Pros: Great sound, reads mp3 text, easy to use, 7 gigs of mp3s in car!
Cons: Wired remote only shows 8 characters, cant see whole song title at once
The Bottom Line: If you want a changer with mp3 capability, there's only a handful of options, and this seems like a great choice. Buy it on EBAY to get it cheap!

The wired remote is pretty good, attaches via velcro to my dash and looks good, very easy to use, just rotate the knob to advance tracks.
