The Buyer
When I first got this, it felt kinda bulky. Looked okay. I bought this so I can replace my old broken-down DVD monitor/receiver and did not want to spend too much $$. Amazon.com had a great price with free HD add-on. I have been installing radio ever since I got my first car when I turned 16...that's over 30 years ago. The installation was straight forward, not difficult at all. I've hooked this up with the 10" overhead monitor in my van which I've also installed previously with my Pioneer DVD receiver. Worked fine for first month. Screen was okay. I did not like the control buttons.Oh, the HD radio was G8! I couldn't believe how nice HD radio sounded. After the first month, the dvd started to freeze. Then repeats the scene over and over again. Sometimes the monitor screen turns black and message stating bad usb. Changes the radio station by itself...I think I got a HUNTED radio. By the time I decided to have this fixed or return to Amazon, it was too late. Clarion would not honor 1 year warranty since it was not installed by authorized Clarion dealer...WATCH OUT do it yourself installers! These days, installation is much easier than in the early 80's when radio had lots of problem with whinning noise..especially when you try to install amps. I don't think my problem is not the installation, but the radio itself. Just collecting dust now. I'll try to sell it in Ebay as parts to get some $$$. What a junk! So, BEWARE!
 great head unit April 14, 2010

I bought this tuner as a combo package with the separate Clarion HD tuner. The price was about half what any other units were. It gives great clarity and power. Some reviews about the functionality are true - the USB menu needs to be easier to use; it is slow to start every time the car is turned on or off; you should be able to personalize the background, etc.
But, I am fully satisfied. The price, power, and capabilities of this unit exceeded my expectations.
Junk March 18, 2010
C. Woodruff (Washington, DC area)
I ordered thinking i was getting a deal when I actually got ripped off. The unit worked for less than two months nad now it will not read any optical media. In order to get it fixed, I must uninstall, ship to NY and wait.
I only watched one movie on it and now it just says disc loading and then goes back to previous source. I called Clarion and finally got a number to dealer support who told me that the laser must be out of line. I told them that that it was less than three months old and they said that I would have to send it in.
Even when it worked there were a lot of glitches in the software/programming which caused a lot of frustration. The biggest is that when I turned the car off when playing a DVD, when I turned the car back on it would repeat the same chapter over and over. I had to eject or stop the dvd to start over.
I love the sound of the HD radion and the sound from the Ipod cable but not being able to play any optical media with less than three months of ownership makes this a big piece of junk.
under 200 bucks for a media player with a screen March 10, 2010
H. Ho (PENSACOLA, FL, US)
this is probably the best multimedia station with a screen u can get for under 200 bucks. it works without any problem to my back tv. however it does take a little long to load my dvd. other then that its a great media player for the price..
This is a great head unit for the price March 3, 2010
