    May 1, 2007
    Pros: CD/USB/SDChip/MP3-WMA inputs, nice presentation, easy install, killer customer service
    Cons: problems in units I've had - but see above about Customer Service

    Summary: Where do I begin... I'm afraid I'll sound like a shill, or a company employee. I'm neither. I have an odyssey which started with my buying one of the earlier models at WalMart. That model had 4x45 into 4 speakers, including two speakers which ... read more

    Summary:  Pros vs Cons, Well everyone to this point has covered the usual High & Low points so I won't repeat them here. They are typical responses you will see with about any inexpensive Car audio system. So I have taken most of the complaints with a ... read more

    Pros: Sound quality is excellent, even with factory speakers. Great features and price!
    Cons: 30 day warranty scares me. Display can be somewhat distracting at night.

    Summary: I purchased this unit today at Walmart for 79.87 plus tax. After completely reading the instructions I found the installation into a full size Ford simple. It only took about 30 minutes to properly install. After testing the unit I was rather impressed ... read more

    Pros: USB and SD port, detachable face
    Cons: USB port, CD player dont work anymore. It's just a radio!

    Summary: I loved my VRCD400-SDU. It took some time to get it installed in my Malibu but, we finally got it. I bought it specifically for the USB and SD card use. I bought it for a Birthday Present for me about a year ago. I don't beat it up nor abuse the ... read more

    Pros: Plenty of user friendly features and good sound.
    Cons: As of this review, I can't think of anything that would be considered a con.

    Summary: I bought this unit recently due to the self-destruction of the previous unit in my van. I was really impressed by the usb and sd ports while looking at the different models in the store. I ultimately chose this unit, and also picked up a GM wire harness ... read more

    Summary: I've had the VRCD400SDU for a couple of weeks now. First off, I had email the company's tech support asking about the difference between the two VRCD400SDU and VRCD500SDU. I got a response within 24 hours (not too shabby!) saying that the two models ... read more

    Pros: Aux, SD, USB, removable faceplate. No premature skipping in mp3 mode.
    Cons: Frame has a lip that is not removable.

    Summary: I bought the unit Dec 2006 from Walmart. It was not mounted in the display area, but sitting on the shelf under the connection wires. Several people who wrote earlier reviews seem to have had some bad experiences and some have had some decent ones. I ... read more

    MP3 FRONT INPUT
    WMA/CDA/MP3 CAPABILITY
    CD
    Loudness Control
    ESTHETICS-BLACK FACE

    Summary: First of all, it installed fairly easily in my '92 Protege. Simply followed directions from the black, red and blue manual, and bought a wiring harness conversion at Fry's for $20 which allows removing the radio upon sale of the vehicle and easy old ... read more

    Pros: SD slot
    AUX plug

    Up to 45-sec ESP (supposedly)
    Cons: Bad display scheme
    Flimsy-feeling volume knob

    Lack of CD-Text
    Etcetera...

    Summary: I had a nice old JVC unit that came with the car when I bought it a few months back. Unfortunately, the CD player in it refuses to work any longer, so I made a trip to my local WalMart to see what they carried. Lo and behold, the ultimate car stereo ... read more

    Pros: Multi-media features
    Cons: But they don't work as advertised (unless I just got a defective unit).

    Summary: I purchased this unit this past weekend. The packaging was nice, the installation was easy. The unit looked nice and sounded decent (though not as good as one with a MOSFET amp, but for the low price it wasn't bad at all). I liked the SD slot, USB port ... read more

    Pros: See review.
    Cons: See review.

    Summary: I picked up this hunk of junk at Walmart for $80 thinking it would be a good bang for the buck head unit. Wrong! I'm not a car audio expert but it doesn't take an expert to realize that it's worth the extra $20 to buy a name brand head unit. Let's ... read more

    Cons: Poor quality
    Short warantee
    Blue light too bright
    Tracks skip

    Summary: Overall, I was very happy with this stero.  Aso thers have said, there's some skipping around on tracks and you lose your place on MP3s unless you turn off your car while it's on...at least with mine.  After about 6 months of light use, the
