Great start to HD radio in your car
This is a great car receiver for anyone who’s interested in free HD radio. It’s hard to tell the difference between FM and HD radio FM, but the additional channel on each band allows the user to listen to more music. The huge improvement is listening to AM radio on HD. For Bay Area residents, listen to KNPR 1050 Sports (too bad they don’t broadcast HD on its sister 680 AM band). The difference between 1050 AM and 1050 HD is truly amazing. The front AUX is a nice feature where you can plug in your iPod or MP3 player with a mini-stereo cable. When you play a MP3 CD, you can search quickly for the MP3 (by number) you want to listen to by using the volume dial (better than using the buttons).
The only problem is it takes nearly 5 seconds to synch from regular radio to HD, and it’s not a very stylist front panel. But it only costs $130 or less… I got the unit installed by Best Buy so I can’t tell you about any installation issues (installing my previous car receiver was a pain so I decided to pay for labor this time).
Update (2/9/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Best stereo I’ve ever owned
This stereo exceeded all my expectations. Its easy to use and the sound is simply amazing. I got HD reception many FM stations which were so much clearer, almost like a CD. Even the AM stations were clearer, an added bonus. The knob is easy to use and its simply a beautiful blue lit faceplate. I would highly recommend.
