5Good DVD player
By Yanni
I don't know where to begin about this DVD Player. I've installed it and have been testing it for a while now. This player is awesome. I put it in a 2001 grand prix gt. I was worried that the screen was going to hit my air vents, but you can adjust the angle of the screen. I have not used the bluetooth, or sirius. This unit does not come with an iPod cable, but you can run your computer cable to the usb port on this and control it from the screen with the ipod receiving a charge as well (you must buy a specialized cable from clarion to hook directly into your ipod). The unit does allow you to upgrade to navigation later on if you want to add that, as well as a rear view camera to be added later on as well. I do have 2 12" Rockford p3's hooked up to this as well as a 1000W amp, and this unit handles them beautifully, well maybe even a little too well because of how loud my car can get. I did ground my cable and am able to watch movies with the flip of a switch. It is quite easy to do (I know almost nothing about cars and I did this myself). There are so many features about this player I haven't even gotten to explore yet. The only downside to this player, is that if you are listening to music, lets say Metallica's S&M album, where the music is continuous from track to track, this player does pause between tracks when the album is supposed to be seamless between tracks. Still, overall, I'm more than happy to have this DVD player in. A lot of jealous friends

2Wow. Save your money.
By FrigginGenius
This is a VERY basic, run of the mill unit. I guess the ONLY thing nice about it is the built in bluetooth phone integration with bluetooth music streaming. I was able to easily connect my Andriod to it, and with the setting enabled, it will reconnect every time without much fuss.Now for the negative:1. The volume up/down buttons on the front are CLUNKY. If you are used to circular volume knobs, stay away.2. The screen on the unit I had did not open fully by itself--I had to push the screen manually into position. I might have gotten a bad one here but, wow... after spending this much money, you'd think they'd at least get this right. 1 word... Cheap.3. No high/low pass filter. I thought I could live without this... but no I can't. There is nothing worse than distorted sound because you are trying to push bass onto a mid speaker. Not only that, you can ruin a sub by pushing high frequencies to it. Sure my amps have adjustments built in, but do I really want to have to adjust it from my trunk? Nahhh...4. No Graphic Equalizer at all... This unit comes equipped with Bass and Treble settings only that affect all speakers, including the sub. What a joke... This isn't the 1970s.5. Screen doesn't automatically close when you turn off the car. I looked for a setting to enable this. There isn't one. ...pushing a button and waiting for it to close everytime before you can shut off your car... Annoying.6. No detachable face plate... so any thief dumb enough to steal this unit will have no problem hooking it up to their jalopy.7. Touch screen is noticeably unresponsive.8. The controls are not layed out in a way that makes sense... I guess that's my take on it anyway.Bottom line:If you're in the market for a new deck, and you want a touch screen like this one, spend at least $500 (on the deck alone.. not including additional add-ons). As I figured out, you cannot cheap out on these things. If your budget is less than 500, buy a non-lcd version (I personally like the Alpine Excelon line). The best bang for your buck for single din units that I found was the Pioneer AVH-P6300BT. I bought it and I am extremely happy with it. My only gripe is no bluetooth streaming... but the bluetooth phone integration is amazing. Synced my phonebook to the unit flawlessly, something that this Clarion unit didn't do... but I digress. Do not buy this unit unless you are giving/recommending it to someone you don't like.

4GREAT BUY. It does everything and more.
By SMAnders
I have owned three different flip screen radios and this is, by far, the most user friendly. It loads iPod menus instantly and utilizes my backup camera perfectly. The sound quality and audio options are great! It's easy to shift from menu to menu while driving with little concentration. The radio presets are easily accessed and the remote has every option on it that you could want. And the Bluetooth works flawlessly and is the easiest Bluetooth to set up that I've ever worked with. The ONLY complaint I have is that the touch screen isn't very touch sensitive. You definitely have to TOUCH for it to respond. Maybe that's a good thing though. I highly recommend this!! Enjoy!
