I installed this reciever in my 96 jeep grandcherokee.It operates great and is easy to use w/remote.Just need to install a new antenna as the reception is not the greatest in some areas.Antennas should be replaced every 3 to 4 years as they do wear out

This is an excellent car stereo, especially considering the price. Used it in an '03 Galant to replace an OEM Infinity system. Highly recommend this system. Installation was easy.

I have finally installed this a few weeks ago. I was happy with how easy it is to install and wire up. The sound is good. Once you have all the settings programed and you are starting to get familiar with the controls. I found that I do not even have to look at the unit to change stations or inputs anymore. Also I prefer a knob for volume controls and it gives you good starting point to find the other controls by feel for those that prefer not to take their eyes off the road. Also the input variety is nice, I still have to try the ipod & usb inputs. Overall it is a clean unit that is easy to use.

It's OK - but not the best car stereo I've ever had. We got it because we wanted a USB interface to play songs from a thumb drive or ipod shuffle, and an AUX jack for other connections - and, it came recommended by a car audio guy who raved about it. It was a breeze to install. The sound is good, but not quite as good as our older Pioneer unit which it replaced. Most disappointing aspect: it will only play mp3s, not mp4s. Almost ALL of our digitally stored songs are mp4s. Fortunately the new version of iTunes has a "Convert to mp3" function now. Additional disappointment: our iPod shuffle (an older model) will not work via the USB connection. Fortunately, it can be played using the AUX port. So, not a total loss. The CZ209 manual suggests that only certain models of iPod will work, and refers you to the website for a list. I have scoured their website, which only carries the same reference, pointing to itself, without actually providing the promised information. If it's there, it's extremely well hidden. If I had it to do over again, I'd MAYBE get the CZ309 so I could at least play songs from my iTunes collection via USB from a thumb drive. But I think I'll live with the CZ209 for the time being. C'mon Clarion: post that list of compatible iPods you promised, so we will at least know which one to get when the time comes.
10/21/09 One more thing: I'd gotten pretty used to it, enjoying the sound (my PT Cruiser has a great set of speakers) and convenience of plugging my iPod Shuffle into the AUX port - that is until the unit inexplicably died. Yes, dead. It's not unplugged, nor have any fuses blown. It just suddenly died after less than 3 months.

I installed this stereo in my '71 Spitfire with some Kenwood speakers. The sound is great, even with just two rear speakers. I will be adding some front speakers sometime soon. There are tons of good features for the price, and I especially like the USB connection - I have put my music on a flash drive, and I don't have to mess with CD's or an MP3 player unless I want to.
