I purchased this to replace the stock radio in my 2006 F150 4x4. I read the reviews here and elsewhere and was a little bit concerned about the interface in regards to it being non-intuitive and the knob flimsy. I disagree on both counts. The interface is very intuitive once you learn it, and the knob is by no means flimsy. Also, there were comments regarding the lack of presets - this is not a problem at all - when the radio is in tuner mode one only needs to push up or down on the knob to advance to the next preset. There was another complaint regarding the clock - all I can say to that is, read the manual!

My stock radio had very good AM reception but poor FM reception. I was afraid I would lose good AM reception with the new radio, but the AM reception is just as good if not better.

I use this radio with my iPod Touch 2nd generation and again, no complaints. I am a mild audiophile and the output sounds very clean to me in all modes.

I do agree that there should be a mute or pause button on the radio itself in case the remote is not handy. Other than that, this is a great product for the price.

Belkin F8M026 TuneBase FM Transmitter for Zune Review

Belkin F8M026 TuneBase FM Transmitter for Zune
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the second Belkin transmitter I've used. My older car had a tape player, so I was able to use the cassette adaptor with my mp3 player and that sounded wonderful.My new car only had a cd player and no easy way to listen to all my music.

These transmitters are absolutely horrible. You can get sound, but it's definitely not crispy clear sound and it sounds like your old analog tapes or your old transistor radio that lost its antenna.

So, here's my advice: after wasting a bunch of money on two transmitters in addition to portable speakers that also sounded terrible, I finally went to Circuit City and bought a new stereo for only $79 (including installation) that had an auxiliary jack.Now, I can use a cable and plug my mp3 player right into the auxiliary jack and have clear, static-free music!

I highly suggest you don't waste your money on this transmitter or any other one.If your speakers are already good, you just need a new stereo with an auxiliary jack. It will make listening to your player an absolute pleasure.With the transmitter, I evenhated to start the player, since I knew I'd have to play around with the transmitter to even hear just a little bit. The new stereo has made everything so much easier!

TomTom FM Transmitter Mount for the Go 510, 710, 910 Review

TomTom FM Transmitter Mount for the Go 510, 710, 910
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The hook up is as simple as it gets, just plug & play.The mount is the second-generation style that doesn't droop (at least for me).The transmitter leaves a lot to be desired.I bought this primarily to load up the extra 10+gb on my 910 with music and listen through the car stereo.Unfortunately, the transmitter is rather weak, and I have difficulty getting clear reception in any of my vehicles without some static.However, the tuner frequency is completely adjustable, so although I have tried about a dozen different settings there may be a "magic" one out there which will ultimately give me clear reception.I have 3 other modulators, and the TomTom device doesn't match their performance.It is also necessary to use a pretty high volume on the radio to hear the transmission when listening to music, and it doesn't sound as good as a CD or even standard FM broadcsts, but is about as good as you can expect from an FM modulator.Using the power cord helps transmission a lot, and is recommended by the manufacturer.Overall, excellent integrated design and a good product, but performance issues preclude an excellent rating.

EDIT - DON'T BUY:This thing has turned out to be a piece of plastic trash - mount is broken and the transmitter doesn't work any more.Only used it about 4 times.TomTom customer service is like banging my head against the wall - it felt a lot better after I finally gave up.Don't buy this item.Too bad I can't edit/revise my rating, I'd give it one star.

Terk SIRMINI SIRIUS Satellite Radio Roof Mount Antenna Review

Terk SIRMINI SIRIUS Satellite Radio Roof Mount Antenna
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This antenna worked perfectly for me for exactly 30 days.At that point, I kept getting "Antenna Not Detected" messages on every receiver I tried.When I examined the plug that connects to the receiver, I noticed that a tiny cylinder of metal inside the plug had fallen out.It's gone, now, and without that piece to make contact, the antenna is useless.

Be VERY careful when connecting or disconnecting this antenna from a receiver, as this piece is VERY easy to break, and you will be left with a useless piece of equipment.

While it WAS functioning, however, it performed its job quite nicely.

JVC KD-AVX44 El Kameleon Vehicle Multimedia Receiver w/ 3.5" Monitor Review

JVC KD-AVX44 El Kameleon Vehicle Multimedia Receiver w/ 3.5' Monitor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was searching around trying to find something that I could use as my central "media" center without having to install a mac mini in my Pt Cruiser.

My needs were/are: Ipod integration (including video playback), Dvd Playback, CDs, Bluetooth and of course am/fm.After a long hard search of single-din units I choose this model.

[...]

What I liked about this unit is you have a video out. You can hook up your headrest monitors and if you have a game system (Xbox, PS, Wii...what have you) you can hook it up to the video in that it has to offer as well (with full playback to your headrests). This just allows you to have direct connection to your cars speakers.

Dvd Playback. It is very good. Turn the car off,it'll start right back up where it left off.

Bluetooth. My boyfriend has a Pioneer DEH-P9800BT which I installed as well (A great unit if you don't require Dvd play back). Unlike the pioneer unit there is no mic to install anywhere and the quality still sounds pretty good on both ends. Doesn't matter what source you are using Bluetooth will alert you when someone is calling by pausing your music/video and showing the caller Id. You can accept or decline.

AM/FM. I was a bit disappointed that the unit didn't have RDS. I have been using a factory unit that had it and kind of miss that feature. Seemed like a feature they could have added.

Ipod. Heres where I am on the fence. I had been using a fm transmitter for my ipod and finally wanted direct connect because I could not take the quality anymore. I purchased an Apple Composite AV Cable (THIS WORKS JUST AS GOOD AS A JVC KSU20 CABLE)Of course, The quality was 300% better than before.However, The Interface is a bit slow. I really hope that JVC comes out with a firmware upgrade that speeds it up a bit. When I go to play "The Killers" it takes me approx. 1 minute to get to the letter "K". But for the most part I keep it on shuffle. The unit charges the Ipod as well.

Ipod Video. This is a cool feature. With either the JVC KSU20 or the Ipod Composite AV cable. You can watch any video off your ipod and direct the signal to the headrest monitors as well.

Pros: Great Bluetooth, DVD, Ipod Video integration with a sleek (no button look). Love the 4 setting tilt screen (great for stereo units closer to the ground)And Love the Proximity motion light as well.

Cons: For a single din unit JVC did a decent job, Ipod interface is really my only complaint.I had looked at the JVC KD NX5000. But didn't like the look of the unit or felt the need for crappy navagation. The menu interface feels like it should be more user friendly (getting to the ipod artists list has to be done by hitting about 5 buttons)

I have not used satellite or the back-up camera (which I plan to install soon).

[...]

Good luck and have fun with this great little unit.*UPDATE*

A few new things.

Satellite Radio - Bought the Sirius Adapter through ebay. Though it's not as fast as a stand-alone unit, It sounds great and it's nice to have it integrated into the radio.

Iphone Compatibility - I was a little disappointed to see that, unfortunately, the Iphone does not seem to be compatible with the unit. Maybe with either an update from Apple or JVC this will change in the future. For now, I use my usable Ipod touch just as a music jukebox in the car and Iphone for everything else (gym, work, etc...). It's actually not a bad setup.

HD Radio - Buying the HD Adapter fixed my RDS problem. Any stations that send out artist info is now displayed. Without excellent reception, those extra HD stations are hit or miss. It's a nice feature to have. Quality can be exceptional at times.

I will keep those interested up-to-date if I come across any new info on the unit.

Have Fun,
Mary

I recently installed a KW-NX7000 in my Honda Civic.Overall it is a pretty good system but it does not really break any new ground either.This is not my 1st GPS, I have installed a Kenwood DNX5120 in my other vehicle and a factory VW Navi in another.I also have various portables from Garmin, Magellan, TomTom, Dash, etc.I will primarlily make comparisons to the Kenwood, the VW system is not worth discussing!

Interface.One big plus I will give to the KW-NX7000 is the interface.It looks good, is intuitive, and is easy to use. Kenwood has good Navi menus (all Garmin) but the rest of the interface is a mess and often requires you to refer back to the manual. With the JVC the manual is really not needed, the whole system is very intuitive.

The navigation itself works very well.It locks signal quickly and presents routes that usually make sense.The database of POI's seems reasonably complete.You do have options for fastest time / shortest distance in both preferences and on a per trip basis.

I am not especially impressed with how the KW-NX7000 displays maps.They are easy to read but kind of dull, often times you are just seeing lines on a white background.Unfortunately, there is no option to show more or less detail.Thus, unless you are zoomed way in to about 600 feet, you do not even see road names, town names, etc., just lines.The 3D view was even more dissapointing as it shows even less detail unless you are in one of the few major metropolitan areas where 3d renditions are presented.I have yet to see it present anything nearly as interesting as the photo on the box!My 10 year old says that my other units maps look more "modern".Although I tend to think Garmins maps look a bit cartoonish, I still prefer them to the blandness of JVC's.I will give JVC the edge in how they present things like speed limits, lane guidance, and other details when you are doing a routed trip.If you are only displaying the map all you get is the map and the time.

The JVC has a feature that menus appear and buttons light up when you hand gets near the screen.This is a nice feature and sensitivity can be adjusted.You can change the screen colors but not the button light colors as you can on the Kenwood or Pioneer units.No big deal but if every other button on your car is red, these will be blue.

Boo-hiss to JVC for not including RDS on FM.This means that the unit does not display the song, artist, or station information.Kenwood does provide this feature.JVC has it for HD Radio only.

I installed the JVC bluetooth module and this works great with my blackberry.Given the price differential between the Kenwood and the JVC, I do think Bluetooth should be built in as it is on the Pioneers.

I have not yet installed the HD radio module as this requires an antenna splitter (KS-U21) to continue getting traffic. Unfortunately, part KS-U21 is virtually unobtainable at this time.I am also waiting on my ipod interface so will have to provide an update on that later.

Physically the unit looks good. As installed in the Civic it looks very close to a factory install.The removable, flip down, screen is a great feature unique to the JVC.The screen is nice and large, defintely bigger than the DNX 5120.However, keep in mind that in some vehicles, the screen will stick out a bit more form the dash than some other units and may thus look more "aftermarket" than some others.I was originally going to install this in a 2nd Gen MR2 and it just stuck out to far for my tastes.In the Honda it sits in a "pod" so this is not an issue.

Install was no harder or easier than any other 2-Din head unit.It does work with the PAC Steering Wheel interface controller.

I do feel that for the price of this unit it should include some additional "standard" features.If it included either Bluetooth or HD built-in, this could make it stand out from the pack and not require another box to hide under the dash.Heck, if they just included an iPod cable or an AV cable it would be nice.Do lifetime traffic instead of 3 months.Just provide something that makes this more than another "me too" GPS.This unit costs a good bit more than the DNX5120 but it does not feel like I got a lot more.

So, is this a good head unit?Absoultely.I think it does everything well.I guess the rub is that it does no one thing great, it just has not raised the bar in any features other than the removable faceplate.Some of this could be revised in software, but the same can be said for every other manufacturer.

If this unit were the same price as the DNX5120 I would call it a toss up.You would be trading some features for others so it is a matter of what is more important to you.Currently it is a fair bit more expensive.If I were to get another GPS today, and it were between these two, I would likely go with the Kenwood.

Product Description:
The XM Roady2 personal audio system from Delphi turns your Roady2 XM Satellite Radio receiver into a portable listening device, no strings attached. You'll no longer be dependent on your XM home or car adapter kit for listening--the personal audio system includes a streamlined docking station, a headset with a built-in XM antenna, and a dedicated, compact AC power adapter for indoor use. A Roady2 XM receiver is required for use and sold separately.
The kit also expands the Roady2's performance abilities, giving you a digital FM tuner (especially handy when the XM signal is obstructed by buildings, trees, etc.) and a stock ticker so you can keep track of up to 20 of your favorite stocks while listening to your favorite XM music, news, sports, and talk channels. (Stock data is provided by Comstock, Inc.; stock and market index information is delayed by approximately 25 minutes.)
A built-in wireless XM audio adaptor transmits the XM signal to one of 12 FM frequencies, perfect for wireless use through a car stereo, boombox, surround receiver, hi-fi component tuner, or other radio. An additional volume control on the headset lets you adjust the volume of both XM and FM stations without your having to access the main unit.
A rechargeable and replaceable lithium-ion battery pack built into the docking station lasts up to 4 hours in XM mode and at least 12 hours in FM mode. The docking station's blue backlit LCD shows XM channel info as well as FM station and battery-life status.
