Pros: Large, motorized screen, has all the features you find in higher end units.Cons: Screens and displays are very blocky and unattractive. Large blocks of text get in the way of what you're trying to see. Nothing is intuitive except setting stations. Sends you to subscreens for everything, even simple tasks like changing tracks.Summary: The Power Acoustik gives you a lot of features for the money. However the buyer should be aware that you're getting what you pay for here. It definitely does everything it says (if you're lucky. I had problems with 2 units). It's how it does it that bother me. Yes you get a big screen, but it's one of the ugliest displays I've seen. Yes, it's touch screen, but you have to touch it a LOT to do the simplest thing. For example if you're listening to a cd and simply want to go to the next track, you'll have to touch the screen, which in turn brings up a series of boxes with text. Aside from the fact that these boxes are huge and ugly and block most of what you're trying to see in the first place, it's very clunky and distracting when in most higher end unit you can just touch the track you want on the screen.When listening to a dvr cdr full of music, the unit gets Kudos for even being able to play it. But it takes about 30 seconds for it to load before you hear any music at all. And you'll have to do that every single time you turn the key off, even for a second. Imagine a day of running errands. While you're waiting on the cd to load, all other functions are inoperable, so you can't even switch to the radio while you wait.When you have a cd full of mp3 files loaded you'll get a split screen with the album title on the left and the track listings on the right. Nice. But again, instead of simply touching the track or title listing you want, when you touch the screen you get those big blocky text things. Then you must touch the "Left" or "right" button. Once you get to the side of the screen you want you must painstakingly toggle up and down to the title you want by repeatedly touching huge blocks printed with the words "up" and "down". Once you finally have what you want highlighted you still have to touch the big huge "enter" block to make it play, then "exit" to get all that crap off the screen.Keep in mind that all this stuff appears over the top of the listings your trying to see.When you compare that to say, a Pioneer unit where you simply touch your finger on the screen and drag it down to move the list of songs up and down, then touch the one you want....you start to understand why they cost more. And you wonder if it's worth the extra money.In my case, absolutely. This unit has all of the features of the Pioneer I was looking at, a bigger screen than the one I was looking at and even an sd drive that the pioneer unit didn't have. But in hindsight I would gladly pay $100-$200 more for a double din that just works more intuitively and looks better doing it (the sd drive in the one I have, a replacement unit, doesn't work by the way).

This screen is awesome when it comes to clarity and definition. The touch screen is wonderful and flawless. Some of the key features are the bluetooth. The Bluetooth is able to stream music and phone services along with your phonebook. The only flaw to the bluetooth is that in order to use the on screen display, you have to go to that menu. So if your watching a movie and want to make a call, its better to pick up your phone and dial it and it will dispay on the screen for the duration of the call, and then resume the movie. The caller ID works well and everything. The other flaw is that the microphone cord is not long enough to mount in a far distance. Other than that, I think everything is great. I can change bass and treble and EQ while on any screen without music turning off. Good product. Very pleased.

This head unit could be very good for the money, but here are some of the cons first:CONs:1. The software user interface on it is the worst I've ever seen - very difficult and frustrating to use. e.g. If you are playing MP3s from a USB drive, and want to change the bass/treble, the music stops as you navigate to the on-screen menu where the base and treble is. After you adjust the bass/treble and naviate back to the USB source where you're music is playing from, it resumes. Another example of the user interface is the playback screen for MP3s when playing from the USB drive: It is terrible and virtually impossible to use. The only way you can really navigate relatively easily is using the remote control. (but see #2)2. The remote stopped working the day after I installed the head unit. It's very cheap, unintuitive, and frustrating to use.3. The built-in SD card slot is behind the DVD screen which opens until it's completely horizontal, allowing you to insert an SD card. The problem is, the unit would not read any SD cards I have, independent of whether I had 10 songs on it the root of the card, or thousands in sub folder. It may work for a non-SDHC (4GB size or smaller), but I no longer have any of these small cards. I don't want to switch amongst a bunch of small SD cards to play music - that would be taking a step backwards for me.4. There is no rear USB connection where you can attached a USB storage device and keep it out of sight. I looked inside, and there were some connections on the main board, but didn't get a chance to find/make a cable that would work. The only way it works now is to have a USB cable hanging out of the front of the stereo permanently. It was successfully working with a 16GB USB flash drive.PROs:1. It has all of the features I wanted at the best price I've seen. FYI, these head units are sold under many different names (Soundstream, Boss, Farenheit, etc). As far as I know, they are all the same hardware with just different branding within the software and on the bezel2. It looks very nice when it's turned off.NOTE: I didn't get a chance to test the bluetooth nor video. I really can't see it working well based on how the rest of unit performed.To summarize: If the manufacturer put a lot more time and effort into designing the software and operating system, it could be a great head unit for the price.
