Great value
If you are looking for something, anything, to fill the void in your old dash, without hacking it open to DIN size, this is worth your consideration. I have no use for the cassette and only limited interest in the analog tuner. But the aux input is great, and surprisingly, the tuner is pretty good too. Power output is marginal. Plan to use the line out jacks and an external amplifier if your car is moderately noisy. Not a 5 star product, but definitely a good value and worth the money not to have to do dash surgery. |  | Reviewed on 2007-12-29
not as advertised
This unit was advertised as a replacement for older dual shaft units. This is not the case. It is in fact a DIN unit masquerading as a dual shaft product, that is incompatible with original shaft-mounted units. | | Reviewed on 2007-11-14
My Cheap iPod-Ready Boat Radio
I put the DC4100 in my boat (inside the cabin, not waterproof for exterior use) with the pure intention of simply having a radio on my boat that was iPod ready. Having looking at other decks with more features, I really couldn't see spending more money for stuff I likely wouldn't use. I wanted to have some power for driving medium sized speakers, and I didn't want to waste time installing a used deck, so I opted for this product. It met my expectations on quality and construction, and it sounded as good as I hoped using either the radio or the iPod. A good solution for the money. | | Reviewed on 2007-10-28
Not bad
Before I say anything else about this item, bear in mind: this is a very inexpensive piece of car stereo equipment.
This being said, it pretty much gets the job done. Sound quality is decent. Don't know how well it would do as a stand-alone receiver, as it has only two speaker outputs and rather low wattage. On the plus side, it also has two RCA outputs, so plugging it into an amp or a CD player (which is what I did), is pretty easy. I had some major issues with ground-loop hum at first, though. (One car-stereo guy I consulted said that it may just be an issue with how the tape player is grounded.) Got rid of the hum, but it took some doing.
Another plus, though: the front 1/8" aux input jack is great. I really wish that this would become a more standard feature - I mean, how many people don't ever want to plug an iPod into the car stereo at least occasionally?
Bottom line: this isn't comparable to a bottle of fine French wine, but what do you expect at Thunderbird prices? | | Reviewed on 2007-09-13
Do not expect a fit.
Let me first state that I knew going in that this was a very low end unit. That being said, buyer beware. I bought this for my 69 Cutlass because 1) I do not drive it that much and 2)I was not going to spend 200+ for a USA-1 radio for the car and 3)I just wanted some noise. The volume control and tuning controls do not have adjustable shafts, so the unit will not match up to the original radio plate holes. Additionally, the shaft opening for this particular car is 2-3 MM smaller that the the width of the unit, so even if the shafts were adjustable, the radio would not fit through the shaft hole in the radio plate. | |
