CDX-GT40U 3 5 1 1
Got it for the USB but... This radio works very well and I love the preset EQ because it is so easy to change it to get the right sound. The display is easy to read. Setting the clock could not be figured out without the manual, but all the other features where easy to understand. The main reason I chose this car radio was for the USB so that I could plug in my iPhone listen to music and have it charge at the same time. That does not work so I still have to use my old cigarette lighter adapter to charge and the AUX plug to listen to music. So, I was a little disappointed. But I still would recommend the product overall just not if you want to use an iPhone. June 1, 2012
