Released June, 2010
The Pros:Tons of audio controls for fine tuning your system. Clean aesthetic - not gaudy or cheap looking. Great affordable option for the more complex car audio setup.
The Cons:A bit of lag when accessing your iPod via the unit. Very slow reading USB pen drive. Video playback need a very low bitrate.
