5 Stars The Clarion 2 Din Receiver is a great product
I bought the Clarion a month ago and I am very pleased with it. I took it to someone to have it installed. He installed it in no time and I was off and running. My wife loves the mp3 hook-up. We went on a trip to FL and that is all we listened to comercial free and all the songs we loved. I enjoy the cd player as well.. Good product for a very reasonable price.
5 Stars Great fit in 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
If you have a Nissan Pathfinder with the notorious BOSE oem system, this is a great replacement for the head unit. I can’t believe how long I went with a broken changer, assuming nothing would be compatible with my system and it’s elaborate amplifier/speakers set-up.
FINALLY all my speakers work consistently and with beautiful sound. I love being able to pop in an MP3 CD or connect a USB drive and listen for hours. Do hunt around and find the antenna connector. I got mine from Crutchfields.
The USB doesn’t read my older iPod shuffle (no surprise) using an adaptor, nor does it work though the AUX input.
1 Star Worng item sent
It was not a good experience buying that car radio. I received the worng item and futhermore the radio did not work. I don’t think I’ll buy anything from that store.
Thank you.
4 Stars great for the price
I needed a double DIN radio to fit in my 2001 4runner. this one went in like it was factory. Nice sized buttons you can hit while driving also nice to have the USB cable in the glove box for my memory sticks and Ipod.
It came well packed and quickly shipped.
4 Stars Clarion DUZ385SAT
The sound is awsome from this unit. I installed the unit in a 2008 Honda Element. I thought this would be the first phase with upgraded speakers to follow. The sound improvement is what I was hoping for – without upgraded speakers. The controls are a bit tricky to learn but do offer a wide range of features. Otherwise, I would give this unit 5 stars.

4 Stars Awesome in-dash DVD player, but…..
This is one fantastic car stereo, but it has two flaws, IMHO…
First, the volume knob is quite small and doesn’t protrude out very far, making it difficult to turn the volume up or down while driving, especially on bumpy roads. I think Clarion should have done two things here. One, make the volume knob pop out farther with a push and then push back into place. Second make the volume control adjustable on-screen, either by dragging and dropping the volume bar or by pushing the icons for more volume or less volume. Either or both of these changes would greatly improve the controls.
Secondly, for some reason if the stereo isn’t on the Ipod input when you turn the car off, then it will not recognize that there is an Ipod attached when you turn the car on until you remove and re-attach the Ipod, which is not a huge deal, unless you keep the Ipod in your locked glove-box then it is a pain in the ……
For these two reasons I give it four stars, but other than that it is AWESOME!!! And, as always, Amazon is impeccably priced and their service is top-notch!!!
Also, one last note…I wanted to redo my interior with more brushed aluminum and this stereo looks killer in the dash. I love the brushed aluminum look!
5 Stars Awesome
This radio has everything you’ll ever want and then some. I agree that the volume knob is a bit small but I use the remote mostly anyway.
