Summary
I own an 02 Jetta TDI and have had nothing but problems with the factory radio, which apparently is nothing new among VW owners. Great car….crappy radio/receiver. The dealer replaced it twice under warranty, but when the right side speakers started...
I purchased this head unit from Crutchfield for my 2003 Toyota Tacoma. Since I know you're reading this review to learn about all the things I didn't like, I'll start there. USB Interface: My biggest gripe. Not the way it works, but the...
Strength
USB input, customizable, 4v preouts, good tuner

Weakness
Only compatible USB storage device made by Seagate, one l.e.d. color
I'm looking for a budget head unit but at the same time a usb connection is a must. I was about to buy the Sony Xplod for a little less money but most of my audio expert friends told me to get a Pioneer instead. So the only choice was the P6900UB for my...
