Lame!
Wonder if it's the heat? 'cuz it can't be the cold if it's happening in NC
It could have been the cold - I moved here from CT, and they cracked before I moved here.....

I know a lot of people aren't big on Sony but i have this and it sounds good has all the features I needed - built in blue tooth, external mic, ipod controls and aux/usb, as well as 3 preamp outputs...
the down side is that the USB is in the front, and that the dimmer is not automatic.

The deal with that one is that the buttons are BRIGHT blue and DO NOT DIM. Only the LCD dims.
Secondly, it beeps annoyingly every time you turn it off. You cannot disable it within the radio. I found a solution online with a small relay (really, 4 relays in one) so you can have it cut the speaker sound when the power cuts for the radio.
I was in love with this one until I found those two things out.
The JVC I got has everything that one does, plus more. Only downside is I don't think it looks quite as nice, and it doesn't have preset buttons.

For some reason, it seems that when I set a "user" color (not one of the standard 30) it won't dim. I can dial it in almost perfect with the user color option - it matches the factory green almost perfectly, but won't dim. I have a preset color on now and the dimmer works, but the lighting is just a touch blue compared to the interior. I am actually using the timer feature as I commonly drive with my parking lamps on at daylight and dusk times and I don't want it dimmed then.
Agreed - never kept my MP3 player current, too much work. Pandora has been great. I even set up a '90's station so I can jam to Vanilla Ice.

I'm still playing with the settings but so far I love it. Plus it's nice to be able to control the music with the iPod still.

So, on these newer HUs, how do you get to the presets if there aren't any buttons?

Presets for the radio stations you do with the remote. Other presets for audio settings, ect. are done through the function buttom you see on the bottom right. It's one of the easier HU's I've bought that you could figure out how to navigate the menus without reading through the entire manual.

You can also scroll through the preset with the right knob. Right knob is not a knob, it is a 5 way rocker/directional button. You can set it to A) Auto Tune, B) Manual Tune, C) Preset. So when you hit right you go to Preset 1,2,3,4,.. You hit UP it is FM, you hit down it is AM. (This is the way on my kenwood, I think it is same with these) This can be adjusted in the settings.
I don't see the fascination with the preset buttons, especially when you have all numbers on the remote.

No you don't have this exact one. Great minds think alike. I set the demo mode back on last night so my wife could watch it. Her remark was "Oh pretty colors."

So, my NEW JVC stopped puytting out sound. A couple of times it has come on and just cut right out again. I'll call Crutchfield tomorrow for a replacement.

Getting rid of XM and that hideous tuner finally. Gotta hide these two things somewhere.

SC-C1 Sirius tuner.
I'm going to likely try my XM antenna and see how it goes. If it works okay for now, I'll likely leave it there.
Anyone done this? Trying to remember how much room is behind the radio...
