Pros: SD card capable of viewing pictures and VERY small videos, with short-name mp3s as well.
Cons: Very poorly designed controls. Short mp3 names. Very cheap.
The Bottom Line: Stay away. It crapped out in less than a month. All your paying for is the SD card port and the color screen.

| jakereindl's Full Review: iLO CA3000V Car CD/ MP3 Player |
Run, run away!
I bought this thing because of my love for gadgets. And seeing it had SD card and video playing capability I bought it.
Well it was a huge let down. First and most aggravating is the way you change songs. This circular dial which common sense would say is your volume control, is used to skip through your songs and mp3 playlist.
Let me play a scenario out for you. 60 MPH you attempt to change from track 1 to track 2. You reach down, glancing occasionally at the knob, move it, just a bit, look up... Crap, your finger moved! Your on track 3 at this time, so you move it back a bit. It starts track 3 over. You move it back more, and now it has gone past 1, and reversed back to the last track on the cd.
Next kicker. I like to see at a glance what time it is. That's fine for the solid red screen it gives you. But change it to an animation, and you lose every option once available. I never use the animations.
Now, after only 3 weeks of having it, it has begun skipping like mad on brand new CDs. I thought. Ok fine. I'll fix you.
I decide to put them on my SD card and play them.
Wrong.
I had to rename all my songs to something irrelevant and unrecognizable so that it would accept them. I learned this after filling my 512 SD card with my favorites, and only having 3 songs playable.
If I had the receipt I would have returned this thing two minutes after powering it up.
To think I gave up my pioneer for this...I'm sorry Pioneer!
