Pros: usb device shuffle and track/artist search
Cons: usb slot would be better on the left side, wiring loom needs cable splice for audi
"for the money (even better with the on line order and collect in store) this cd /USB player has excellent sound and features. I really like the device shuffle to play any track on the usb stick and also the artist search on the usb.
I've fitted it into my A3 to replace the concert 2 and its far better.....but.....
the USB socket on the right hand side seems to have been designed for LHD cars - with a normal USB stick in, it hides the view of some buttons and I've caught it a few times reaching across for the volume knob.
The wiring loom needs changing for the audi - the supplied loom yellow lead has a double adaptor but not the red one (and for Audi you need to make the two wires feed from the red cable not yellow).
-Out of the box the RCA connectors are set for 'sub' and not 'rear' speakers and the menu option to change this only appears with the unit switched to just the clock. The audio output from the RCA (with a PCS5- 404 lead) is lower than the original concert feed hence the fader has to be set to -10 to the rear to get good front /back balance."

"Does what it says on the tin. Need a sub to make full use of the sound quality. Once installed easy setup easy controls, hassle free music.
Has a 7 band Eq which helps when wanting to fine tune the overall sound.
Overall a nice unit."

"Recently installed in my Honda Accord Exe 2002 to replace the original broken radio/CD player.
The USB port is brilliant. I use a 4GB USB stick with all my favourite songs (more than 1000). It even remembers where you stopped playing last time and starts from that point. Could also easily switch between radio, USB and CD.
Works Brilliantly. Quick and Easy fitting by the Halfords team.
Totally satisfied. Fully recommended."

Pros: good sound, easy install, nice design, usb socket
Cons: no sd card feature
"Purchased this for my birthday, to replace the stereo in my Scenic.
Comes with all the needed connectors, which is one of the miain reasons why i purchased it. I had it fitted in my car with 5 minutes.
Just pull the old one out and put the new one in.
Sound is good and variable, and wanted a USB socket for my tunes.
Looks good lit up and the track find feature is a good addition. But i can fast forward faster than the stereo, so will probably not use much.
All round good stereo for the price"
