It looks good and is so simple and easy to use! I have no idea why people say the interface is bad enough and it takes a ton of clicks to get anywhere. Maybe they have their way? It takes me no more than 5-10 seconds to make adjustments. I also find the volume very easy to navigate. They do not happen in the menu by adjusting the volume. You certainly try to enter the menus. The flip access to the CD is great - it keeps it clean and lasts longer. The colors are great and the removable front panel holds the radio stolen. Sound clarity is amazing too. The USB port is great. I plug my iPod with the cable supplied with it (which you use to connect to your computer). It loads and I can check the songs from my radio! No sense to pay for the extra cable PLUS cable to charge because you can all via USB that came with the iPod and am happy with my choice to do! I would recommend this radio and would definitely buy again. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. by michael beautiful friend I have purchased and installed at a local big box electronics store. I found it in the correct range for simplicity. Some radios have dual wheels, onboard Bluetooth and HD radio is included. It is not known. But the front USB port is simple and useful for me right now. I can upload flash drive and take your music with me soon. I have not "tested my creative player yet, but I hope it works well. The appearance of it is a bit less elegant than some of the pioneers and the Alps. The steering wheel feels OK, get me wrong, but if you, it's not the expensive feel. You know how just a few buttons at the same time perfect and face feel tight and I like how my light is blue and green. I am using green as I'm tired of blue now. the buttons are very simple, the LCD is not full of LCD pixels, the class can see the limits of the same, while some radios that can play full-motion video, since it is not closed in places. Detection was super fast USB. That's amazing. The sound is clear. The radio is good. I thought that if you want to upgrade later, then adds HD will be cheaper in a couple of years and can always get added bluetooth, or do it through a Garmin navigation or something. There are many head units over USB. This, the former Sony (610) and a kenwood were few. Kenwood USB has a plastic cover that looks very cheap. This is the prettiest. The rest has power rear USB on the back in the ashtray or glove compartment. I do not like it, I wanted to be easy. And I think this new model a much better browsing songs 25 of 28 people found this review helpful. With great Radio OK Pat, I do not listen to music. Listening to books on disk / tape. I bought this radio so I could copy the book on a USB drive and listen on the go. Of course it is very important that the order of the songs are the same as they were on the USB drive disk. Well, it does not. I continued to copy it and try to copy it and try it, and the streets always seemed to be in a random order. No, I do not shuffle. I'm a little computer geek, so it just made me mad. Ultimately, I googled the problem. It does not matter what order you to copy the strokes (files) on the USB drive, they're actually in a particular order based on the internal FAT table. When you look at the tracks (files) on the USB drive while the USB drive is still connected to your PC, you can sort the order you see them, but you really are the sort of tracks (files) on the USB, only the way in which are presented to the user for display I've also found that "most of the cheap MP3 players" do not have.
