairing like some other prodicts (the Jawbone headset). This means that to reconnect it to the secondary phone you must pair it again.
Other than that:
1) It's very loud. easy to hear
2) uses standard USB to charge
3) The FM feature allows you to listen to the caller through your car stereo
4) the caller ID of the caller is spoken to you and broadast on your radio using RDS (so you can see the text of the phone number). Very nead.
5) it announced when it has turned on, off, paired, enabled FM. It's fantastic to get this audible feedback so you know it's working.
I highly reccomned this to anyone who needs a speakerphone for their car. My only caveat is that if you plan to share a car with 2 people it's not so great unless one person only uses the SP700. I would have given it 5 stars if it supported dual pairing.

Mountek CD Slot Mount MT5000-C, Universal Hands Free Car Mount for Cell Phones, Satellite Radios & GPS Devices Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)[Updated information follows]
Now that I have owned this for 2 months and used it a lot, I would like to update my review. They say that if you invent a better mouse trap, the world will beat a path to your door. I hope that Mountek has as good a door as they have a mount! Even with a couple of small quibbles, this is still the best engineered solution I have come across. I use the word "engineered" instead of "designed" or something else, because it is apparent that this is the work of a talented engineering-type who has a good grasp of how items are used in the real world and the importance of build quality as well as fit and finish.
What are the quibbles? Well, as someone else mentioned, the screw which tightens the mount in the slot is a little noticeable. It is also the only piece of this device which was not perfect in fit and finish. Mine has a tiny little burr sticking out that digs into my finger when I tighten it. Not a big deal, but this device is so close to perfect any tiny thing like this which detracts from that sticks out.
Second, I have a HTC/T-Mobile myTouch 4G. The micro USB for the charger is just in the wrong place for this design and is blocked by the arms. I have to either reverse it in the holder (which then causes the headphone/aux jack to be blocked) or remove the bottom stop. I, personally, do not like to remove that because it is not as solid that way. Plus, if I do remove it, I still have to slide the phone down far enough that the clamps hit the volume buttons and can cause some problems occasionally.
Third, my preference would be to have a wider spread of the holder brackets so the phone could be grabbed at the top and bottom and I'd have the use of the side controls. Something would then have to be done about the headphone jack on the top of my phone. Maybe a different kind of bottom bracket with part of the sides cut out?
Even with these nitpicks, this is still so far and away a better product than anything else I have seen or tested that it still gets all 5 stars from me. Not much product out there that I'll say that about.
Bottom line: You should skip the rest and buy this one. You're going to end up throwing the others away anyway and getting this, eventually. So, why not just start at the top and be done with it? Plus, at $19.95, it is a real bargain that will last a long time. -- 03/13/11
[Original review follows]
I will try to be as concise as possible, as I plan to do a longer, more in-depth review on my website soon.
I have been looking for something to mount my smartphone in the car for a couple of months now. I tried models by Bracketron and Scosche, as well as some less-known brands.
Simply put, for most people's needs, this product not only does the job better, but is so well thought out and engineered that I sincerely hope the developer gets his patent, 'cause everyone else will try to copy this.
It's so simple. You just find a place to slide it in (like the slot on your CD player or one on your console); tighten a thumbscrew to secure it; and slip your device into the holder. It can lock on there nice and solid too.
Oh, and the build quality is excellent too. The others (which seemed OK at the time) look like cheap toys compared with this one. It is solid and gives you confidence that it is not going to break or be damaged while using it.
What more could you want in any kind of product?
The others are all going back now.

Shopping for a reliable, high-quality mount for your mobile device? The revolutionary MOUNTEK MT5000 solution will hold virtually any small portable gadget, such as cellular phones, GPS receivers, satellite radio players and more! PATENT PENDING DESIGN. It uses NO SUCTION CUPS, NO CLIPS, NO SCREWS, and it requires NO TOOLS. Best part, it won't obstruct your view of the road. This one installs directly into your CD player slot or in between the grooves of your dash. FAQs: My charge port is located on the side of my phone. Will this allow for me to charge it at the same time? Absolutely. Simply detach the support bar located at the bottom of the cradle, and you can easily mount your phone with the charge port exposed. Will the blade fit into a cassette tape slot? Unfortunately not, but we do have an adapter in development. Will the blade activate the CD's auto loader? Although all CD players are made differently, the plastic blade is not long enough to activate the auto loading function. It is now against the law to hold your phone while driving. With the MT5000, you can use your device hands free and promote a safer highway.

JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this unit to replace a Kenwood KDC-MP425 which served me well, but ultimately stopped ejecting CD's. Anyway while this one doesn't have the flashy graphics of the Kenwood unit it certainly outperforms it in function.
This unit let's you fast forward and rewind through MP3 CD's quickly. ID3 tags are read and the Aux input will be useful for when my friends with Ipods. Sound quality is very good, however I did not realize until installing that this unit only has one set of RCA outputs if you're going to hook it up to a four channel amp. The remote is a nice little bonus, as I had to buy my last one separately.
It was this or a unit with GPS built in for $200 more. I'm glad I went with this one and held onto my money during these tough economic times.

Soundstream VIR7870NRB 7-Inch Flip Up TFT-LCD Receiver (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm in love with this multimedia headunit! I can do everything on this thing! GPS, Live TV, Bluetooth, Media Streaming via Bluetooth, Play DVD,s-etc! One thing I find great is you can set a background on the display. Has so many inputs and outputs. I have my whole system amplified via Front, Rear, and Sub amps, so I can't say how the sound quality through the built-in amp is. I may add a video review later, because there are SO many things this head unit does! I HIGHLY recommend this unit!

SONY MEX-5DI CD Receiver for Car Stereo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let's start by getting the obvious out of the way. This cd player is gorgeous. From the chrome face and lcd screen, to the amount of features the Mex-5di offers, it's quite an amazing head unit. Cd/mp3 playback quality is great, but keep in mind that the Mex-5di has no built-in amplification, so for good sound quality you'll also need good aftermarket amplifiers.

The motorized cd tray is a nice touch, and coupled with Sony's G-protection, you'll never hear another distracting "chirp" of the cd skipping when you drive through a pothole.

Also nice is the ability to personalize your cd player with pictures and short movie clips. Sizing the movie clips for playback takes some work however, as the image cannot be over 64x64 bytes and cannot be more than 10 frames long. The Mex-5di is more flexible with still pictures, and will automatically size pictures to fit the display.

Most important to keep in mind is the fact that the short movie clips and slideshows will play back WHILE DRIVING, and it is completely legal for it to do so.

I do however have one complaint about this cd player, and that is the lack of a detachable face. For one, anyone who sees you drive by will most likely see your bright expensive cd player shining back at them. Sony did come up with an alternative method to deter theft, but without giving away what it is... let's just say it won't work, and without an alarm system on your car you'll spend a lot of time worrying about the safety of your cd player.

Also, I live in New England and in the winter the temperature in the car will often times drop below freezing. Without a detachable faceplate, the liquid crystal display is subject to the elements and it will freeze. This won't be a problem unless you turn the unit on while the temperature in the car is below freezing. When the Mex-5di's display turns on while the crystals are frozen, the rapid heating will cause the crystals to expand and crack, ruining the display. So remember to keep the unit off for a good 10 minutes while the car is warming up.
All in all, the Mex-5di is a top-notch cd player. If Sony came out with this same model tomorrow with a detach face, I would sell my Mex-5di and buy the new model. But as of right now, this cd player is hands-down the best on the market.

Sony welcomes you to a world of color with this in-dash receiver. This CD player has a 32,000-color Thin Film Transistor (TFT) LCD screen that you can customize to show digital photos and animations. You can also show panoramic photos, pre-loaded pictures, or full-motion screen savers. It has the G-ProtectionM-^Y motorized tray mechanism, which drastically reduces CD skipping, and even features a Memory Stick« media slot so you can show off your pictures and bring your MP3 music along for the ride.

Pioneer In-Dash Navigation A/V Receiver with CD Player and Built-In Bluetooth (Model# AVIC-F7010BT) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Verrry disappointing purchase.
The unit boots slowly, so no music, GPS or video for some number of minutes! This is after the latest SW upgrade that supposedly fixes this problem, I can't imagine earlier versions.
The display is not visible in sunlight and/or with polarized lenses. (Does anyone at Pioneer test this junk?)
The GPS can only be programmed after the car is started and while the car is in park and the e-brake is on! I guess passengers manipulating the nav system is a rare thing.
The USB memory stick must be unplugged and re-installed after the car is started to access the contents!
The volume/main control knob is very difficult to grip and operate, what were they thinking? (They were probably thinking everyone has small fingers)
The user interface is not consistent. The positions of the same functions move around from display to display for no good reason.
The bling noise cannot be turned off for the steering wheel controls. Come on guys, this unit is computer based, there's no reason for this type of inflexibility.
If the devil is in the details this unit is, unfortunately, be-deviled!!! In my opinion, this system was slapped together with little thought for the customer by people that do not understand or care how a nav a/v system should perform.
I am certain there are better units out there for this price point. If I were seeking an in dash nav a/v unit, I would keep looking for some other Manufacturers comparable system.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have had this radio before and think it is a great product. BUT, Jenson needs a lot of help in the written installation instructions area. For a seasoned technician, probably no problem. BUT, for the average person attempting the installation themselves, WOW...........I had to write for technical help three different times just to get the wiring done. AND, the directions were so small I was just barely able to read the wiring diagrams even with a large magnifying glass.

(More customer reviews)I ordered this item from Amazon. Once I had it professionally installed I was informed that it was a faulty radio because my Drivers side tweeter wouldn't work with it but would with other tested radios. I informed Amazon and they overnighted another radio to me and once it was installed I was very impressed. Looks great in a car with a double din. Plays DVD flawlessly! Touch screen is very responsive and many options etc!! My speakers are much louder and more clear now with this unit.

Jensen HD5112 HD Radio/CD/MP3/WMA/USB/SD Card/iPod Receiver with Detachable Faceplate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The radio installed easily (they all do) but after enjoying the HD radio for a day, I inserted a USB flash drive to listen to my MP3s and got a "USB ERR". So I got an SD card and tried the same thing (the SD capabilities were the reason I bought it) and got an "SD ERR". So the next day I burned a CD of MP3s to get me by until I returned the radio for a refund, and of course I got a "CD ERR" when I inserted the CD.
I called tech support (I didnt realize Jensen and Audiovox were the same company...wish I had) and he sounded surprised, then said to get a refund. In the little bit of research I did I found some good reviews, but after my troubles I did some more and found I wasn't the only one whose radio worked, but nothing else.
I know Jensen is low-end stuff but I was hoping for at least a year or 2 of working features. Not even a day.
Pros: The radio sounded fine. It looks nice, not that that is worth anything.
Cons: Aside from the fact that most of the radio didn't even function, the remote is weak and has the bubble buttons, not solid switches. The sticker that says "warranty void if removed" automatically gets scraped right off when removing the mount for installation, and more so when the radio is slid into the mount for the first time (saw other complaints of this online). Faceplate is not always easy to replace when removed, which you have to do when using SD slot. Trim ring kept falling to the floor. And on and on...
What's sad is that SD capabilities only seem to be available in low-end product like Jensen/Audiovox, VR/Roadmaster, etc. At least according to the local big box stores.
Refunded today... looking for something else.

Motorola MOTOROKR EQ7 Bluetooth Portable Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The speaker sounds great for its size. It is the size of a discman.I use rechargeable batteries, and take it camping. It saves the space of a big boombox and a book of cds.My kitchen must be 20x16 ft. and the sound is enough to make you have to yell over it to hear someone, w/o hearing any major distortion.Pretty good bass for a little speaker as well.Easily paired to my cell phone with 350 plus songs, makes it a good purchase for me.

Boss 765DBI In-Dash Solid State MP3 Receiver with Internal iPod Docking Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As described on the website, this receiver looked perfect for my needs: built in bluetooth compatible with my iPhone, and a hidden iPod connection, which means no ugly wires dangling from the front of my dashboard to hook up my tunes. iPod is controllable from the front panel -- also what I wanted. Great that it had a radio, but I like to listen to the iPod and make/receive phone calls; no need for a CD player (which this unit does not have).
Unfortunately, the iPod interface is really pretty awful. I have hundreds of albums on my iPod, and there is no way to search through them other than alphabetically, and that requires turning the knob on the front of the unit. No acceleration to get you there faster. Can't search by composer, (although you can search by playlist, genre, artist, album or song) which would have been nice as I am a classical music fan. The WORST feature, however, is that the unit drops the first second of every track as it starts playing, which is totally unacceptable. I've packaged it back up and am returning it.
Oh, and the display is unbelievably coarse-- looks like maybe 100 pixels on the whole thing; the result is blocky letters reminiscent of early 80's electronics. Not worthy of the $150 pricetag.
