Been using this a while now, and generally very happy
just fixed the last problem - since installing the adaptor, I lost on / off with ignition, and memory.
Assumed I had unplugged the switched live connector during install, took it out, was all fine, thought 'what if' and swapped the live / switched back to default in case the adaptor was that clever.....and it was, so all sorted, just need to fix my aerial connector I accidently pulled off now
So impressions.
CD / MP3 - sounds excellent, very happy
Tuner - sounded fine the brief time I used it, not really a radio person
Bluetooth - Excellent, my motorola (due for replacement next month) doesnt autoconnect, so 2 buttons to establish connection. Nokia's however work fine.
Adaptor - Sorry to say a little poor. The controls all work perfectly, but for some designers idea that the stereo must beep quietly whenever one is pressed, Why!!!
The display driver is what really lets it down, I hoped for track names to be relayed, but no, just get the timer for current song, and track number, a bit pointless really.
The radio does give station name though
Also expected the phone interface to show number calling, or at least 'phone', but nothing, just sits where the cd is paused.
So, would I buy it again, maybe, depends what else I could find
Love the stereo, but the interface lets it down, would prefer expanded display items and rid of that beep. Doesnt do a lot for what it cost.
I would probaly buy the stereo again, but a cheaper autoleads adaptor and lose the display
(if you disconnect the blue wire (system remote) then you still get the date on the MID.)
At the End of the day, the £230 got me a good stereo, bluetooth hands free kit and steering contol & display adaptor, I couldnt match that from other manufactures.
