Clarion VRX485VD 7-Inch Single-Din Multimedia Station with Fully Motorized Touch Panel Control and iPod Ready Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one fantastic car stereo, but it has two flaws, IMHO...
First, the volume knob is quite small and doesn't protrude out very far, making it difficult to turn the volume up or down while driving, especially on bumpy roads.I think Clarion should have done two things here.One, make the volume knob pop out farther with a push and then push back into place.Second make the volume control adjustable on-screen, either by dragging and dropping the volume bar or by pushing the icons for more volume or less volume.Either or both of these changes would greatly improve the controls.

Secondly, for some reason if the stereo isn't on the Ipod input when you turn the car off, then it will not recognize that there is an Ipod attached when you turn the car on until you remove and re-attach the Ipod, which is not a huge deal, unless you keep the Ipod in your locked glove-box then it is a pain in the ......

For these two reasons I give it four stars, but other than that it is AWESOME!!!And, as always, Amazon is impeccably priced and their service is top-notch!!!

Also, one last note...I wanted to redo my interior with more brushed aluminum and this stereo looks killer in the dash.I love the brushed aluminum look!

Clarion OHM875VD 8-Inch Overhead Monitor with DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had Clarion car audio in the past, but have never owned or seen the Clarion overhead DVD players/monitor.

In the beginning I researched overhead DVD players/monitors ranging from, Jenson, Audiovox, Insignia, and Clarion.The Jenson, Audiovox, and Insignia all looked and felt very cheap. I had also read reviews that many of the Audiovox players would break or just stop working after a few weeks. The picture quality of Jenson, Audiovox, Insignia just did not compare to the Clarion. Due to this and the reviews I have seen on the other 3 players led to my decision to purchase the Clarion.

I picked up my Clarion OHM875VD for $499 @ Frys electronics.The installers did an excellant job installing the DVD player into my Crew Cab Silverado.I do recommend purchasing the additional hardwired FM Modulator. This will allow the DVD players sound to be directly heard through your car/truck radio speakers and is close to CD sound quality. Much better than using a cheap wireless FM modulator. Overall with installation, the FM modulator, and DVD player ended up costing me around $570.
