Cowan AQ5CR GPS Cradle for Q5W Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The bulky size of this Cowon cradle justifies the convenient user friendly features right at your finger tips. I like the easy access buttons and audio control. The suction-cup mount means business once to place this baby on your windshield.
Just to add a cautionary note: In cold weather the cradle does not stick to the windshield-I guess the condensation from a heated car and then the cold makes for a hazardous situation for both driver and the COWON rig if it fall off. (It has fallen off twice in just the past 2 days!)

Valor Multimedia DTS-660W Nav Ready Double Din AM/FM/CD/DVD with 6.5-Inch Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just installed this in my 2005 Tacoma. Installed nicely, although I did have a problem getting the plastic filler from the Scosche dash kit to fit around the deck. I had to cut out some of the plastic with a razor, but it looks nice!
Touch controls are pretty responsive. Very intuitive design GUI. I really didn't need the manual to figure anything out, and this is my first touchscreen system. The EQ settings were a little hard to find. I still don't know how to get to them without using the remote.
Sounds quality is great! This brought life into the stock speakers! I don't even have the upgraded JBL sound, and it sounds really nice. Plenty of power for stock system. The bass nearly sounds like I installed a small sub.
Bluetooth functionality works ok with my phone. In order to pair, I had to initiate from the phone. Not sure if there's a way to search for a device from the Valor. I have a Samsung A920 with Sprint, which isn't on the list that comes with the system, but everything works, except for the phonebook. Well, it will see and import some kind of list, but the names aren't there, just a "-" inplace of the letters. So it will have the right amount of dashes for the letters of a name, but no letters. So caller-id only lists the number, not the name. This is one reason I can't give it 5 stars. The firmware is flashable via cd, so maybe there will be an update for more compatibility for phones. As far as talking on it, it works great. Very clear, and the person at the other end said they can hear me well. It pauses the cd\dvd or fades out the tuner and an alert pops up on the screen of a call. There's an option to transfer the audio back to your phone if the call needs to be private.
DVD playback worked really well. I was surprised how clear the picture looked for such an inexpensive device. Especially since the gui looks kind of grainy. Not so for video playback. Navigation is easy. Tap the right or left side of the screen to go forward or back a chapter. tap the bottom middle for navigation controls. Top right for menus. Very cool. Sound quality for the movie was great, even though I don't have 5.1 surround in my truck, although the Valor can handle that.
Ipod function is nice, but lacks a bit. You can browse by artist, genre, song, album... which is pretty standard for ipod browsing. There's also a number pad that you can bring up to browse directly to an artist (if you know what number they are on your ipod). You can use this to get to the middle of your list, instead of having to scroll through hundreds of artists or songs. Browsing was a little weird because as I was scrolling, I noticed that it would switch over to the track view of the album I was currently listening to, which was a pain because I had to start back at the top of the artist list. The only other problem I found, which I guess isn't really a problem, but a feature I would like, is album artwork. In fact, the whole gui is lacking a little since there doesn't seem to be any way to personalize the screen (background, screensaver, artwork, led colors). I've only had this for a day, so I could be wrong, but at least there wasn't an easy way to do this.. that I found.
I have yet to use the SD reader or SAT function, but I will. Just a quick review for now.

Scosche Bfha Bluefusion Interface Module For Factory Hands-Free (Honda) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm rocking the BFHA in a 2007 Honda Civic Si, and for a phone, the iPhone 4. As an interface for making and receiving calls, it works really really well. The calls are clear and nobody has any problem hearing me. Using the radio buttons to initiate the calls is somewhat confusing, but using the phone itself, it couldn't be easier.
One of the big reasons I got this particular bluetooth unit was to also be able to play music from the phone through the stereo wirelessly. This also works pretty well. it's even possible to advance through tracks using the steering wheel controls, which is really cool. So, for example, I can be driving down the highway streaming Pandora, and skip a song I don't like. That's really neat.
My one complaint (so far) is that the gain on the a2dp seems to be too high. What I mean by this is that the music comes on really loud in comparison to other sources. Which isn't that big of a deal in and of itself, but this also seems to result in the highs being somewhat "blown out" and crackly. Even if I turn down the volume of the phone, when the volume of the headunit is turned up to get to the same volume, some songs seem to have this problem. I've used this phone with a2dp bluetooth headunits from Pioneer and Sony and do not have this problem.
All that said, I haven't spent very much time troubleshooting the problem and I hope to find a remedy with a little work. I had a minor snafu with the install (my mic ended up being defective), but to my pleasant surprise Scosche representatives are easy to reach, even on Saturdays. I'm hoping they might have some thoughts on this gain/volume issue.

Boss Audio Systems BV9455 In-Dash Double-DIN DVD/MP3/CD AM/FM Receiver with 7 inch Widescreen Touchscreen TFT Monitor with USB Port and SD Memory Card Ports Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have always liked Boss audio systems for one single thing: the sound, i have this guy working with a SoundStorm 1000Wx4Ch Amp, a Pioneer 800W Sub and two Blaupunkt 500W speakers and so far this is the one that has given me the best sound (before i had a Pioneer and a Sony Xplod).
The DBAS mode is awesome, i don't know how they did that, but after enabling the DBAS mode you won't be able to live without it.
OK, there is something Boss players have always sucked at: User Interface, the UI of this guy isn't a exception, it's tricky, hard to understand and awfully minimalistic.If the people of Boss would take some more care in designing better UIs for their systems they would definitely rock...
Pros: very good sound, nice antishock system, supports lots of media formats (mp3,wma,cda,dvd,vcd,avi,mpg,divx), screen is bright and very durable, swiveling screen can be adjusted to several angles, reverse camera mode...
Cons: Crappy UI and some minor glitches, remote control is confusing, some settings can only be accesed from remote, has trouble with some old MP3s (very rare, but happens).
In general i think this is a very nice system for such a price, if you want some fancy UI then buy Pioneer or Sony, but be prepared to pay for it.
NOTE: The description clearly states that this is a DOUBLE DIN sized device, so it needs about double the space of a common car radio, the screen is always visible, isn't one of these arrangements that get the screen hidden magically when you turn off the thing... warned you are, don't come crying when you discover that it can't be fitted into your SINGLE DIN dashboard.

Mio C320 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for $150 on black friday. while it does have a few minor faults, for the money it is probably the best GPS out there. the main thing this unit has going for it is how customaziable it is. in the past month, i have changed the following on my unit:
- added text to speech ( a feature normally found on the more expensive 520 version)
- added newer maps with 6 million POI (again, found on the more expensive unit vs. the 1.5 million found out of the box)
- edited the skin of the navigations screen and changed/removed buttons for ease of use
these and other features, such as an optional video player, and many other custom features, can easily be found on google and several gps forums.
obviously, customzing the unit to this extent is not for everyone, and if you are not technically inclined, you might not get the full value out of your c320. however, if you have a decent grasp of computers and software in general , you should take advantage of this great gps - great out of the box, EVEN better once you get to work with it for a few weeks.
--
Update: 5/29
Ok so it's been about 6 months since I got this GPS. In that time, I've downloaded newer maps (now have 12 million POI's), downloaded a custom skin that adds a ton of usability features (easy access to applications like word doc, video player, etc) as well as improving the overall looks, and done some fine tweaking on the settings to improve the TTS. (The applications can only be accessed through a hack, by the way).
However, in adding all these features (most of these were intended for the more expensive C520), my GPS unit started to operate alot more sluggishly. The map would take a few seconds to update after turns, which was unacceptable. There was a noticeable lag between button presses and responses. Like I said, this was probably because all these added features were never meant to be run on the processor of the C320.
I wound up removing all the extra features I added, but I still have text to speech and the newer maps. I also defragged the drive , which helped alot. The lag is very minor but still noticeable. I'd still recommend this unit if you can get it for cheap, as it's better than almost any other sub $150 unit out there.

Pioneer AVH-P5000DVD 1 Din DVD Multimedia AV Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great head unit! I bought this to replace an Eclipse AV8132 that recently got destroyed. This unit is much more intuitive and easy to use, far more versatile with the number of inputs and seems to be a much higher quality product to boot. Everything is set up to be as easy to use as possible. Flash memory and iPod control are plug-and-play. It simply couldn't be any easier! The only reason this got 4 stars rather than 5 is because it only has 2 sets of outputs. One more pair and this unit would be perfect!

Clarion VZ300 3.5" In-Dash DVD/CD/MP3/USB Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The two main features I use in the car work great: the radio and the AUX in line (for streaming Pandora from my phone). I haven't had a chance to try out the USB input yet, but I did try the DVD functionality and it works great too, although it does require the use of the remote for navigation. Here are my thoughts so far:
PROS
* Great sound
* Easy changing of audio settings
* Nice large display for displaying radio settings while playing the radio
* DIM function cycles through three settings great for day, night, and off
* Installation instructions were easy enough for me to follow
* Detailed instruction on how to connect hand brake wire (although the kit doesn't appear to include the right sensor)
* Lots of audio options: AUX in and DVD worked without any problems
* UPDATE: USB music plays fast with little delay
* UPDATE: USB music picks up right where it left off when you turn power on
CONS
* Lots of wires which make for a difficult installation into a standard stereo space
* DVD control requires use of the remote
* Display does nothing when in AUX mode (a screensaver or something would have been nice, not sure if that's legal though)
* UPDATE: Turning on power button in the dark is a guess game
* UPDATE: Navigation of USB music using remote is not intuitive (i.e. I have to read the manual)
* UPDATE: Received a USB Bad after leaving stereo off overnight
The installation for me went pretty smoothly. As mentioned above, the plethera of wires made sliding the stereo into place a pain. In order to get it to work, I had to pull out the DIN below the stereo and guide the wires down into the space below. Overall, I thought the installation instructions were good. They had the three most important items which are a step to remind you to disconnect the negative from the car battery, a diagram of the overall way the stereo is installed into a dash, and a wiring diagram. With those three I was able to do a standard installation (i.e. four speakers and the radio antenna) without any issues. By the way, this stereo was the first stereo I've ever installed.
By the way, another reviewer mentioned the audio would stop when they went into the settings. That may be true for USB audio or CD/DVD playback, but for radio and AUX in, the audio kept playing no matter what I did unless I hit the power button to mute.
UPDATE: USB functionality works great. You plug in a drive and it starts at the first song it finds. When you turn the power off and back on, it picks right up at the last part of the song you were listening to when powering off the stereo. I did receive a USB Bad error when turning the car on this morning, unplugging and replugging the USB in fixed the issue and it picked up at the last song it was playing. I haven't figured out all the details on navigating through the songs just yet, but with the remote it looks like you can search via artist, album, song title, etc. As the driver though, I'm expecting I won't be able to do much better than using the forward and reverse buttons (and the preview seek button) to navigate the music. Because of that, I grabbed some old 512 MB and 1 GB drives which I'm putting together different "mixes" that I can update at will and plug in as my mood changes.
