A really quality product.
|
I got one of these for my own 1991 Honda Accord after having too many difficulties with the in-dash factory cassette player. I actually didn't mind having the older set, but there was some loose connection that caused the speakers to cut in and out, and I didn't have the tools to repair it, so I decided I might as well replace it with something.
I also have a sirius radio on my windscreen. Previously I was using it to broadcast via FM to my car radio, but that was a royal pain whenever I drove into Chicago and there was noise on every frequency. The line-in port in the front was a real strong selling point. The radio can tune sirius directly, but I need to buy other parts, have them installed, and then I only get the one-line display.
Having something to minimise the bling factor was also important. I think that flashy garbage on cars is in really poor taste. This radio has the advantage of being highly functional, but not showing it off. I did thing that the remote controller was a bit frivolous, as it's easier to reach for my dashboard then for a remote dangling off my keychain, but I won't complain.
This actually gives really good sound on my old 1991 factory speakers. It can certainly output a lot more then they can handle. Also it's nice not to have a CD player sitting on my passenger seat with wires dangling up to the cassette adapter. It certainly skips much less then what I had.
In theory, the feature to quiet the radio momentarily by hitting the controller is a nice idea, but I find it just as easy to give it a quick twist to the left.
Only complaints:
I would like a pause button on the CD player. The only way of really pausing the thing is to hit the source button and momentarily switch the input to the radio or something.
Also the buttons to skip forward and backward are a bit small and take some getting used to. I would have preferred something slightly bigger that is easier to reach for while driving.
